About the Legal Entity Identifier

An LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric code associated with a single legal entity in accordance with the ISO 17442 standard. The LEI is a reference data tool to standardize how a counterparty is identified on financial transactions. Its goal is to help improve the measuring and monitoring of systemic risk and support more cost-effective compliance with regulatory reporting requirements. It is an internationally standardized identifier for financial market participants to identify contracting parties such as banks, investment firms and companies to comply with a variety of financial reporting requirements. The LEI has been designed and implemented to assist regulatory authorities in monitoring and analyzing threats to the stability of the financial markets worldwide and will affect most aspects of the securities markets including trading, clearing, settlement, custody, collateral and liquidity management, market data and indices.
