Informacje po polsku

Czym jest ten aktor?

Ten aktor umozliwia automatyczne odpytywanie Centralnego Rejestru Beneficjentow Rzeczywistych (CRBR) - rejestru prowadzonego przez Ministerstwo Finansow, w ktorym kazda polska osoba prawna musi ujawniac swoich beneficjentow rzeczywistych. Aktor uzywa Puppeteer tylko do nawiazania sesji z portalem (Angular SPA z ochrona Incapsula), a nastepnie odpytuje wewnetrzne REST API bezposrednio - co jest znacznie szybsze niz nawigacja po interfejsie webowym.

Dla kogo?

Narzedzie jest przeznaczone dla oficerow compliance AML w bankach i instytucjach finansowych weryfikujacych deklaracje UBO, kancelarii prawnych identyfikujacych rzeczywistych kontrolerow w transakcjach M&A, firm fintechowych automatyzujacych screening KYC przy onboardingu klientow, doradcow podatkowych weryfikujacych struktury wlascicielskie na potrzeby cen transferowych, oraz dziennikarzy sledczych sledzacych sieci wlascicielskie spolek.

Co mozna sprawdzic?

Wyszukiwanie po NIP (numer identyfikacji podatkowej), KRS (numer w Krajowym Rejestrze Sadowym), nazwie firmy (dopasowanie czesciowe) lub PESEL beneficjenta (przez zapytania wsadowe). Aktor obsluguje przetwarzanie wsadowe - mozna przekazac wiele zapytan w jednym uruchomieniu. Kazdy wynik zawiera nazwe firmy, NIP, KRS, forme prawna, adres oraz liste beneficjentow rzeczywistych z ich imionami, nazwiskami, obywatelstwem, krajem zamieszkania, typem kontroli i procentem udzialow.

Jak zaczac?

Uruchom aktora na platformie Apify, podajac NIP, KRS lub nazwe firmy. Zalecane jest uzycie proxy rezydencjalnych (portal jest chroniony przez Incapsula WAF). Dla screeningu KYC/AML mozesz uzyc tablicy queries do weryfikacji wielu firm w jednym uruchomieniu. Pay-per-use - okolo 23 zl za 100 zapytan. Darmowe $5 kredytow Apify = ~90 sprawdzen UBO za darmo.

Limitations

• Proxy recommended - the portal is protected by Incapsula WAF which may block datacenter IPs
• Session establishment via Puppeteer is required (cannot skip the browser step)
• reCAPTCHA is currently disabled on the portal but this could change, which would break the actor
• CRBR only covers legal entities registered in KRS - sole proprietorships (CEIDG) are not included
• Data reflects self-reported UBO declarations - there is no independent verification by the Ministry of Finance
• Companies must update declarations within 7 business days of ownership changes, but delays occur in practice
