GLEIF(グローバルLEI財団)、PSD2(第2次決済サービス指令)のパスポート制度におけるLEI(取引主体識別子)の活用を提案


Default: Change to:


Gerard Hartsink, Chairman of the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), explained what the LEI is, what are its benefits, and how it could be used to exchange information between competent authorities for passporting under Article 28 (5) of the revised PSD2.


The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a public good that provides open and reliable data for unique identification management free of charge to users. It is a 20-digit, alpha-numeric code, connecting to key reference information that enables clear and unique identification of legal entities participating in financial transactions.

In the framework of Article 28 (5) of Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), the European Banking Authority was conferred a mandate to develop draft regulatory technical standards, specifying method, means and details of a cross-border cooperation between competent authorities in the context of passport notifications of payment institutions.

Gerard Hartsink outlines in this European Payments Council (EPC) Blog what could be the role of the LEI in the perspective of PSD2. He also highlights the benefits of the LEI and encourages all firms to get their own LEI.
