A 12-character open identifier for financial instruments, defined as a standard by the Object Management Group. Unlike an ISIN, it identifies an instrument down to the trading venue.

How is the FIGI check digit calculated?

Letters count as 10 to 35 and digits as themselves; every second value is doubled and the digits of all values are added. The check digit is the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10.

Why is my FIGI not valid?

A character is mistyped, the third character is not G, a vowel appears in characters 4 to 11, or the prefix is one of the excluded pairs. The tool says which check failed.

How do I find the FIGIs of an ISIN?

Use the security lookup on zagtrader.com: paste the ISIN and it lists every FIGI with ticker and exchange.

How a FIGI is built

A FIGI (Financial Instrument Global Identifier) is an open standard of the Object Management Group (OMG). It has 12 characters and a code is never reused. The identifiers are in the public domain.

Characters	Example (BBG000B9XRY4)	What it is
1 and 2	`BB`	The certified provider that issued the FIGI; two consonants, never BS, BM, GG, GB, GH, KY or VG, so a FIGI cannot look like an ISIN
3	`G`	Always G, for global
4 to 11	`000B9XRY`	Consonants and digits, never vowels
12	`4`	Check digit (modulus 10 double add double, as for a CUSIP)

FIGI, composite FIGI and share class FIGI

The FIGI identifies the instrument on one trading venue, for example a share on one exchange.
The composite FIGI groups the venue-level FIGIs of the same instrument in one country.
The share class FIGI groups the instrument across countries.
One ISIN therefore has many FIGIs, one per venue.
