The LEI is evolving from a reporting code into a verifiable digital credential — and American 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 American firms should do now

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

Key takeaways

• The vLEI extends the LEI into verifiable digital identity.

• It will matter beyond regulatory reporting.

• A clean LEI today is the foundation for it.

• Early movers avoid a scramble later.
