Helping realise the GLEIF VA opportunity
- Speed up LEI registration
- Leverage existing KYC, AML and Compliance workflows
- Enhance client satisfaction
- Reduce compliance risk
Synchronous registration of LEIs at scale
LEI registration occurs at the same time as existing KYC and onboarding processes or during a client refresh. The LEI registration and renewal can be automated to occur in parallel with existing workflows, all in real-time, and without the usual duplicative processes.
Eliminate administrative burden
Reduced LEI administration costs, reduced LEI unit costs, and reduced GLEIF fees enable VAs to manage LEIs on behalf of clients, or create new revenue streams from LEIs.
Client data enrichment
Automation and integration into local business registries ensure accurate, up-to-date entity identification information. Use to enrich and correct entity identity information for internal customer due diligence (CDD), and enhanced due diligence (EDD).
Continous KYC
Monitor entity changes, such as updates to ownership, legal form, or jurisdiction. VAs can automate the detection of critical changes that may affect a customer's risk profile, ensuring compliance is maintained over time without the need for frequent manual reviews.
Structured data
Enable accurate, automated identification of legal entities across jurisdictions. By using consistent, machine-readable formats, VAs can streamline client onboarding, enhance due diligence, and reduce manual errors in regulatory reporting.
Org ID augmentation
Add LEIs as attributes to existing customer digital identities consumed from third party Identity Providers (IdP), federated or internal IdP services. Assert organization affiliation in KYC, onboarding and strong authentication use cases.
