The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) has launched the GLEIF Partners Program, a new global initiative fostering increased collaboration among stakeholders to accelerate the adoption of the LEI and verifiable LEI (vLEI).
According to the firm, GLEIF’s Partners Program creates a forum for data and technology vendors, financial institutions, and corporates, to develop offerings by using the technology of the LEI and vLEI.
The programme aims to provide product listings, global visibility, and strategic engagement where users can access market insights, regulatory updates, and industry best practices.
Alexandre Kech, CEO at GLEIF, comments: “Building a more open and transparent global marketplace is dependent on interoperable, verifiable organisational identity. The LEI and vLEI provide significant opportunities to enhance transparency and build greater trust across global markets.
“By convening organisations from across the world with a shared mission of improving digital trust and maximising the utility of the (v)LEI, the programme promises to enable invaluable exchanges that will advance secure and transparent business interactions — promoting sustainable growth across the global digital economy.”
Guillermo De la Fuente, SwissTreasurer, and co-chair of GLEIF’s Partners Program, says the launch of this programme is “essential in bridging the digital identity gap for legal entities around the world”.
He adds: “This initiative goes beyond promoting the LEI and vLEI — it is about building a community of practitioners who understand their practical value. From streamlining client onboarding to expanding access to trusted identity credentials globally, GLEIF Partners are delivering real-world benefits.”
Global organisations that have recently joined the GLEIF Partners Program include JacobsenID, a Nordic identity assurance service provider interested in enabling vLEI use cases; Montran, a provider of payment and capital market infrastructure solutions operating in over 90 countries; and NETS Solutions, a specialist in payment and securities settlement solutions for central banks.
NETS Solutions, part of the Singapore-based payment services NETS Group, extends GLEIF’s focus and engagement in the APAC region, GLEIF says.
The new programme also integrates members from previous GLEIF stakeholder groups to foster greater collaboration between longstanding stakeholders and new partners.
Matthieu de Heering, global head of business development, capital markets at Montran, says: “Montran is honoured to be among the inaugural members of the GLEIF Partners Program. Since the inception of the legal entity identifier as an international standard, we have integrated it into our solutions for payments and capital markets, supporting many of our clients in its implementation.
“We look forward to expanding our collaboration with GLEIF across various instruments and transaction types, learning from other partners' best practices, and sharing our own — in a true spirit of cooperation.”
