General reference · eKYB Reference / eKYB Prefill Coverage

Greece

eKYB Prefill in Greece leverages Greece's source of truth to automatically retrieve and populate business information based on a company's AFM or GEMI number, including the business name, entity type, registration status, registration date, credit rating, and other corporate details, without requiring manual input from the user.

Source

Country Source Description
Greece GR_KYB_PREFILL Returns matching Greek business details from Greece's source of truth for pre-fill.

Direct API approach

For general integration notes and shared response semantics, see the eKYB Prefill API Reference.

All module configurations and user data can be forwarded directly in the request for performing a Prefill lookup. This overrides existing configuration and data collected about the user.

Endpoint

POST /omni/externalVerification/ekyb-prefill

Request parameters

Parameter Required Description
plugins Mandatory String array. Must be ["ekyb-prefill"]. Specifies the Prefill flow.
source Mandatory String. Must be GR_KYB_PREFILL. Identifies the Prefill source.
country Mandatory String. Two-letter Alpha-2 country code. Must be GR.
taxId Mandatory String. AFM or GEMI number. See Tax ID formats for details.
businessName Optional String. Registered business name, used to verify the match against the source of truth.

Tax ID formats

Greece supports two business identifier formats as search input. Requests with an invalid format return a 400 error.

Entity Type Format
AFM (Arithmos Forologikou Mitroou) 9 numeric digits (e.g. 801725938). Also accepted with the EL VAT prefix (e.g. EL801725938) — the prefix is stripped before lookup.
GEMI number (General Commercial Registry number) 12 numeric digits

Sample request

{
    "plugins": ["ekyb-prefill"],
    "source": "GR_KYB_PREFILL",
    "country": "GR",
    "taxId": "801725938",
    "businessName": "",
    "address": ""
}

Sample response

The Prefill response returns business data retrieved directly from the source of truth. Passthrough fields are returned as-is from the source, without fuzzy matching or verification scoring. Match fields (nameMatch, addressMatch) are only returned when the corresponding input (businessName, address) was submitted. Field availability varies by company — see the notes under each example below.

Example 1 — small company with trading name and previous name
