At Eastnets, we help banks and corporates detect and prevent financial crime while enabling secure, efficient payments and trade. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Eastnets has joined the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) Partners Program.
Today, Eastnets solutions, including Screening and Verification of Payee (VoP), are recognized on the solutions page of the GLEIF Partners Program, supporting the use of trusted legal entity data in financial crime prevention and payment workflows.
GLEIF is the not-for-profit organization behind the Global LEI System—the only global, open, standardized, and regulatory supported source for legal entity reference data.
The GLEIF Partners Program brings together financial institutions and technology providers committed to accelerating the adoption of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) and verifiable LEI (vLEI) across payments, trade, and digital identity ecosystems.
In short, it’s a global community focused on making verified legal entity identity the foundation for a safer, more transparent financial ecosystem—and Eastnets is proud to be part of it.
The LEI is a globally recognized standard for identifying legal entities involved in financial and business transactions.

Deya Innab, Eastnets’ Deputy CEO, comments:
"Trusted, verifiable entity data is becoming foundational across payments, trade, and financial ecosystems. What sets GLEIF apart is its ability to enable digitally verifiable identity that can be used across financial interactions, lowering barriers to participation and expanding access to trusted networks. Our partnership reflects our focus on embedding this into financial workflows to strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and build a more portable foundation of trust."
Joining the GLEIF Partners Program reflects the broader direction of the industry, towards more transparent, data-driven, and interoperable financial ecosystems.
Eastnets will continue to evolve its solutions to support these developments, ensuring customers are well-positioned as adoption of LEI and vLEI in digital identity frameworks accelerates.
