Beneficial Owner Search

Beneficial Owner Search is a jXchange service designed to provide consumers the ability to search for beneficial owners as related to the FinCEN Customer Due Diligence (CDD) regulation requirements.

Message Flow

In jXchange, the Beneficial Owner Search service uses a typical exchange of MType messages to provide consumers the ability to search for beneficial owners as related to the FinCEN Customer Due Diligence (CDD) regulation requirements.

Primary Request

The consumer forwards the BenflOwnSrchRq_MType message to the service provider. The message contains the following simple elements:

  • CustId
  • PersonName
  • TaxId
  • TINCode

Primary Response

The service provider returns the BenflOwnSrchRs_MType message to the consumer. The message contains the following simple elements:

  • CustId
  • PersonName
  • TaxId
  • TINCode

Beneficial Owner Search Behavior

The Beneficial Owner Search Behavior service behavior is as follows.

The Beneficial Owner Search root request (BenflOwnSrchRq_MType) includes a documented choice statement that requires one of the following elements: (CustId), (TaxId), or (PersonName). If you enter multiples, the hierarchy is in the same order. The information in the request is about the beneficial owner. The optional elements are (TINCode), which could be used with (TaxId), as well as the Include Extended Element Array (IncXtendElem_AType), which is included due to the Person Name complex containing optional elements (x_PersonName_CType).

The Beneficial Owner Search root response (BenflOwnSrchRs_MType) echoes back the request elements of (CustId), (TaxId), (PersonName), and (TINCode). The Beneficial Owner Search also contains the Legal Entity Search Rec Array (LegalEntitySrchRecArray_AType) which contains Legal Entity Search Rec complex (LegalEntitySrchRec_CType). The Legal Entity Search Rec complex (LegalEntitySrchRec_CType) includes the Beneficial Owner Id (BenflOwnId), the legal entity’s customer id (CustId), the legal entity’s name (PersonName) which references the Person Name complex and the Beneficial Owner Type (BenflOwnType) which relates to the ownership type, the legal entity’s tax id (TaxId), and the (TINCode).
