How Are the GEI Service Fees Used?
To maintain the high data quality required by the global LEI standards, the information recorded for
each GEI is reviewed once a year. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the information
provided is current and accurate. Upon successful completion of this review, each GEI is published at
https://www.geiportal.org as a public good for another year and can be accessed free of charge.
The purpose of the charge for the global LEI system is to create and fund a central LEI institution and
database. On behalf of global regulatory agencies, this fee is used to establish and monitor the global
LEI system.
