# LEI Addressing Workstream

This workstream is focused on supporting domestic and cross-border merchant transactions through the adoption of the international LEI identifier. This workstream is a collaboration between the Mojaloop Foundation and GLEIF, and is intended to culminate in a pilot, in cooperation with a Mojaloop adopter.

# Business Justification

Collaboration with GLEIF has strategic advantages for the Mojaloop Foundation, since GLEIF has the backing of the financial sector's "establishment" - the FSB and the G20.

It also helps our credibility in cross-border merchant payments, and complements our work in ISO 20022 by helping introduce LEIs into the Mojaloop ecosystem.

# Latest Update (Summary)

The LEI Addressing workstream has refined its tiered identity assurance model and is preparing to move from technical development into broader validation. The next phase centres on engagement with the Go-to-Market team through a series of review sessions intended to assess the operational applicability of the approach and refine the model before further implementation work proceeds.
