Standards in preparation

FISN : Financial Instrument Short Name

FISN Financial Instrument Short Name (ISO 18774)The FISN incorporates the issuer short name and the abbreviated characteristics for

the financial instrument. It has a maximum length of 35 alphanumeric characters

an issuer name with a maximum length of 15 alphanumeric characters To ensure uniformity, the same issuer short name should be used for different financial instruments of the same issuer

a “/” as the delimiter between issuer name and instrument description

The FISN is composed of:

ScopeIt has been developed to provide a consistent and uniform approach to standardize

short descriptions for financial instruments

FISN Standard


an instrument description with a maximum length of 19 alphanumeric characters, assuming that the available length of the issuer name has been fully used. In the event that all the 15 characters have not been used in the issuer short name, the remaining space may be used to describe the characteristics of the financial instrument

The FISN shall be assigned upon issuance of the related financial instrument together with ISIN (ISO 6166) and CFI (ISO 10962)

FISN Standard


Standards in preperation

IGI Issuer & Guarantor Identifier (ISO 16372)

ISO has developed the IGI unambiguous issuing entities identification, in particular with respect to cross-border business activities. The IGI is a standardized code, which is allocated to Issuers & Guarantor entities (branches will not get an IGI)

The IGI consists of 20 characters (preliminary proposal) decomposed as follows:

a prefix which is the alpha-2-country-code specified in ISO 3166, the basic identifier, made of 17 alphanumeric characters, and a check digit, computed using the modulus 10 “Double-Add-Double” formula

IGI Standard


Example DEX0B1C28324356789N0

Where: DE Country code for Germany

X0B1C28324356789N Basic identifier (incl. existing national ID such as tax ID etc.)

0 Check digit computed using modulus 10 “Double-Add Double”

IGI Standard
