What is LEI number?
A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a universal identification code that is issued to legal entities to enable the registrar to report securities transactions made on behalf of an entity, as required by European regulations.
Both the Directive 2014/65/EU (MIFID 2), which entered into force on January 3, 2018, and the directly applicable Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No. 600/2014 (MIFIR) require all investment service providers to report on transactions with publicly traded securities. The European Commission’s Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/394 requires securities registrars to identify all legal entities via an LEI code.
