LEI Transfer in Singapore

Simple. Secure. Seamless.

Quick answer

LEI Transfer in Singapore lets you move an existing LEI from another GLEIF-accredited LOU to TNV-LEI without changing its 20-character code. The transfer is free, only the managing LOU changes. During the transfer the LEI sits in Pending Transfer status, so Singapore reporting to DTCC Data Repository (Singapore) Pte Ltd (the prescribed MAS-licensed TR) continues without interruption.

Transferring Your LEI

If your Singapore entity already holds an LEI with another LOU, you can move its management to TNV-LEI at no cost. The ISO 17442 code is permanent — only the managing LOU changes.

Reporting never stops

GLEIF moves a transferring LEI to Pending Transfer status, which DTCC Data Repository (Singapore) Pte Ltd, the prescribed MAS-licensed TR, accepts for Singapore reporting. Your submissions under the MAS Securities and Futures (Reporting of Derivative Contracts) Regulations are not interrupted.

How the transfer works

Provide the existing LEI code and current LOU.
Sign a short Letter of Authorisation.
TNV-LEI initiates the transfer with GLEIF and the prior LOU — typically completing within 1–7 GLEIF business days.

Why Switch Your LEI Provider?

A change of LEI provider does not require a new LEI number. An entity can move the management of its existing identifier from one GLEIF-accredited LOU to another while continuing to use the same global LEI.

Why move to TNV-LEI

UK time-zone support with overlap into EU and APAC trading hours, ICSI Fellow compliance review of every issuance, SOC 2 Type II independent attestation conducted by Ken & Co. (USA), and the binding Fast-Track service-level qualifier.
