“From 1 May 2025, the Bank will mandate the use of LEIs for all payments between financial institutions, as set out since our 2020 policy statement. This requirement applies to payments made via a channel controlled by the DP until our proposed expansion to all channels from November 2027. The Bank continues to encourage the inclusion of LEIs for all CHAPS payments where possible prior to this date.
It remains the Bank’s vision to widen the LEI requirement to all CHAPS payments over time.”

How Banks work with Ubisecure RapidLEI
LEI Everywhere for banking clients
Banks can use LEI Everywhere to achieve the benefits of the GLEIF Validation Agent program during initial onboarding or during a client refresh update:
- Utilize the LEI registration process to augment and improve KYB reference data on clients as they are onboarded.
- Leverage existing KYC, AML and Compliance-as-a-Service workflows to streamline LEI issuance to banking clients.
There is no need to engage with the LEI Issuer in a separate, often time consuming, validation process just for the LEI registration. Client onboarding and LEI issuance become synchronous.
“By simplifying and accelerating the LEI issuance process, the new Framework also paves the way for FIs to expand their usage of the LEI beyond capital markets to encompass all banking business lines, an opportunity anticipated to save the industry U.S.$2-4 billion annually in client onboarding costs alone.”
