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.”
