What is an LEI?
An LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) is a unique 20-character code required for companies engaging in financial transactions. This globally recognized identifier helps increase transparency and reduces risk in the financial markets by uniquely identifying legally distinct entities. Obtaining an LEI involves a thorough verification process to ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the information provided by the entity.
