LEI NUMBER (LEGAL ENTITY INDENTIFIER)
An LEI number is your company''s unique 20-character code which you or your counterparty will use to identify your financial transactions in accordance with EMIR and MiFID II reporting requirements. This is a mandatory requirement for all entities trading with IG. If you need to apply for a LEI number, you can visit the following link :

However, while you wait for your LEI number, you can still proceed with the application form.
BOARD RESOLUTION
Your board must hold a meeting and pass certain resolutions to enable your company to open an account with us. We will ask you to certify that this has happened in the certified board resolution section. The board must also authorise people to trade on your company''s account (''Authorised Signatories''). The Authorised Signatories must sign the authorised signatories list.
