A Bloomberg listing is one of the most recognised ways for new issuers to gain visibility and credibility in the fixed-income market.
It ensures your bond data appears in the systems used daily by banks, investors, and custodians.
For new issuers, the process may seem complex — but with clear steps and proper documentation, it becomes straightforward and highly effective.

At The Bond Service, we manage Bloomberg submissions from start to finish.
Our team ensures each bond is correctly listed, verified, and visible to investors worldwide through accurate data input and compliance with Bloomberg protocols.

What Is a Bloomberg Listing?

A Bloomberg listing is the registration of bond information on Bloomberg’s terminal-based database.
This allows investors, custodians, and trading desks to identify, track, and analyse bond instruments accurately.

Each listing includes key data points such as:

  • ISIN, CUSIP, and LEI identifiers

  • Issue date and maturity date

  • Coupon rate and payment schedule

  • Issuer details and jurisdiction

  • Clearing and settlement systems

When your bond appears correctly on Bloomberg, it signals professionalism and operational readiness.
Investors rely on this data before making any purchase decision.

Why a Bloomberg Listing Matters

Visibility drives credibility.
Without a verified Bloomberg listing, many investors cannot locate your bond data or confirm settlement eligibility through custodians such as DTC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) or Euroclear.

A complete listing:

  • Increases transparency for institutional investors

  • Supports due diligence and compliance checks

  • Improves market confidence in the issuer

  • Aligns your bond with standard market infrastructure

Through accurate Bloomberg registration, your bond becomes part of the recognised global securities framework.

Precision. Compliance. Confidence.

How to List a Bond on Bloomberg

The steps below outline the standard submission process for new issuers:

  1. Prepare the documentation.
    Include the final term sheet, offering memorandum, and identifier confirmations (ISIN/CUSIP/LEI).

  2. Verify identifiers.
    Confirm all codes are active and correctly assigned to your bond before submission.

  3. Submit to Bloomberg’s New Issues team.
    Applications are typically made with required attachments and issuer details.

  4. Await verification and assignment.
    Bloomberg reviews the data, validates identifiers, and allocates a Bloomberg ID to the instrument.

  5. Confirm visibility.
    Once processed, your listing will appear under the ISIN or Bloomberg ID across investor terminals.

The Bond Service oversees each stage to ensure accuracy and prompt publication.

Supporting Documentation

Bloomberg typically requests supporting files that confirm your bond’s structure and identifiers.
Commonly required items include:

  • Final term sheet or pricing supplement

  • ISIN/CUSIP confirmation letter

  • LEI certificate

  • Prospectus or offering circular excerpt

  • Issuer contact information

Providing complete, verified documents helps prevent delays and ensures smooth validation.

Common Issues for New Issuers

New issuers often face these challenges:

  • Inconsistent ISIN and CUSIP details

  • Missing LEI linkage

  • Incomplete settlement data

  • Incorrect bond type classification

Each of these errors can prevent listing approval or delay data publication.
Our team resolves inconsistencies before submission to avoid rejections.
