About LEI

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a unique 20-character alphanumeric code designed to identify legally distinct entities participating in financial transactions globally. 

Developed under the ISO 17442 standard, the LEI connects to key reference information, ensuring clear identification and enhancing transparency in financial markets. It is essential for regulatory reporting and risk management, aiding compliance with international financial regulations.

The range of entities requiring LEI codes is broad and includes the following:

  • Entities listed on an exchange
  • Entities that issue equity, debt or other securities for other capital structures
  • Entities that trade stock or debt, investment vehicles constituted as corporate entities or collective investment agreements (including umbrella funds as well as funds under an umbrella structure, hedge funds, private equity funds, etc.)
  • Financial intermediaries
  • Banks and finance companies

Please note you may be asked by your bank to apply for an LEI code.

  • The global LEI system (GLEIS) is part of the international response by regulatory authorities (including G20 and the Financial Stability Board) to the global financial crisis.
  • The LEI is designed to enable the identification and linking of parties to financial transactions in order to facilitate the management of counterparty risk.

An LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) offers several benefits for businesses:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure adherence to international financial regulations.
  • Transparency: Enhance transparency in financial transactions, making it easier to track and verify entities.
  • Risk Management: Improve risk management capabilities by accurately identifying entities in financial dealings.
  • Operational Efficiency: Streamline data management and reporting processes, reducing administrative burdens.
  • Market Credibility: Boost your business’s credibility and trust in the global market.
  • Euronext Dublin is accredited by the Global Legal Entity Foundation (GLEIF) as the Local Operating Unit (LOU) in Ireland.
  • The Regulatory Oversight Committee (ROC) oversees the Global Legal Entity Identifier System (GLEIS). The Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF) was created to act in the public and private interest as the operational arm of the GLEIS.
