Identify yourself into Suomi.fi e-AuthorizationOpens in a new window. using online banking codes, a mobile certificate, a certificate card or the Finnish Authenticator application.
Select "Act on behalf of another person" as your role.
Select the person who made the power of attorney and whose mandates given for acting on their behalf you want to invalidate.
Click the Go to Suomi.fi e-Authorizations button.
On the Granted mandates page, you can see all the assignees to whom mandates have been given to act in financial matters on behalf of the person who made the continuing power of attorney. You can see only mandates that concern financial matters.
You can select one or more parties and invalidate all their mandates. When you click on a party's name, you can select individual mandates that you want to invalidate.
Finally, click on the 'Invalidate mandates for the selected' button.
The invalidated mandates go to the Expired mandates page, where they are displayed 15 months after the expiration date. The assignee will not be notified that the mandate has been invalidated, so you must notify them of this where necessary.
