Do LEI providers offer volume discounts?

Usually yes. Most providers price by tiers based on how many LEIs sit on one account, and large portfolios get negotiated rates. The discount often covers renewals as well as new codes, which is where most of the saving lies for fund administrators and corporate service providers.
Discounts usually come in tiers set by the number of LEIs on one account, and the first tier often starts at a small number, sometimes five or ten. Larger portfolios get negotiated rates, an account manager and invoicing in place of card payments. Bulk LEI pricing above the first tier is often quoted on request.
A group that transfers its existing codes into one account can bring them under the bulk rate at their next renewals, as long as the transfer terms allow it. Each of the accredited issuers GLEIF lists sets its own tiers, and resellers set theirs on top.
The cheapest headline rate is not the whole picture for a portfolio. Bulk upload, one renewal calendar and reports on records about to lapse save staff time that a per-code discount does not show, so portfolio account features belong in the provider comparison next to the rate.
