LEI and vLEI: Digital Identity Trends in United Kingdom

1 Mins Read

The LEI is evolving from a reporting code into a verifiable digital credential — and United Kingdom firms should be watching the vLEI.

From LEI to vLEI

The verifiable LEI (vLEI) wraps the LEI in a cryptographically-verifiable credential that a person or system can present and prove — extending the LEI into digital identity.

Why it matters

As organisational identity goes digital, a verifiable, globally-recognised credential becomes valuable far beyond regulatory reporting.

What United Kingdom firms should do now

Hold a clean, current LEI today — it is the foundation the vLEI builds on.

Key takeaways

• The vLEI turns the LEI into a verifiable credential.

• Organisational identity is going digital.

• A clean LEI is the foundation.

• Act now to be ready.
