# Retrieve owner

`GET /owners/{ownerId}`

Use this method to retrieve details about an owner of a processing account or an owner associated with a funding recipient.  

To retrieve an owner, you need their ownerId. Our gateway returned the ownerId in the response of the [Create Processing Account](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/merchant-platforms/create-processing-account) method or the [Create Funding Recipient Owner](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/create-owner) method.  

**Note:** If you don't have the ownerId, use the [Retrieve Processing Account](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/processing-accounts/retrieve) method if you are searching for a processing account owner, or use the [List Funding Recipient Owners](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/list-owners) method if you are searching for a funding recipient owner.  

Our gateway returns the following information about an owner:  
- Name, date of birth, and address.  
- Contact details, including their email address.  
- Relationship to the business, including whether they are a control prong or authorized signatory, and their equity stake in the business.
