Identification code of the branch

An overseas branch of the financial entity, uniquely identified by a specific code, for example, FB97521. The financial entity uses the branch's Legal Entity Identifier \(LEI\) or another identification code to distinguish it.

</td><td>

Legal Entity Identifier \(LEI\) of the head office of the financial entity to which the branch belongs, for example, LEIACMEGermany001 or LEIACMEAmericas001.

 When a valid LEI is entered in the Identification code field, the system performs a real-time lookup against the GLEIF \(Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation\) database. The parent entity's LEI then auto-populates this field.

Name of the branch

</td><td>

Name of the branch that is used for identification. When the LEI of the financial entity head office of the branch is entered, this field is auto-filled, for example, Frankfurt branch office.

 When a valid LEI is entered in the Identification code of the branch field, the GLEIF lookup auto-fills this field with the legal name, for example: "SERVICENOW NEDERLAND B.V."

</td></tr><tr><td>

</td><td>

Two-letter country code where the branch is located. When the LEI of the financial entity head office of the branch is entered, this field is auto-filled, for example, Germany.
