The purpose of ISIN, CFI and FISN allocation is a standardized identification of issuers’ securities within a single system and a uniform classification of financial instruments, which allows access to the international market.

CFI code is a 6-digit alpha code reflecting the essential information about securities and other financial instruments (including their type, form of issue, circulation features, maturity date and other relevant characteristics). CFI code is not unique and could be identical in regard to other issues of securities.
FISN code incorporates the issuer short name and the abbreviated characteristics for the financial instrument. It has a maximum length of 35 alphanumeric characters and it is not meant to be machine-readable, but to provide a short format for essential information about a security for human use.
RUE "RCSD" allocates international identification codes on a reimbursable basis upon the request of any interested person, in accordance with the Rules of international ISIN, CFI and FISN codes allocation for securities issues of the Belarusian issuers.
