Simple. Secure. Seamless.
Part of the United States LEI knowledge hub — back to the United States pillar.
In the United States, the LEI threads through the reporting frameworks supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — principally CFTC Part 45 and SEC Regulation SBSR — identifying the reporting entity and its counterparties.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversee the frameworks that reference the LEI. The headline regimes are CFTC Part 45 and SEC Regulation SBSR, alongside prudential and statistical returns.
As the reporting-party and counterparty identifier across derivative, transaction and prudential reporting.
Reports are rejected at a CFTC- or SEC-registered swap data repository such as the DTCC Data Repository, and the obligation is unmet until the LEI is reinstated.
Annual renewal and accurate reference data prevent the lapse that causes most reporting failures.
