Aggregate three primary EU and Switzerland offshore financial license registers into a single, normalized dataset. Built for KYC compliance, AML research, MiFID-passport verification, and brokerage intelligence.

Sources covered:

  • Switzerland FINMA — Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Banks, securities firms, portfolio managers, trustees, and FinTech-licensed companies. Data served as official XLSX files.
  • Malta MFSA — Malta Financial Services Authority. (Phase 2 — Cloudflare-protected; scheduled for a future release)

Use cases

  • KYC / AML compliance — verify counterparty license status before onboarding
  • MiFID-passport research — cross-reference firm authorizations across EU jurisdictions
  • Brokerage intelligence — monitor new entrants and license revocations
  • Regulatory database enrichment — supplement existing compliance databases with EU peripheral registries
  • Market analysis — track FinTech licensing trends in Switzerland

Notes

  • CySEC pages are scraped live each run. FINMA data comes from official XLSX files updated regularly by FINMA.
  • MFSA (Malta) is Cloudflare-protected and will be added in a future release.
  • The actor respects a 1-second politeness delay between requests to CySEC.
  • For full production datasets (maxItems: 0), allow 5-10 minutes of run time.
