Understanding Standardized Fields

There is a lot of variation in how information for businesses is stored in various datasources, countries and jurisdictions due to local norms. As a result, the information received by Trulioo and previously displayed to you could have a lot of variability and unpredictability which made it difficult for API programmers to consume these responses across multiple geographies.

With the launch of Standardized Fields in KYB, you can expect more predictable and uniform responses to your business verification requests, making it easier to interpret results across all countries and jurisdictions as well as build streamlined internal processes on top of.

Once your account configurations are updated to standardized datasource variants, you will be able to view the new responses across normalized API (NAPI) as well as on Customer Portal.

Standardized Complex Objects

The new Standardized Complex Objects are JSON objects which allow for the information received to be stored in a structured format. A Standardized Complex Object will have a defined format in terms of one or more properties and their associated values. These are hierarchical, so properties fall under their parent Standardized Complex Object and can be repeated in case multiple records exist.

Example:

 Complex Object “Super Heroes” defined as
 Properties - 
      {
           Name : “String”,
           Age : Number,
           Secret Identity : “Name”,
      }

Example Response

"Super Heroes":
[
   {
      "Name":"Superman",
      "Age":35,
      "Secret Identity":"Clark Kent"
   },
   {
      "Name":"Spiderman",
      "Age":20,
      "Secret Identity":"Peter Parker"
   }
]

Standardized Business Names

Root Object: StandardizedBusinessNames
Purpose:
Encapsulates a list of business names along with type classifications. Helps consumers understand what names were used and returned during the KYB match process.

Object: StandardizedBusinessName
Represents a single business name record with associated metadata.

JSON Property	Type	Descriptiopn
Name	string	The business name string
Type	string	A label describing the origin or purpose of the name (see types below)
UsedForMatching	bool	Indicates if the name was used in the entity matching process

Types of Business Names
The following values are valid for the Type field. They help categorize whether a name was provided as input or returned by a registry, and what format it was in.

Type Value	Descriptiopn
Input Business Name	Original business name provided as input
Input Tradestyle Name	Input trade or operating name
Returned Business Name	Registry-returned business name
Returned Registered Name	Registry-returned legally registered name
Returned Alternate Name	Alternate name returned from registry

You can use the following helper logic (implemented in StandardizedBusinessNameType) to categorize a name:

IsReturnedType(string type) → true if the type is from registry data.
IsInputType(string type) → true if the name was provided by the user or system.
