Frequently Asked Questions

What is an LEI? A Legal Entity Identifier is a 20-character global code that uniquely identifies a legally distinct entity that takes part in financial transactions. It is the standard reference used in KYB and regulatory reporting worldwide.

Can I search by company name? Yes. Add one or more legal names and each runs its own search, returning every matching entity with its LEI and full reference data. Partial names work too.

Does it return parent companies? Yes. Where an entity reports them, each record includes its direct parent LEI and ultimate parent LEI, so you can follow ownership chains.

How fresh is the data? Reference data is read live at run time, so each record reflects the latest published values (see observedAt).
