# Transfer ownership

> Hand your organization to another admin: who can do it, the steps, and what changes.

Every organization has one **owner**. When the owner changes (for example the founder hands the business to a manager, or a franchise changes hands), the owner **transfers ownership** to another admin. Only the current owner can start a transfer.

## Before you start

* The new owner must already be an **active admin** of your organization. If they are not on your team yet, [invite them as an admin](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/team-and-roles.md#inviting-a-member) first and wait until they have joined.
* A suspended person, or a VEXiON support account, cannot become the owner.
* You stay the owner until the other person accepts.

## Steps

**1. Open the Team tab**

In [Settings](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/settings-overview.md), open **Team**. In the **Ownership** block click **Transfer ownership**. You can also use **Make owner...** in the menu of an admin.

**2. Choose the new owner**

Pick one of your admins. People who cannot become the owner are greyed out, with the reason.

**3. Read, type the organization name, and confirm**

The window explains what changes. Type the **name of your organization** to confirm that you mean it, then click the send button. VEXiON asks you to confirm it is really you with a one-time code. Nothing is sent before that.

**4. The new owner accepts**

The new owner gets an email with a button. They must be **signed in as the same person the email was sent to**, and they confirm with a one-time code too. A forwarded email is useless to anyone else. The request is valid for **7 days**.

Confirming that it is you: the code from your email

While the request waits, the Team tab shows a banner with **Resend email** and **Cancel transfer**.

## What changes, and what does not

| Changes | Stays the same |
| - | - |
| The new person becomes the **owner** and the account contact. | Your cards, customers, locations, and history. |
| You become an **admin** and stay on the team. | The subscription, the plan, and the invoices. |
| Everyone with admin rights gets an email about the change. | The **billing email**: invoices still go to the old address until the new owner changes it. |

> [!WARNING]
>
> The new owner is asked to **update the billing email** right after the transfer. Until then, invoices and payment notices still go to the previous owner's address.

The old owner's phone login for the scanner app is switched off, because it belonged to the old person. The new owner can set up their own.

You **cannot undo** a transfer, but the new owner can transfer ownership back to you the same way.

## Cancelling, declining, and expiry

* You can **cancel** the request at any time before it is accepted. The other person can **decline** it.
* If the request is not accepted within 7 days it **expires**. Nothing changes and both of you get an email.
* If the new owner is removed, suspended, or changed to another role in the meantime, the request is **cancelled** automatically.

## If the owner can no longer sign in

If the owner left the company or lost access, write to [VEXiON support](mailto:info@vexioncards.one). Support asks for proof (for example that the request comes from the billing email or the company, and matches the invoice), contacts your current admins, and waits 48 hours before it changes the owner. The same email goes to the old owner's address, so a request that nobody agreed to can be stopped.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If an owner who started a transfer is later removed from the sign-in service, the transfer they approved can still be completed by the person they chose.
