KYC API: Upcoming changes to our connection to the Malaysian register
Posted 2025-10-23
|
Updated 2025-10-30
Summary
We would like to inform you that we have scheduled the implementation of the following changes to our connection with the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) register on KYC API, available with the 19th of November 2025’s release.
Data availability
To further improve the stability and efficiency of our service, we will be consolidating the super dataset with the refresh dataset. Moving forward, only the refresh dataset will be accessible for your use. This adjustment, made in response to client feedback and improved stability, ensures that all existing data fields remain accessible with no changes to mapped data. Additionally, by consolidating calls, we can reduce operational costs, while maintaining our commitment to providing Malaysian data at no additional charge.
Additional entities
We are pleased to announce the inclusion of entities classified as Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) within our integration with the Malaysian registry. For these entities, both the refresh dataset and register report will be available via KYC API v1 and KYC API v2.
We are pleased to share details of the update, including the addition of new fields within the refresh dataset. The first field applies to KYC API v1, whereas the second field is relevant to KYC API v2.
Refresh dataset
New fields
- extraData.registrationDate / additionalData.legalEvents.registrationDate
Merged fields
- people.shareholder.name / associatedEntities.shareholder.name
- people.shareholder.role / associatedEntities.shareholder.role
- people.shareholder.isCorporate / associatedEntities.shareholder.isCorporate
- people.shareholder.shareNumber / associatedEntities.shareholder.shareNumber
- extraData.shareCurrency / additionalData.shares.shareCurrency
- extraData.capital / additionalData.capitalAmount
Please find the before and after responses per dataset below. Kindly note that the example companies mentioned are fictitious, and the availability of data fields in the mock-up is subject to the specific requirements of legal forms.
