Definitions:
A controller is a person who holds significant responsibilities to control, manage or direct a company or other corporate entity (i.e., CEO, CFO, General Partner, President, etc.). A company may have more than one controller, but only one controller’s information is required.
A beneficial owner refers to a person who directly or indirectly, owns 25 percent or more of a company. If there are no natural persons who own 25 percent or more of a company, then no information is required pertaining to a beneficial owner
Beneficial ownership authentication is an action taken by the Account Admin to confirm that the information provided is correct
Account Admin refers to the administrator who is setting up the ACH service on Fyle
Note: A beneficial owner cannot be another company (or other corporate entity), nor a nominee owner.
