What is a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) number? Why it is important?
A Legal Entity Identity (LEI) number is a unique 20-character alphanumeric string (i.e. 529900T8BM49AURSDO55) used to distinctly represent a Legal Entity (company, organisation, firm, government body, trust, fund, etc) on a worldwide basis. Once issued, the LEI number can be used to represent the entity in financial transactions or organisation identity assurance use cases. LEIs are required by all parties participating in regulated transactions and provide a publicly available verifiable source of ‘who is who’ (organisation identity) and ‘who owns whom’ (organisation group structures).

The LEI code is endorsed by the G20 as the most important global identifier. Organisations should have LEIs to be compliant with regulation, enable trust in their identity and assert their legitimacy.

What are the advantages of validated LEIs?
About 1.6 million organisations, trusts and funds now have Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI). The LEI is firmly established as the global code to identify ‘who is who’, and ‘who owns whom’. LEIs are required for many financial regulations such as MifID II, MiFIR, Dodd-Frank Act, EMIR and more. Organisations attempting to trade under these regulations without an LEI Number will be unable to transact, or risk being fined. There are over 100 regulations requiring LEIs, with additional regulations mandating inclusion going live every month.

As LEIs contain valuable, accurate and transparent identity data attributes, the LEI enables high levels of trust in an organization’s legitimacy and identity. Increasing numbers of data providers and credit check organizations utilise LEIs in Know-Your-Customer (KYC) on-boarding and Client Refresh processes.
