Business Verification in Chile

Verifik's Business Verification API helps you authenticate Chilean companies using official government data. It's designed to streamline your KYB (Know Your Business) processes, prevent fraud, and ensure you meet all regulatory requirements effortlessly.

We built this integration for businesses that need a fast, secure, and automated way to confirm the legitimacy of companies, partners, or vendors.

What does this API validate?

Our API connects directly with official records to validate:

• Company Name & Identifier: Supports RUT/RUN-like formats (normalized by the service).
• Business Information: Returns company name and status.
• Company Match: Confirms that the company information matches the identifier.

By verifying these details, you can be confident that the company you're dealing with is legitimate and properly registered, significantly lowering the risk of fraud and ensuring compliance.
