The nominee registered is the legal person, who is the beneficial owner of the Trust Account and is responsible for the account activity.

Open-Bank Foundation uses data provided during the activation of Open-BankID to provision Trust Entitlements to you. Read more about how the data is used in the network's [compliance docs](https://docs.openconstitution.us/compliance-docs).

In the case of an organisation opening the Trust Account and activating Open-BankID, an organisation representative must be associated as a nominee.&#x20;

The organisation representative is any natural person who is a real or beneficial owner of the organisation who is registering and activating Open-BankID.
