Batch LEI Validation: Automating Compliance Spreadsheet Reviews from Hours to Minutes

Batch LEI Validation: Automating Compliance Spreadsheet Reviews from Hours to Minutes

Original: Stop Validating LEI Codes One by One — There's a Better Way

Short summary

Banking compliance and KYC teams waste 7+ hours validating 200 LEI codes through manual one-by-one portal lookups, introducing copy-paste errors and breaking audit trails. FindLEI automates this workflow by batching validation against the authoritative GLEIF API, enriching Excel/Calc spreadsheets with entity status and renewal dates directly. The open-source tool (GPLv3) handles rate-limiting for large datasets and requires no IT infrastructure setup; available at findlei.com.

  • Manual LEI validation: 7 hours for 200 records; FindLEI batch automation: 7 minutes
  • Eliminates copy-paste errors and audit-trail gaps via official GLEIF API integration
  • Open source (GPLv3); runs standalone without infrastructure changes or IT dependency
