What’s the LEI code and what’s it for?

The LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) is an international 20-character code that is required for companies performing transactions with financial instruments. It ensures supervision of the global financial system and market transparency. The code needs to be applied for and it is issued by certified companies.

The LEI is not needed if you purchase units in Robur or other non-exchange traded investment funds. In all other transactions with financial instruments it will be required.

Choose one of the certified organizations that assign the LEI codes.
On the website of the selected organization, you’ll need to submit and confirm the required details about your company.

Normally, it takes up to five business days.

There’s a registration and annual subscription fee for the LEI code. For this reason, when choosing the LEI code issuer, we recommend considering the organization’s LEI code issuance process and the expected expenses.

The bank automatically gets information about companies included in the LEI code register once every working day. No additional notification is required.

For questions regarding financial instrument transactions, please use your preferred mode of communication:
