International Securities Identification Number - ISIN

International Securities Identification Number - ISIN

A code that uniquely identifies a specific securities issue. The organization that allocates ISINs in any particular country is the National Numbering Agency (NNA).

Notes:

All internationally traded securities issuers are urged to use this numbering scheme, which is now the accepted standard by virtually all countries. The United States and Canada primarily use a similar scheme known as a CUSIP number.
