international securities identification numbering  

Definition

  • The International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is a 12-character alpha-numerical code that identifies uniquely a security (debt instruments such as bonds; share instruments such as equities and collective investments; options; futures; warrants) on the financial markets. This international norm allows a financial intermediary to identify easily the considered security and its associated movements.
