GLEIF Validation Agents
For financial institutions, banks, and trust service providers to issue LEIs as part of KYC/AML workflows and to maintain client compliance
The GLEIF Validation Agent (VA) framework reduces non-compliance risk by allowing institutions to embed LEI issuance directly into their client onboarding and KYC processes. This eliminates duplication across KYC, AML, and LEI issuance, while improving data quality and compliance.
- Streamlined LEI issuance within client onboarding and refresh cycles
- Improved data quality across KYC/AML systems
- Enhanced customer experience and efficiency gains
- Recognition as part of the global trust chain in the evolving digital identity ecosystem

RapidLEI Client Agents
Simplified relationship with RapidLEI to deliver LEIs to clients
Client Agents are organisations that support their customers’ LEI requirements, often as part of broader service offerings. Neither Client Agents nor Registration Agents are LEI Issuers. Both partner types access LEI issuance through RapidLEI’s GLEIF-accredited platform.
RapidLEI automates the application and issuance, enabling Client Agents to provide LEIs without heavy administrative investment.
- Bulk order processing and streamlined authority management
- Ability to resell LEI and EnterpriseLEI solutions for banks and enterprises
- API access for application integration
- Competitive discounts, with multi-year LEI options and monthly invoicing

Frequently Asked Questions
RapidLEI Partner Programs
What is the difference between an LEI Issuer and an LEI partner?
Only GLEIF-accredited LEI Issuers such as RapidLEI have the authority to validate, issue, and publish LEIs in the Global LEI Index. LEI partners (Registration Agents, Client Agents, and Validation Agents) work through an accredited Issuer to deliver LEI services to their clients. Partners do not issue LEIs themselves.
Can an organisation become an LEI Issuer by joining a partner program?
No. Joining a RapidLEI partner program does not make an organisation an LEI Issuer. All LEI issuance is performed by RapidLEI as the GLEIF-accredited Issuer. Partners are authorised to resell, manage, and facilitate LEI services on behalf of their clients.
What is the difference between a Registration Agent, a Client Agent, and a Validation Agent?
The three partner tracks serve different organisational needs.
Registration Agents are formally associated with an accredited LEI Issuer and operate within the GLEIF RA Governance Framework. An RA is not an LEI Issuer and cannot issue LEIs independently, all validation and issuance is performed by RapidLEI. RapidLEI works with Registration Agents who offer localised benefits to clients through language and currency support.
Client Agents have a simpler relationship with RapidLEI and suit organisations for whom LEI is a complementary add-on service.
Validation Agents are regulated financial institutions, typically banks, that embed LEI issuance directly into their KYC/AML and client onboarding workflows. Neither RAs, CAs, nor VAs are LEI Issuers.
What does a Registration Agent do when working with an LEI Issuer?
An RA collects the necessary entity information from clients, submits LEI applications through RapidLEI’s platform, manages renewals, and maintains LEI records on the client’s behalf. RapidLEI as the LEI Issuer validates the data and publishes the LEI in the Global LEI Index.
Which partner track is right for my organisation?
If you are a regulated financial institution performing KYC/AML on business clients, the Validation Agent track is likely the best fit. If LEI reselling and client management is a core or significant part of your business, the Registration Agent track offers the most capability and GLEIF recognition. If LEI is a supplementary service alongside broader client work, the Client Agent track offers a simpler entry point. RapidLEI’s partner team can help identify the right fit for your organisation, just get in touch!
Do all partner types appear in the GLEIF directory?
Registration Agents and Validation Agents receive recognition within the Global LEI System and are listed in the GLEIF directory. Client Agents do not require GLEIF recognition but are still listed in the RapidLEI partner directory.
