- Further the organization’s "on-the-ground" engagement and collaboration with U.S. financial institutions to educate on the value LEI delivers beyond regulated use in capital markets
- Champion and support pilot programs for financial institutions wishing to use the LEI more broadly across all financial services business lines, such as trade financing, corporate banking, and payments
