🚨 NEW REPORT PUBLISHED 🚨 GDF and the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) Foundation are pleased to publish today a report which puts forth a proposal exploring how the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) can reduce the challenges and costs associated with Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Know-Your-Business (KYB) processes. The joint report examines how leveraging the LEI can address key pain points in due diligence processes, particularly those arising from manual and fragmented client identification methods. We showcase an industry use case featuring Zodia Markets onboarding Deus X Pay using their respective LEI codes, eliminating ambiguity and manual effort while ensuring compliance. Such workflows illustrate the LEI’s value in delivering trusted, structured, and globally recognized client information. The report concludes by setting out out a call to action to support the greater adoption from regulators and industry to utilize on the Global LEI System as a recognized source for client due diligence information. GDF and GLEIF remain committed to working with regulators and industry in order to continuously enhance best practice and standard setting across industry. Regulatory adoption and endorsement of the Global LEI system for KYB could be a critical first step in streamlining these processes to deliver a globally consistent, trusted, instant and reliable client profile.
