ISIN → LEI
Find the issuer of a security
Enter a 12-character ISIN, such as US0378331005. It resolves to the LEI record of the entity that issued the security, using GLEIF’s ISIN-to-LEI relationship file.
Anatomy of an LEI
The code is opaque, but structured: the first four characters name the issuing organisation, the middle identifies the entity, the last two verify the whole thing.
