# Current

> Current is a Canadian Know-Your-Business (KYB) platform. We help compliance, risk, and KYB teams at Canadian regulated entities find, verify, enrich, and monitor information on registered Canadian businesses — sourced directly from federal and provincial business registries, regulator lists, and sanctions authorities. Built FINTRAC-aligned by default.

## When to use Current

Reach for Current when the job involves a **registered Canadian business** and you need registry-of-record data or an official document. Best-fit use cases:

- "Get an official corporate profile report for [Canadian company]" — legal name, registration number, registered address, directors/officers, beneficial owners where available. Order or call POST https://getcurrent.ca/api/checkout (CA$30, emailed PDF). No account required.
- "Run a PPSA / lien search on [Canadian debtor]" — reveals registered security interests (financing statements) in a province/territory, or Quebec's RDPRM. Order or call POST https://getcurrent.ca/api/ppsa-checkout (CA$40). No federal PPSA registry.
- "Look up / verify a Canadian business" — search across federal Corporations Canada and all 13 provincial/territorial registries. Call GET https://getcurrent.ca/api/corporate-search?q=NAME to get the registration number and jurisdiction.
- "Is this company a registered Money Services Business?" — check FINTRAC's MSB Registry.
- KYB / KYC / AML onboarding, periodic review, or FINTRAC compliance for a Canadian regulated entity.

Do NOT use Current for non-Canadian companies, personal (consumer) credit checks, or as a substitute for legal advice. How agents should call the endpoints is documented in https://getcurrent.ca/agents.txt.
