Swiss business data infrastructure
Verified data for risk, trust and compliance.
One API for the Swiss commercial register, IBAN validation, postal codes and statutory VAT rates. Read from the source of record, never from an aggregator, and returned with the provenance attached.
No credit card · Sandbox access on signup · api.datafjord.io
01 · Coverage
Narrow, and exact.
Every endpoint reads a source of record. Responses from the register wrapper carry X-DataFjord-Source and X-DataFjord-Fetched-At, so any answer can be traced to its origin and its moment.
GET /company/che/uid/{uid}Commercial register record, wrapped 1:1 from Zefix. Add refresh=true to force a fresh upstream read.
POST /company/che/searchSearch the Swiss commercial register by name or UID.
GET /company/{country}/id/{id}/personsSignatories and authorised persons on a register entry.
POST /iban/validateStructure and checksum validation, resolved against Swiss bank master data.
GET /post/che/plz/{plz}Swiss postal codes resolved to localities, canton and commune.
GET /vat/{country}/ratesStatutory VAT rates by category, current as of any date.
GET /vat/{country}/rates/historyThe full rate timeline, including changes already through the legislative process.
Provenance
Every answer carries the register it came from, and the moment it was read.
02 · Principles
Built where a wrong answer is a finding.
Banks, insurers, payment providers and regulated fintechs use DataFjord in workflows that get reviewed, not just shipped.
Source of record
Data comes from the original registry, never a resold aggregate. What the register says is what the API returns.
Provenance attached
Source and fetch timestamp travel with the response, so the evidence is in the payload rather than in a log you have to correlate.
Audit ready
Every request is recorded and exportable. Traceability designed for the review, not retrofitted after one.
Fraud prevention
Validate counterparties and IBANs before a transfer settles, rather than after the chargeback arrives.
KYC and AML
Automate entity verification against the register, with the evidence trail an audit will ask for.
Plain integration
REST, JSON and an OpenAPI schema. No SDK needed to get the first call out the door.
03 · Infrastructure
In a bunker, not a region code.
Dedicated hardware in a secure underground facility in Central Switzerland, built inside a former military hospital. Or run it on your own: deployment playbooks ship with the enterprise plan.
Who relies on it
Banks, insurers, payment providers and regulated fintechs.
