Becoming an EKN Online user
In order to become an EKN Online user you log in with your electronic identification (eID) and accept that EKN can store your personal data for this purpose. You can find an online services agreement on EKN Online.
An online services agreement for EKN Online comprises the following:
- Online services agreement for EKN Online
- General Terms and Conditions for EKN Online
- Power(s) of attorney for EKN Online
Authorisation for a company account
In conjunction with signing the online services agreement, the account holder issues a power of attorney to a user that provides said user with authority to act as the account administrator.
Thereafter, the administrator can, on behalf of the account holder, authorise additional users to use the company account to perform tasks on behalf of the account holder.
However, the administrator is unable to appoint other administrators. If a user is connected to several company accounts, a power of attorney is required for each company account.
How do I access an existing company account?
If you wish to connect to an existing company account, you can log in to EKN Online and create a user. You can then state the account number connected to the company account. The administrator will then be able to approve your connection to the company account.
How do I revoke user access to a company account?
An account administrator can revoke access for a user that is to no longer have authorization to a company account in EKN Online. The user can also remove themselves.
You can find Remove a user from an account under “Accounts”/”select account to open”/”User”/”select name of user”/”Display”.
