The Value of the LEI in Cross-Border Payments: Enhancing Know Your Consumer (KYC) and Corporate Onboarding

Efficiently accessing the data they need is a core challenge for organizations conducting due diligence and ongoing risk monitoring for corporate customers and suppliers.

One solution is to harmonize national implementations of FATF Recommendation 16.
