Temenos Regulatory Compliance

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

Temenos LEI Module is a fully automated solution designed to meet the requirements of Risk and Compliance professionals, providing an automated cost-effective process for the management and validation of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI).

Initially mandated for use in Derivatives trade reporting under CFTC rules in the USA and EMIR in EU further mandates such as the ‘no LEI, no trade’ rule under MiFID II has driven global adoption.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has previously stated that global LEI adoption underpins “multiple financial stability objectives” such as improved risk management in firms as well as better assessment of micro and macro-prudential risks. As such, the use of LEI is increasingly mandated for use in international and domestic regulations.

Therefore, it is essential that banks automate the processes supporting maintenance and validation of LEIs across multiple regulatory touch points.
