What s an LEI?

A Legal Entity Identifier, also known as an LEI, uniquely identifies your business. It's required by law for businesses trading stocks and ETFs in Europe. It is not required to trade MMFs. If you’ve already registered an LEI — we’ll find it for you during onboarding, all you need to do is confirm the details. If you don’t yet have an LEI, you can generate one within the Lightyear app.

How much does it cost?

When purchasing an LEI through Lightyear, we charge cost price of 42.5 GBP + VAT for UK businesses.
