# Batch KYB: verify EU licences of banks and payment firms

**Use case:** 

KYB for a list of financial counterparties: each firm is checked against the ECB list of banks, the EBA register of payment and e-money institutions, the ESMA MiFID and MiCA registers and EU warning lists, and compared with the licence it claims. In this example three real firms are licensed and one made-up investment firm is not found, so it gets REVIEW.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/lerider/eu-licence-check.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
