This guide covers how to create and manage FBO (For Benefit Of) accounts as an organization admin.

Creating an FBO account

  1. Navigate to FBO Accounts from the dashboard
  2. Click Create FBO Account
  3. Fill in the required fields:
    • First name and last name
    • Email address
    • Phone number
    • Max insured value
  4. Optionally add a business name
  5. Click Create
When an FBO account is created:
  • A welcome email is sent to the account holder
  • The account appears in your FBO accounts list

Managing account details

Updating information

Organization admins can update FBO account details including:
  • Name (first and last)
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Business name
All changes are tracked in the account history.

Managing addresses

Each FBO account supports multiple addresses:
1

Navigate to the FBO account

Click on the FBO account from your accounts list
2

Go to Addresses

Select the Addresses tab
3

Add an address

Click Add Address and select the type:
  • Return — used as the default for outbound shipments
  • Billing — used for invoicing
  • Alternate — additional shipping addresses
4

Fill in the details

Enter the street address, city, state, ZIP code, and country
Addresses can be deactivated when no longer needed. Deactivated addresses remain in the system for audit purposes.

Client access

Invite clients as Clerk organization members so they can sign in to the vault app and work with FBO accounts in your organization. Org members can typically:
  • View stored inventory
  • Request outbound shipments
  • Track shipment status and history
  • Manage addresses (depending on role)

Searching FBO accounts

You can search across FBO accounts within your organization by:
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email address
  • Business name

Deleting an FBO account

FBO accounts can be soft-deleted by organization admins. A deleted account:
  • Can no longer hold active inventory
  • Retains all history for audit purposes
  • Cannot be restored (contact Beach Depositories support if needed)
Ensure all inventory has been transferred or shipped out before deleting an FBO account.
