Understanding Nominated Representative

Under the Consumer Data Right (CDR) Open Banking, some banks require businesses and other non-individual account holders (e.g., trusts) to appoint a Nominated Representative before they can share data.

A Nominated Representative (also known as a delegate) is an individual within an organisation who is authorised to manage and share CDR data on its behalf. The process for appointing a Nominated Representative varies by bank - some offer online registration, others provide in-app options, and some require a paper or digital form submission.

We strongly recommend guiding your end users through this step before they attempt to add their accounts – it's the most common cause of connection issues at go-live.
