LEI Management Solution for Banks

Legal Entity Identifier Platform

LEI Worldwide are pleased to present RAMP 2.0 an LEI management platform designed to allow Financial Institutions easily manage LEIs at scale. RAMP allows you to improve your KYC processes, issue and manage clients LEIs while centralising your LEI portfolio and cutting costs by replacing outdated methods.

The Legal Entity Identifier has simplified the process of identifying trade counterparties on a global scale. By using the LEI as a common identifier for all financial entities the processes of KYC, customer onboarding, AML checks and regulatory reporting have become more streamlined and efficient. 

In a recent study conducted by McKinsey it was reported that by adopting the Legal Entity Identifier as step in KYC processes it could save the global banking industry between 2-4 billion USD annually.

LEIs help businesses, financial institutions and policymakers to more easily link data sets, improving analysis and supporting better risk assessment. Being able to more easily build a complete picture of a business, by linking its data, could also help small businesses to access finance. We want to extend the mandatory use of LEIs to a wider range of transactions in the future. We will champion the LEI as a globally recognised and unique identifier for all businesses in the UK.

Legal Entity Identifiers in Brazil

here are currently 2,293 Legal Entity Identifiers registered in Brazil. This accounts for just 0.1% of all LEIs globally which is a small number considering Brazil who according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has the 9th largest (GDP) economy in the world, just larger than Canada where there is 34,600 LEI codes registered.

This data suggests that the LEI is not yet heavily regulated in Brazil. The Federal Revenue of Brazil (FRB) request the LEI for the Corporate Taxpayers Registry. To see a list of LEI mandates by country please click here.

With the LEI quickly being adopted as the leading business identifier globally, the number of LEIs in Brazil is expected to rise quickly. Currently, most companies in Brazil use the identifier allocated to them by the National Companies Registry (Junta Comercial), and there are around 28,500,000 companies registered in Brazil.

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20 digit code that is unique to a legal entity and provides basic information about the entity such as name, address and entity type e.g Limited Company. A mass adoption to the LEI in Brazil could bring much transparency to Brazils vast economy and industrial sector.

We explore the LEI concept further in our recent post What is the Legal Entity Identifier?

Who needs an LEI in Brazil?

In Brazil, the tax authorities (Federal Revenue of Brazil) request the LEI from certain legal entities. The final beneficiary of applications to the Brazilain corporate taxpayer registry (CNPJ) is to supply a Legal Entity Identifier code. The final beneficiary is the person who has significant or legal control of the legal entity/company e.g Director, CEO.

LEI codes are also required for legal entities that fall into the following classifications. Entities that:
  • Trade derivatives (except private individuals)
  • Issue equity, debt and all entities listed on an exchange
  • Trade equity or debt (except for private individuals)
  • Are supervised by a financial regulator and their affiliates, subsidiaries and holding companies
  • Trade with the EU, UK & US
If you are engaged in international activity it is a good idea to have an LEI before you need one as it is quickly being adopted as a global standard and there are already nearly 1.6 Million LEIs registered in the world. If you are in financial services you will be required to legally register your entity for an LEI in order to fulfil your reporting obligations. To find out if you fall into this category and require an LEI please see our post discussing Who Needs an LEI?

How to get a Legal Entity Identifier​ in Brazil

Obtaining a Legal Entity Identifier code is a simple process. The LEI application form only takes a few minutes and any representative of the company may apply on behalf of the entity.

Step 1: Click on the ‘Register New LEI’ button here or visit the homepage of this website. To begin, fill out your contact details as the applicant. This information will be used to contact you in case any additional information is required.

 
Step 2: Next, begin filling out the details of the entity which requires an LEI.
 
This will include information such as the address, name of Director or person legally responsible for the entity such as CEO, or Owner.
 

 

Step 3: The next section ‘Level 2 Data’ gives you the opportunity to report parent company information.

​For example, if your company is a branch of a larger organisation, or is owned by another company you may have that information appear on the LEI record. However, this is not a legal obligation. If you wish to report a legal parent company, please note that you will be requested to provide evidence of this relationship by way of Consolidated Accounts (i.e an annual report).

You may only report parent information if the parent company consolidates the accounts and the subsidiary is listed there.

 

Step 4: The final section allows you to upload documentation relevant to your application.

When an LEI application is submitted, the data is cross matched with what is on the relevant local companies registry.

​If however the company cannot be found, or the data does not match the registry, we may request that you provide supporting documentation. Some good examples include a document from ASIC, a Certificate of Incumbency, Register of Directors, or a registry extract.

A registered company in Brazil for example may with to provide their ASIC registry form as it confirms important company information.

Once the application is submitted, simply choose your preferred payment method and complete the application. LEI Worldwide use our payments provider STRIPE and PayPal. We also offer the ability to complete a bank transfer or swift payment in any currency including Dollars and Brazilian Reals.

​A member of the LEI Worldwide team will review the submission upon completion and you will receive your LEI code within a few hours.
