Easy LEI

Sound familiar?

In times of deposit fees and negative interest rates, capital market trading is becoming increasingly important. For your corporate clients especially, you recommend shifting liquidity to the capital market. But to participate in the capital market you need a valid LEI.

Often, your business clients only find out that they are required to have an LEI during their consultation with you as their bank, financial consultant or investment advisor. A missing or invalid LEI creates unnecessary delays, especially during the process of opening a securities account, and in turn to the financial transactions planned. Incomplete LEI reports to the trade repository can also entail negative consequences for you as a financial institution.

Corporate clients are often left to sweat it out alone when it comes to applying for and managing LEIs. First an issuing agency has to be found, then they have to get to grips with the issuing process and, in the course of the application process, the client has to provide a large amount of company data and proof of existence to the issuing agency. This gives rise to the risk of the securities account potentially not being opened right away, resulting in a bad customer experience as the client will then not be able to act immediately.
