Markit RED (Reference Entity Database) is the market standard that confirms the legal relationship between reference entities that trade in the credit default swap market and their associated reference obligations, known as “pairs”. Each entity is identified with a six-digit alphanumeric code, and a nine-digit code identifies the pair

Unique six-digit alpha-numeric RED Codes are used to identify reference entities in North America and reference credit agreements in Europe for use in matching on DTCC.
