Share Origin business accounts
How a business sets up a nominated representative at Origin and shares its energy accounts through your product.
Before you start
This guide applies to business customers with energy accounts held by a company, trust, or partnership at Origin. A CDR nominated representative must be in place before business accounts can be shared. Energy retailers publish little about their appointment processes, so treat the steps below as the typical pattern rather than a verified click-path.
Appoint a nominated representative
- An authorised person on the account (the account holder or an existing authorised contact) contacts Origin's business support.
- They authenticate and ask to appoint a CDR nominated representative for data sharing on the business account.
- Origin records the appointment; the nominated person can then approve data sharing.
Have the business confirm the appointment is active before attempting the consent flow. For Origin's current process, search "Origin Consumer Data Right nominated representative" or check the Consumer Data Right pages on originenergy.com.au.
Then share the accounts
Once appointed, the nominated representative starts the consent flow in your product, selects Origin, authenticates, and approves sharing for the business's accounts.
If it doesn't work
- No business accounts in the consent flow — the appointment isn't recorded yet, or the person authenticating isn't the nominated representative.
- Support staff are unfamiliar with the request — asking specifically for "Consumer Data Right data sharing for a business account" usually reaches the right team.
For anything else, the business should contact Origin's business customer support directly.
