Trustees hold the EOSB trusts; fund managers invest them. Both are registered by you and verified by the regulator before they can be appointed to a trust. **Where:** **Trustee** or **Fund Manager** in the menu. The two pages work the same way. **Before you start:** have the provider's certificate of registration and tax evidence, and for an independent provider its MELSS accreditation details. ## Official and independent providers Each page has two tabs: * **Official trustee** / **Official fund manager** — the national providers that serve trusts on the official platform service model. * **Independent trustee** / **Independent fund manager** — private providers accredited by MELSS. Their form also asks for the accreditation number and dates. Under each tab, **Registered** lists the providers and **Register new** opens the form. ## Register a provider The example registers an independent fund manager. Select **Fund Manager**, **Independent fund manager**, then **Register new**. Register independent fund manager with the provider tabs, Fund manager identity, Contact person, Documentary evidence and Submit marked 1 to 5 Official or independent. Legal name, registration and tax identification numbers, telephone, email and physical address. The person at the provider responsible for the registration. For an independent provider, the **MELSS accreditation** number, issue date and expiry date. Then upload the **Certificate of registration** and **Tax evidence**, and wait for each card to say **Uploaded**. A message gives the new reference, for example `PFM-1792235882388-1001`. After a successful submission the form keeps the phone numbers and the uploaded documents. Clear them, or reload the page, before you register another provider. ## Follow the registration Select **Registered**. The new provider shows as **Pending verification**. If it is not there, reload the page. Independent Fund Managers list: Lion Mountain Capital Partners Ltd Pending verification with its menu open showing Open details and Verify, marked 1 The menu at the end of each row (1) has: * **Open details** — the provider and the trusts it serves. * **Verify** — shown while the registration is pending. It marks the provider verified straight away, without going to the regulator. Use it only when MELSS has asked you to. * **Complete draft** — shown for a saved draft. Otherwise the registration waits in the regulator's **Trustee Verification** or **Fund Manager Verification** queue; see [Verify trustees and fund managers](/regulator/provider-verification). ## A provider's trusts **Open details** lists every EOSB trust the provider is appointed to, with the employer, the number of employees and the provider on the other side. National EOSB Fund Manager Limited: reference, registration, Official platform, status Verified, and its assigned trusts ## Give the provider a login Verifying a trustee or fund manager creates its user account automatically. The username is the provider's reference in lower case, for example `pfm-1792235882388-1001`, and the contact person is emailed a link to set the password. To give the provider more logins, create them under **User Management** on the **Trustee** or **Fund manager** tab; see [User accounts](/admin/users).
