Trustees hold each employer's trust money; fund managers invest it. Because they handle employees' benefits, each must be verified by you before the administrator can appoint it to a trust. **Where:** **Trustee Verification** or **Fund Manager Verification** in the menu. The two work the same way. They come in two categories: * **Official platform** — the national provider that employers on the official platform service model use. Only one official trustee and one official fund manager can be verified at a time. * **Independent** — a provider an employer appoints for its own trust. ## Open a case Select **Trustee Verification** or **Fund Manager Verification**. The **Trustee registrations** (or **Fund manager registrations**) list shows official platform and independent registrations, pending and decided, with each one's legal name, reference, category and verification status.

A message confirms, for example **Trustee registration marked verified.** The status changes to **Verified**, and the provider can be appointed to employer trusts. Approving also creates the provider's login — its username is the reference number in lower case — and emails the contact person a link to set their password.
