If you have purchased shares or carried out research about any company’s stock, you must have noticed a unique number assigned to each share. This unique alphanumeric code consists of 12 digits and is used to help identify the stocks.
Each security, whether it's an equity share, bond, or mutual fund, domestic or global, has a unique identifier that we call ISIN. In this blog, we will understand its meaning, decode its format and explore the purpose it serves in the world of finance.
ISIN stands for International Securities Identification Number. It is a 12-character alphanumeric code that internationally identifies financial instruments. It is allocated by the National Numbering Agency (NNA) of the respective country.
In India, the agency responsible for allocating ISIN to financial securities is National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Since more than 200 countries follow this numbering system, you can identify securities traded on 100+ exchanges using ISIN.
