New updates and improvements to Bits.
Germany Signing Rules, Faster Document Reviews, and Cleaner Data
Focus: Signing authority for German companies, quicker document checks, and sharper entity data across the board.
Over the past two weeks we extended our ownership and signing-authority engine to Germany and shipped a handful of quality-of-life improvements to documents, applications, and search.
Expanding into Germany
• Bits now automatically works out who is authorized to sign on behalf of a German company — including sole and joint Prokura, multi-person quorum requirements, and power-of-attorney holders — the same way we've long supported Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.
• Role recognition for German company officers is sharper too, so titles like Geschäftsführerin are picked up correctly regardless of grammatical gender.
Faster reviews
• Documents can now be previewed right from the list with a new View action, so your team doesn't need to download a file just to check it.
• Duplicate onboarding applications for the same company are now caught and resolved automatically, keeping your applicant list clean.
Cleaner data, sharper search
• Business activity descriptions on organization profiles can now run up to 1000 characters, leaving room for the full picture pulled from registries and KYB questionnaires.
• Risk classification for Finnish companies now covers the complete set of industry and legal-form codes.
• List views across the dashboard report accurate totals even past 10,000 records, so pagination finally matches reality for high-volume accounts.
German company data, clearer case decisions, and a smoother dashboard
Focus: wider European data coverage, more transparent rule evaluations, and a round of everyday polish.
The last two weeks brought German company data into the platform, made it easier to see exactly why a rule landed the way it did, and tightened up a lot of the small moments you hit every day in the dashboard.
Wider European coverage
• German company data is supported end to end — core company details, legal forms (including Freier Beruf), company status and registry information all flow through to entities.
• Danish companies resolve to the right country across every data source, so Danish entities land exactly where you expect them.
• Swedish company lookups handle the full range of organisation identifiers, including VAT numbers and less common identifier types.
Everyday polish in the dashboard
• Audit trail filtering lets you narrow a long event history down to the events you actually care about.
• Consistent empty states across Risk Score, Workflows, Monitoring, Ongoing Due Diligence and Theming, each with a clear next step.
• Ownership shares edited in the stakeholder drawer apply instantly and consistently.
• Group structure views show the full ownership hierarchy.
• Your place in paginated tables carries over as you move between pages and views, questionnaire rows stay where you left them, and long dropdown lists scroll the way you'd expect.
PEP and sanctions screening continues to get faster and more precise with every release.
Custom fonts, cleaner company data, and a more polished dashboard
This release is about the details that make Bits feel like yours — your typefaces in every flow, richer company data behind every profile, and a dashboard that stays out of your way.
Make it yours
• Custom font uploads in the theme editor now go through smoothly end to end — .ttf, .otf, .woff and .woff2 — with clear feedback while each file processes, so your flows always render in your brand's typeface.
• Even the rarely-seen corners got some love: a branded not-found page now guides you straight back to your applications and entities.
Richer company data
• Italian company profiles now carry complete registration-authority details — including combined chambers of commerce such as Milano Monza Brianza Lodi — for sharper matching and cleaner records.
Entity editing that keeps up
• Ownership details on stakeholders — shares and ownership intervals — apply exactly as entered, with clear confirmation once saved.
• Tax identification numbers on organization registrations save consistently, every time.
• Each entity's documents tab shows precisely the files that belong to it, so stakeholder documents stay with the stakeholder.
Dashboard polish
• Interactions across the dashboard are crisper: date pickers, dialogs opening above drawers, and long dropdown lists all behave exactly as you'd expect.
More flexible bank onboarding and richer entity records
Focus: giving you more control over how end-users share bank details, and clearer entity data in the dashboard.
This release adds new configuration options to the bank account step of your onboarding flows and makes entity records in the dashboard richer and easier to manage.
Bank account onboarding, your way
• The bank connection (AIS) step now lets you choose whether end-users provide an IBAN or a BBAN when manual input is enabled — the same flexibility you already have in the manual bank account step.
• You can also enable document upload on the AIS step, so end-users can attach a bank statement or other supporting documentation as part of account verification.
Richer entity records
• Address validity dates now appear directly on the entity Addresses card, and you can edit when an address is valid from and to — a clean, auditable view of every entity's address history.
Always improving
• Identity verification with BankID continues to get faster and more resilient with every release.
Latvia lands, sharper screening, and a tidier dashboard
Focus: expanding market coverage and hardening the data you rely on every day.
The past two weeks brought a brand-new market, a batch of screening and risk improvements, and plenty of polish across documents, banking data, and the dashboard.
New market: Latvia
You can now create and onboard Latvian entities directly from the dashboard.
Latvia ships with its own dedicated risk tree and full support for local legal forms and registry data, so risk scoring works out of the box.
Screening & risk
Screening matches are now paginated, so entities with many hits load quickly and stay browsable.
Improved trading name handling and risk identifier parsing in screening, delivering fewer false positives and more trustworthy matches.
Risk scores now automatically re-score dependent entities when a related entity changes, so connected companies always stay in sync.
Updated the FATF grey list used in risk scoring to the latest revision.
Risk recalculation now runs when you trigger an analysis rather than on every draft save, so scores stay stable while you're still editing.
Risk assessment timestamps and entity-to-application relations now reflect changes with greater precision.
Entity data, documents & bank accounts
Document downloads are now more resilient, with smoother handling of linked documents in the entity documents view.
The documents list now shows which agent uploaded each file in the source column.
Entity data edits, like clearing a date of birth, now apply instantly and consistently.
Finnish legal forms are now fully supported on entities.
Bank accounts got smarter: duplicate IBAN submissions are now prevented in manual entry, account country is derived automatically from the IBAN, and matching accounts are consolidated correctly.
Dashboard & API polish
Toasts can now be dismissed with a click, and their update animation is smoother.
Cleaned up the entity list view, refreshed dialog UIs, and improved the entity log.
API docs: the Authorize button works seamlessly, and the screening matches endpoint now has a concrete, published schema.
The SDK now surfaces downstream error details for easier debugging, and deprecated document endpoints have been retired.
Smarter bank accounts, a tidier entity workspace, and more reliable screening
Focus: less manual data entry, and compliance data you can trust.
This release takes the busywork out of managing bank accounts, cleans up the entity workspace, and makes our PEP and sanctions screening more dependable.
Bank accounts that fill in the blanks
• Add or create a bank account and we'll now work out the country automatically from the IBAN — including when a manually entered country code doesn't match what the IBAN says.
• The manual "Add bank account" form now mirrors our AIS flow, so adding an account by hand feels the same wherever you do it.
• Tighter controls around editing existing bank accounts help prevent accidental changes.
• Behind the scenes, we hardened how bank account details are parsed so they load reliably across the app.
A tidier entity workspace
• Documents now link directly to entities and show up in the entity's document list, so everything for an entity lives in one place.
• We cleaned up the entity list view for a clearer, less cluttered overview.
More reliable screening
• We moved screening onto a new, more robust service behind the scenes — the upshot is more reliable PEP and sanctions screening.
• Screening matches are now paginated, making long match lists much easier to review.
• Legal background checks (Acta Publica) now work correctly for organization entities.
A bit of polish
• Refreshed toast notification animations for a smoother feel.
• Updated the in-app support chat design.
Smarter Screening & Verification Fixes
Focus: More accurate AML screening and a smoother verification experience.
This release completes the migration of PEP and sanctions screening to our dedicated Screening service for more accurate, consistent results, and irons out several identity-verification and workflow issues.
More Accurate PEP & Sanctions Screening

- Resolved a case where the BankID poller timed out at 180s while a transaction was still pending, so valid sessions are no longer cut short.
Workflow & Dashboard Improvements
- You can now handle multiple questionnaires per application, including multiple answers to the same step, with full frontend support.
- Fixed risk draft scores going stale when a configuration edit raced the config cache, so scores now reflect your latest model changes.
