LEI System

The EU is preparing a new digital tool for businesses, the European Business Wallet (EBW). It will eventually let companies prove their identity, sign documents, and deal with authorities digitally, all through one solution. 🇪🇺

The LEI code already plays a key role in this. The good news is you don't have to wait for the EBW. The LEI is already used across several frameworks today, and having one gives your business a head start once the new digital requirements take effect.

The LEI code makes that process easier — for you and for your business partners. 💼

Cross-border payments changed in November 2025. ISO 20022 is now the only standard on the SWIFT network — and every payment now needs structured, verified identity data.

From 2030, FATF requires a verified identifier for every legal entity involved in cross-border payments above 1000 EUR. The LEI code meets that requirement. And getting one takes just a few minutes.

Before doing business with someone, you want to know who you're dealing with. 🤝

Today, that question is increasingly answered not by a person, but by an AI system. And AI systems need accurate, verified business identity data to make reliable decisions.

That's exactly what the LEI code provides. A single global identifier that tells any system precisely who your company is — regardless of country, language, or name variation. 🌍

We wrote about why this matters more than ever in 2026.
