LEI Verification API
Verify a Legal Entity Identifier and retrieve the registered entity's details, required for large-value corporate transactions.
What the LEI Verification API does
LEI Verification validates a Legal Entity Identifier code and returns the registered details of the entity behind it.
The Reserve Bank of India requires an LEI for large-value transactions by non-individual entities. Verifying it at onboarding avoids discovering a missing or lapsed identifier at the moment a payment needs to move.
Where teams use the LEI Verification API
Verifying corporate counterparties before large-value transactions
Meeting RBI LEI requirements in payment flows
Confirming entity details in cross-border trade
Screening corporate clients during onboarding
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which entities need an LEI?
Non-individual entities conducting large-value transactions, under thresholds set by the RBI. Requirements have widened over time, so check the current position.
Do LEIs expire?
They require annual renewal. A lapsed LEI can block transactions, so status matters as much as existence.
Is an LEI the same as a CIN?
No. A CIN is the Indian company registry identifier; an LEI is a global identifier used for financial transactions.
