What is a LEI Number?
The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) initiative is designed to create a global reference data system that can precisely identify legal entities that participate in financial transactions.
Based on the ISO 17442 standard, Legal Entity Identifier numbers are a 20-digit alphanumeric code that are recognised globally by both financial firms and regulators. Introduced following the financial crisis of 2008, LEIs are designed to improve transparency and reduce risk across financial markets.
Following the implementation of the MiFID 2/MiFIR regulations in January 2018, the importance of legal entities holding a LEI number has further increased.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE
The end-to-end process for applying for an LEI takes between 1 and 3 working days, however the on-line application and payment process takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
During the application process we will provide you with regular updates.
CONTROL & CHECKS
Following your application we will conduct a series of searches against the LEI databases held at the registering authority and the global master LEI list.
Our control checks are designed to identify any data conflicts or duplications.
WHAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED
To register a LEI number some basic information items are required. All of the necessary information to apply for an LEI should be readily available to the owners, employees or trustees of the entity.
Should any information be missing or require clarification, we will contact you before we proceed with your application.
