LEI Issuance Services

Streamlined Issuance of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI)

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a global identification code required by businesses engaging in financial transactions or regulatory reporting. We offer comprehensive LEI issuance services to ensure your organization can quickly obtain an LEI and comply with international financial regulations.

What is an LEI?

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies legal entities participating in financial markets worldwide. The LEI system is overseen by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) and is required by businesses involved in financial transactions such as trading securities, bonds, derivatives, and reporting for regulatory compliance.

Who Needs an LEI?

An LEI is mandatory for:

• Corporations and private companies engaged in financial transactions
• Banks and financial institutions
• Investment vehicles (funds, trusts, foundations)
• Government entities
• Subsidiaries of multinational companies
• Non-profit organizations involved in cross-border financial activities

Our LEI Issuance Services

We simplify the process of obtaining an LEI, allowing your business to focus on its core activities while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Our LEI issuance services include:

1. LEI Application

   • Assist in gathering the required business information (e.g., company name, address, registration number).
   • Submit your application to the relevant Local Operating Unit (LOU) for LEI issuance.
   • Provide updates on the status of your application and ensure timely issuance of your LEI.

2. LEI Renewal
   LEIs must be renewed annually to remain valid. We offer automatic renewal services to ensure your LEI stays active, preventing any disruptions to your business activities.

3. LEI Transfer
   If your LEI is managed by another LOU and you wish to transfer it for more convenient management, we facilitate a smooth transfer of your LEI to a preferred provider.
