A reliable cross-border identification system We uphold a comprehensive record of universal credentials confirmed by accredited issuers assigned to specific territories. Once they've verified the original essential information for an applicant, LEI issuers distribute unique codes within their given regions. These are then logged in the GLEIF data bank to keep an up-to-date chain of traceable credentials. LEIs remain trustworthy regardless of the issuing territory because this root authentication, coupled with an accepted global standardization, reinforces a reliable network of organizational identification across borders. The network underpins LEIs and supports vLEIs – a digital ID secured at the source, permitting software and devices to automatically and cryptographically verify an organization's identity. The value of GLEIF lies in transparency. Our global LEI system empowers people, businesses, and governments to make safer decisions. Such as with whom to buy from, borrow money, or rely on to administer vaccines - or who to do business with. We want the LEI and vLEI identification standard to be accessible for all, so it is entirely affordable, and our data bank is free to access. We want as many markets, individuals, and communities as possible to benefit from trusted universal credentials.
