Two New Players in the vLEI Game!

Get ready for a revolution in digital identity verification! The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) has just certified two major companies as official issuers of its cutting-edge verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI): Hong Kong's own Certizen Technology and Thailand's trailblazing Finema.

Empowering Secure Verification Across Borders!

As qualified vLEI issuers, Certizen and Finema are set to transform how organizations verify their identities securely and automatically. This leap forward not only boosts confidence in transactions but also enhances global interoperability—essential for today's interconnected economy.

Certizen Technology: Bridging Gaps in the Greater Bay Area!

Certizen Technology, a proud affiliate of Certizen Limited, aims to leverage the vLEI for seamless regional integration, particularly within the bustling Greater Bay Area, encompassing Hong Kong, Macao, and major Chinese cities. The innovative solution has already made waves in diverse sectors such as education, healthcare, blockchain, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.

Finema: Empowering SMEs with Financial Credentials!

Meanwhile, Finema is breaking new ground as the first Southeast Asia-based Qualified vLEI Issuer. Their mission? To empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by allowing them to present their financial credentials securely, thus unlocking access to international finance and trade opportunities. This move could be a game-changer in boosting the regional economy!

Revolutionizing Identity Verification Since 2020!

Introduced in 2020, vLEI is a digital twist on the 20-digit LEI code, designed for automated identity verification across all industry sectors worldwide. GLEIF’s vLEI has garnered attention from global entities, and its standards have recently been recognized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Decentralization for Your Personal Data!

What’s more intriguing? The vLEI relies on decentralized technologies, empowering individuals with control over their personal data through self-sovereign identity (SSI) systems.

GLEIF’s Expanding Global Footprint!

With a strategic expansion into cities like Mumbai, Tokyo, and Singapore, GLEIF is on a mission to make secure identity verification accessible around the globe. Their recent collaboration with the UK’s Companies House aims to enhance the visibility of British businesses, signaling an exciting era of innovation in the field!

Stay Tuned!

As GLEIF continues to expand its horizons, the future looks bright for secure digital identities in international business!
