Global vLEI
Global vLEI provides a verifiable digital identity system built on the Verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) framework, enabling automated cryptographic verification of legal entities through a hierarchical trust chain anchored by GLEIF. The platform streamlines KYC/AML compliance by replacing manual workflows with instant, 24/7 entity verification, and supports role verification—a capability traditional LEI systems lack. It operates as a Qualified vLEI Issuer within the GLEIF system, building on the same team's track record of issuing over 182,000 LEIs through NordLEI.

Problem
Traditional legal entity identification relies on static LEI records that cannot verify roles, automate workflows, or support real-time verification. Organizations face costly manual compliance processes, increased fraud risk, and operational delays when conducting KYC/AML checks across global markets.
Solution
Global vLEI provides a verifiable digital identity system built on the Verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) framework. The platform enables automated, cryptographic verification of legal entities through authoritative data issued by GLEIF as the root of trust, with Qualified vLEI Issuers (QVIs) validating and issuing organizational credentials. Organizations can delegate authority to individuals, creating a complete chain of verified identity that supports instant, 24/7 entity verification across global markets. This approach streamlines KYC/AML compliance by replacing manual verification workflows with automated, interoperable checks that minimize fraud risk and reduce compliance costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are organizations requiring KYC/AML compliance, including financial institutions, regulated entities, and global enterprises that need verifiable legal entity identity for their operations and supply chain interactions.
