# Entities

> Understand the Entity that holds your transfer balances, and onboard an Entity for your client through the Fintoc API.

An `Entity` is the legal account holder that owns `Account` objects. Your organization always has a root `Entity`. Platforms that hold balances for clients create one `Entity` per client. This section explains what an `Entity` represents and how to onboard one:

* [The Entity data model](/guides/transfers/entities/entity-data-model): learn what an `Entity` represents, how the root `Entity` differs from a client `Entity`, and when a compliance review applies.
* [Onboard an entity by API](/guides/transfers/entities/onboard-an-entity-by-api): create a Mexican `Entity` for your client and complete its compliance review through the API.

To create `Account` objects under an `Entity` that is already approved, see [Create more accounts](/guides/transfers/manage-accounts/creating-more-accounts).
