GLEIFGLEIF 2020 | Meet The Market Event | Amsterdam, The Netherlands

• Date
• 2020-02-04

• Location:
• Amsterdam, Europe

Entity identification today is often fragmented, using proprietary and siloed standards. This hinders the fight against financial crime, causes significant burden to data management, Know Your Customer (KYC), or customer onboarding processes, and hampers transformation to more digital business processes. An economy where legal entity identification is done in a globally consistent, secure and efficient way brings several benefits – all of which can help firms and government agencies better prepare for the digital evolution.

The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) hosted in cooperation with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) a Meet the Market event, “The Value of the LEI for Identification in Digital Business Processes” on Tuesday, 4 February 2020.

At our Meet the Market event attendees were able to engage with representatives of public and private organizations about:

• Benefits of the LEI for treasurers and the payments industry,
• Benefits of the LEI for investors and the securities industry,
• The value of the LEI for the digital supply chain.
  

The event was by invitation only. Interested parties were kindly asked to contact info@gleif.org for registration information.
