Frequently Asked Questions

The primary usage of LEI identifiers is for banks’ regulatory reporting of clients' securities- and derivatives transactions to financial supervisory authorities. The reporting is a legal consequence of the introduction of two financial EU regulations, the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and the Markets in Financial Instruments Direct II (MiFID II/MiFIR).

Most often, our clients are encouraged by their bank to apply for an LEI, as this is a prerequisite for banks to fulfil the regulatory reporting obligation of applicable transactions in financial instruments that their clients have entered into.
