Common SFTR Questions

Quick answers on SFTR regulation and LEI compliance.

What is the SFTR Regulation?

The Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) is an EU law aimed at increasing transparency in the SFT market. It requires market participants to report details of their securities financing transactions to a registered Trade Repository.

Who needs an LEI for SFTR?

All counterparties involved in an SFT must have an LEI. This includes banks, investment firms, insurance companies, funds, and non-financial counterparties (NFCs). Identifying the entity responsible for the report is mandatory.

Which transactions (SFTs) are covered?

The regulation covers four main types of transactions: Repurchase agreements (repos), securities lending and borrowing, buy-sell back / sell-buy back transactions, and margin lending transactions.

What happens if I don't have an LEI?

Without an LEI, you cannot report to a Trade Repository. Under the “No LEI, No Trade” rule enforced by ESMA, counterparties may refuse to trade with you because they cannot fulfill their own reporting obligation without your code.

Does SFTR apply to non-EU firms?

Yes. It applies to non-EU branches of EU firms, and also to third-country entities if the transaction is concluded in the course of operations of an EU branch. The global reach ensures market integrity.
