What you get

For every match in the BaFin company database:

• Identity - legal name, BaFin-ID, BAK number, register number
• Type - institution classification (credit institution, financial services institution, asset management company, securities institution, crypto custodian, and more)
• Address - street, postal code, city and country
• Authorisations - every regulatory permission (Erlaubnis) the institution holds, each with its grant date, plus any end date and the reason it ended
• Active permissions - the subset of authorisations currently in force
• Dispute resolution - the assigned ombudsman / dispute-resolution entity

No result, no charge. You are only billed for real institution records that are returned. Empty or failed runs cost nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an authorisation (Erlaubnis)? It is a specific regulated activity BaFin has permitted the institution to carry out, such as deposit business, investment advice, portfolio management or crypto custody. Each record lists them all with the date each was granted.

Can I get every asset manager or crypto custodian in Germany? Yes. Choose the matching category and the actor enumerates every institution in it across all result pages.

Can I look up a firm by its BAK or register number? Yes. Provide the exact number for a precise match instead of a name search.

How fresh is the data? Records are read live from the public database at run time, so each reflects the register at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
