The International Securities Identification Number, or ISIN, is a unique 12 character alpha-numeric international code which identifies a specific security (e.g., stock, bond, warrant).

The ISIN consists of three parts; a two letter country code, a nine character National Security Identifying Number (NSIN) and a single check digit. Take for instance Apple, Inc. (trading symbol AAPL) which has the following ISIN: US0378331005. The first two characters (US) represent the country in which this issuer is domiciled. The next nine (037833100) represent the NSIN which, as this is a US issuer, is a CUSIP. The final character (5) is the check digit used for error detection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
