By offering a centralized view of counterparties, suppliers, and issuers, VEDaaS enables organizations to identify entity relationships and assess potential risk exposures effectively. This service ensures data accuracy by linking records to parent entities and cross-referencing industry codes and internal client identifiers, facilitating informed decision-making and regulatory compliance. Key Features and Functionality: - Extensive Global Coverage: VEDaaS encompasses data on over 3.5 million legal entities across more than 190 countries and 250 jurisdictions. - Regular Data Validation: With 250,000 data attributes checked weekly, a dedicated team of research analysts independently collects, validates, and maintains records to ensure high data quality. - Authoritative Data Sources: Information is sourced and verified from over 1,500 reliable entities, including government bodies, regulatory stock exchanges, and accredited business registries. - Flexible Access Options: Users can manage single or bulk entity data through an online interface, file transfer, or web server access to the VEDaaS core database. - Service Models: VEDaaS offers two service models to cater to specific regulatory compliance needs: - Managed Data Service (MDS): Manages 58 core data fields, including identifiers like LEI and SWIFT BIC, addresses, industry classifications, and corporate hierarchies essential for onboarding and MiFID II compliance. - Enhanced Data Service (EDS): Provides modular offerings to support various regulatory reporting requirements, such as Dodd-Frank, EMIR, FATCA, AnaCredit, and FCA Transaction Reporting.
