# Owners

Use our Owners endpoints to retrieve, update, or delete an owner.

In our API, there are two types of owners:

* **Owner of a processing account** - An individual who owns the relationship between Payroc and the processing account. Use our [Create Merchant Platform](/api/schema/boarding/merchant-platforms/create) method or our [Create Processing Account](/api/schema/boarding/merchant-platforms/create-processing-account) method to add an owner to a processing account.
* **Owner of a funding recipient** - An individual who is associated with the funding recipient. Use our [Create Funding Recipient](/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/create) method or our [Create Funding Recipient Owner](/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/create-owner) method to add an owner to a funding recipient.

Our gateway assigns an ownerId to each owner, which you can use to:

### Retrieve the details of an owner

Integrate with our [Retrieve Owner](/api/schema/boarding/owners/retrieve) method to view the details of an owner, such as their name, address, and contact details.

### Update the details of an owner

**Important:** You can't update the details of an owner of a processing account.

Integrate with our [Update Owner](/api/schema/boarding/owners/update) method to update the details of an owner, such as their name, address, and contact details.

### Delete an owner

**Important:** You can't delete an owner of a processing account.

Integrate with our [Delete Owner](/api/schema/boarding/owners/delete) method to delete an owner from a funding recipient.
