Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF)

#AI agents will soon execute financial transactions on behalf of users. Who verifies the delegation of authority behind them? GLEIF has joined the AI Agent x Financial Transactions Working Group launched by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (#MUFG) within the DID/VC Co-Creation Consortium, contributing the verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (#vLEI) perspective on organizational identity.

Alexandre Kech, CEO of GLEIF, is speaking at Finextra's NextGen FinCrime event in London today. #FinancialCrime The panel question: How to scale shared fraud intelligence without sacrificing privacy, security, or trust. Precise entity identification is a big part of it, and that is what the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) provides. nextgenfincrime.com

Potential duplicates account for fewer than 0.2% of records in the Global LEI System. That number matters: every Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) must map to one entity, and one only. #DataQuality GLEIF is now applying AI to its Check for Duplicates facility to hold that line as the system scales. 👉How it works: gleif.org/en/newsroom/bl…

In addition, GLEIF has published the latest monthly reports analyzing the level of #DataQuality achieved by individual #LEI issuers. #GLEIF #OpenData #RiskManagement #Standards

GLEIF has published the latest Global #LEI #DataQuality report assessing #Data quality of the entire LEI data pool. We make available the only global online source providing open, high-quality, & standardized entity reference data. #OpenData #RiskManagement #Standards 🔗gleif.org/en/lei-data/gl…

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (@TheFCA) has written the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) into its final stablecoin rules. #Stablecoins Issuers that hold an LEI must publish it, pulled from the GLEIF Global LEI Index, on their website and in their disclosure document. Takes effect 25 October 2027.

Thailand's SEC (@ThaiSEC_News) has opened a consultation on Travel Rule requirements for digital asset transfers. For legal entities, the draft accepts the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) as an identifier for transfers of THB 30,000 or more. Another supervisor reaching for an identifier that works across borders. Consultation closes 10 July: sec.or.th/EN/Pages/News_…

Hiroshi Nakatake, Managing Director of GLEIF Japan, is speaking at the 46th ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum on 8 July. His session covers the infrastructure behind data free flow with trust and why verifiable credentials matter. For organizations, that is what the verifiable LEI (#vLEI) provides: a way to confirm who is acting, and on whose authority. #DFFT @ADB_HQ @xbrlint @HokkaidoUni asianbondsonline.adb.org/events/

When an #AI agent acts on behalf of a company, who can check which legal entity is actually behind it? The @linuxfoundation's new Agent Name Service will support the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) as one of its identity layers, alongside decentralized identifiers.

Digital trade needs one thing before anything else works: every party identifiable across borders. #GlobalTrade That is what the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) and verifiable LEI (#vLEI) provide. One standard identifier, recognized in every market. GLEIF at @ITFAworldwide Split, 9 to 11 Sept: 2026conference.itfa.org/registration-f…

Identity impersonation and document fraud are long-standing problems in cross-border trade. In a new guest blog, Zetao Yang of AEOTrade explains how the verifiable LEI (#vLEI) anchors trusted identity to electronic bills of lading (#eBL) and connects trade platforms across borders.

Some workflows need Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) data assurance when a record is used. GLEIF is gathering input on ongoing and on-demand LEI validation and on which use cases to prioritize. #DataQuality Share your views: surveymonkey.com/r/KPP6QW6

Tokenized assets move between institutions that have never transacted before. Who verifies the entity on the other side? A new Global Layer One white paper, written with the @IMFNews, @BIS_Org Innovation Hub, @MAS_SG, @JPMorgan, @StanChart, @Chainlink, and GLEIF, makes verifiable identity the starting point. The #vLEI lets an organization assert an identity that a counterparty can computationally verify. Read it: global-layer-one.org/pdf/gl1-pc-whi…

A cross-border payment is only as traceable as the data that travels with it. #PaymentTransparency @FATFNews has opened a consultation on the guidance for Recommendation 16. The graphic shows how payment information moves through the chain and where verifying legal entities matters. R16 already lists the #LEI among the identifiers a payment can carry. We welcome it. Closes 21 August: fatf-gafi.org/en/publication…

"Digital trade does not scale through digitization alone. It only scales when trust, data, and value can move across networks as seamlessly as goods move across borders."
