Issue vLEI credentials under your own brand. Without building the infrastructure.
If you are a Legal Entity Identifier issuer or an organization looking to become a Qualified vLEI Issuer, Veridian licenses its QVI Suite infrastructure so you can deliver vLEI services to your existing clients, at the pace your market demands, without the years of build time.
A global market for verifiable business identity is forming, and LOUs are the natural distributors.
There are over 3.2 million registered LEI customers. The organizations that hold LEIs already have a trusted relationship with an LEI Operating Unit. That relationship is the moment vLEI credentials are introduced, and most LOUs are not yet equipped to use it.
Veridian wants to change that. By licensing our QVI Suite platform and leveraging our GLEIF accreditation, you can begin issuing vLEI credentials to your existing client base without acquiring GLEIF accreditation from scratch or building the underlying identity infrastructure yourself.
Legal entities globally holding an LEI; all potential vLEI customers, already in existing LEI client books
GLEIF-accredited LEI issuers (LOUs) globally; each with established trusted relationships and base that needs upgrading
Credential types per organization; each renewal and recurring revenue opportunity
The vLEI upgrade cycle has already begun
Financial regulators and enterprise blockchain platforms are beginning to require vLEI credentials for participation. LOUs that can offer the upgrade path will retain and deepen client relationships. Those that cannot will lose them to QVIs that can.
EIDAS 2.0 opens the European market
The European EIDAS 2.0 framework is evolving to require business identity wallets. Half of EU business comes from outside the EU, national eIDs do not cross borders. The vLEI is the only global business identity standard that does. European corporate service providers and trust service providers that position now will have a first mover advantage in a mandated market.
A native KERI and ACDC mobile wallet
Veridian's mobile wallet is available today on iOS and Android, purpose-built for the KERI and ACDC ecosystem. Your clients can hold, present, and manage vLEI credentials directly from their phones, with no specialist software or technical setup required. For LOUs and QVIs, this is the last mile solved.
Three types of organizations that should be talking to Veridian today.
The QVI licensing model is designed for organizations that already have the client relationships and the regulatory credibility and need the infrastructure to match.
Existing LEI issuers looking to offer vLEI services
You have the client relationships. You have the GLEIF-accredited issuer standing. You have the compliance infrastructure. What you don't have is a production-ready vLEI issuance platform or the deep KERI/ACDC expertise to build one. Under your brand, Veridian provides both.
- • Existing customer base already paying you for LEI services and upgrade paths
- • Competing QVIs entering your market
- • Regulatory pressure to offer digital credentials
- • Platform requirements locking out your clients
Organizations seeking QVI accreditation for their own client base
Company secretarial firms, corporate trust providers, and financial institutions that manage legal entity relationships at scale are natural QVIs. If you administer LEIs, filings, or KYC for a portfolio of organizations, you have exactly the client base that needs vLEI credentials and exactly the trusted position to issue them.
- • Managing LEI portfolios for corporate clients
- • Offering compliance-adjacent services
- • Seeking new revenue from existing relationships
- • Entering regulated digital identity solutions
Technology companies building vLEI compliance into their products
Regtech platforms, compliance engines, and enterprise SaaS companies that serve regulated financial and corporate markets need vLEI verification and issuance as a feature, not as a separate product. Veridian provides the infrastructure layer so you can offer it as part of your existing product to deliver the credential issuance side and the on-chain verification side. That combination does not exist anywhere else in the market.
- • Building compliance products for financial markets
- • Integrating vLEI with Blockchain solutions
- • Adding verified identity to existing SaaS workflows
- • Responding to client demand for vLEI support
The only production-ready vLEI issuance platform available for licensing today.
The Veridian QVI Suite (VQS) is a purpose-built vLEI issuance platform engineered to GLEIF's QVI technical and operational standards, deployed today as part of Veridian's path to becoming Switzerland's first QVI. It handles the full credential lifecycle, onboarding, key management, issuance, revocation, and renewal, in a system designed for multi-tenant, white-label deployment.
White-label deployment
Full branding control. Your clients see your name, your interface, and your client portal. Veridian infrastructure powers it invisibly underneath.
KERI key infrastructure built in
VQS handles KERIA (KERI Agent) hosting, witness network operations, and key rotation management. No KERI expertise is required to operate it.
Full credential lifecycle management
Issue, renew, update, and revoke vLEI, OOR, and ECR credentials from a single dashboard. Automated renewal workflows reduce manual overhead.
API-first for platform integration
Full REST API means VQS functions can be embedded into your existing product or compliance workflow, no separate interface is required.
GLEIF accreditation from scratch takes years. With Veridian, it takes months.
GLEIF accreditation for a new QVI is a rigorous process, legal, technical, operational, and governance requirements must all be satisfied before credentials can be issued. Veridian has already done it. The fast-track path means your organization benefits from our accreditation standing while you progress through the process at your pace.
Operate under Veridian accreditation
From day one, you can issue vLEI credentials to your clients under Veridian's existing QVI Suite. Your clients get live credentials. Your revenue starts immediately.
Begin GLEIF accreditation process
In parallel, Veridian supports your organization through the GLEIF accreditation process, governance documentation, technical requirements, legal framework, and GLEIF audit preparation.
Achieve independent QVI status
Once accredited, your organization becomes an independent Qualified vLEI Issuer, listed on the GLEIF QVI registry, able to issue credentials in your own right. VQS transitions to a pure licensing arrangement.
White-label a native mobile wallet, no development required
While competitors rely on browser-based or generic wallet solutions, Veridian offers a fully white-labeled mobile app, native to KERI and ACDC, available on iOS and Android. Your clients interact with vLEI credentials under your brand, without you writing a single line of code.
Three ways to access the VQS platform.

From first conversation to live issuance in six steps.
Every licensing engagement starts with a conversation about your client base, your timeline, and what you want to achieve. From there, the path is structured, but it moves at your pace.
Discovery conversation
Understand your client base, existing GLEIF or LOU standing, technical infrastructure, and commercial objectives. No commitment required. This is a scoping conversation.
Commercial proposal
Veridian presents the SDK Verification API or triggers the SDK widget at the right moment, accord creation, content access, purchase flow, or session start. The required threshold required - 13, 15, 18, 21, or a custom value.
Agreement & onboarding
Once terms are agreed, we execute the partnership agreement, which includes a logo display review and co-marketing terms, and begin the technical onboarding process.
Platform configuration
VQS is configured for your organization, white-label branding applied, API credentials issued, client portal set up, and test credentials generated for your team to review.
First client onboarded
You onboard your first client. Veridian provides technical support throughout the first issuance cycle. Your team builds familiarity with the process.
Scale & accreditation path
You begin scaling client volume. Veridian supports your independent GLEIF accreditation process in parallel. You build towards full QVI status while generating revenue from day one.
The only infrastructure partner that gives you all four things at once.
Building a QVI capability from scratch requires accreditation, technical infrastructure, standards expertise, and market access. Veridian can provide all four on day one.
Accreditation pipeline you can plug into
Veridian is on track to become Switzerland's first GLEIF-accredited Qualified vLEI Issuer. Licensing partners onboarded today are positioned to issue live credentials from the moment our listing goes active — operating under our accreditation while pursuing their own.
The only production-ready VQS platform available for licensing
Every other QVI tooling option is either proprietary, not available for licensing, or not yet in production. VQS is deployed, engineered to GLEIF's QVI standards, and battle-tested — built as the platform for Switzerland's first QVI. You are not getting a roadmap; you are getting a running system on day one. Competitors are building what Veridian has already built.
Standards authorship, not just standards compliance
Veridian's technical team contributes directly to the IETF specifications for KERI. We are active members of the vLEI Governance Committee. We do not just implement the standard, we help write it. For licensing partners navigating accreditation processes, this means your infrastructure partner has the deepest possible standards credibility and can represent your technical position in any GLEIF conversation.
Blockchain-native experience no other QVI has
Veridian is the only QVI-track operator with live integration experience across enterprise blockchain platforms, Chainlink and Cardano Network specifically. For licensing partners whose clients operate in these networks, this means your infrastructure provider understands both sides of the identity problem: the credential issuance side and the on-chain verification side. That combination does not exist anywhere else in the market.
Your clients need vLEI credentials. You already have the relationship. We have the infrastructure.
One conversation is all it takes to understand whether a licensing arrangement with Veridian makes commercial sense for your organization. There is no commitment attached to a discovery call; just a clear picture of the opportunity and how we work.
