vLEI Use Cases and Digital Identity Wallets
The vLEI (verifiable LEI) turns an organisation's identity into a digital credential that can be used automatically, opening up a range of practical use cases.
Key use cases
- Document signing: a vLEI lets you sign contracts and reports with verifiable organisational identity, not just a personal signature.
- Authentication: organisations can securely log in to services and platforms, proving their identity in a machine-readable way.
- Counterparty verification: a vLEI lets you instantly verify a partner's identity without relying on manual checks.
- Digital identity wallets: an organisation (and its authorised representatives) can hold a vLEI in a digital wallet and use it across services.
The link to Web3
In a digital-identity and Web3 context, the vLEI provides a trusted organisational-identity layer — useful both in traditional financial transactions and in emerging decentralised applications.
