LEI Lookup

What LEI Lookup does

LEI Lookup, operated by the LEI Register group (founded 2017, headquartered at Uus tn 21-2, 10111 Tallinn, Estonia), provides search, registration, renewal, and transfer services for Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) under the ISO 17442 standard. The platform indexes 3.3M+ records from the Global LEI Index and acts as an official Registration Agent partnering with three GLEIF-accredited Local Operating Units: Ubisecure Oy (Ubisecure RapidLEI), Nasdaq CSD SE (Nasdaq LEI), and WM Datenservice. The consumer-facing LEI Lookup web platform enables self-serve LEI issuance typically within 1-24 hours (with a 3-hour Fast-track option), while the LEIAdmin PRO platform serves partners and enterprises managing dozens to thousands of LEIs through a dashboard, Excel bulk upload, and a dual-API ecosystem (LEI Lookup API for verification; LEI Registration API for embedded one-click registration). Group entities in Estonia (LEI Register OU), Denmark (LEI Kode ApS), and India (LEI Register India Private Limited) provide localized operations across EU and Asia-Pacific.

The revenue model is subscription-based: LEI registrations and renewals are priced at $55-$75/year depending on commitment length (1-year $75, 3-year $65, 5-year $55), inclusive of the ~$11 GLEIF fee. Add-on revenue streams include parental data validation ($5/year), fund data validation ($5/year), Standard and Complete service tiers ($21 and $55 add-ons), LEI Certificates and Tags ($5/year, plus $21 for hardcopy), and Fast-track issuance. Automated annual renewal with a 60-day pre-expiry payment deduction drives recurring revenue, while free LEI transfers reduce churn friction. The go-to-market combines four motions: self-serve PLG for individual registrations, API-first distribution for embedded partner platforms, enterprise field sales via LEIAdmin (led by the Head of LEIAdmin) targeting banks and asset managers, and channel partners including the three LOU relationships and reseller-managed LEI portfolios.

Customer segments are anchored in regulated financial use cases: financial institutions, EU investment firms (MiFID II/MiFIR "no LEI, no trade"), US government financial agencies (OFR mandate), and US RTOs/ISOs (FERC), with secondary interest in entities preparing for the proposed US Financial Transparency Act. Documented customers include LHV, Signet Bank, DNB Asset Management, Call+, and trust-logo brands LVMH, Virgin, BAE Systems, and Santander. AI-based document processing accelerates application review (with human-review fallback), and the platform markets 57% faster API verification, 90% streamlined embedded registration, 81% Watchlist efficiency, and 76% faster bulk submission.
