Dual Approvals

Dual approvals add an extra layer of security by requiring a second admin to review and approve certain payments or transfers before they are processed.

Written by Belen Resta

How to Set Up Dual Approvals

  1. Go to the Payments tab

  2. Select For Approval

  3. Set a minimum threshold amount

Any payment or transfer above this threshold will require approval from another admin before it can be completed.



What Users Will See

  • When submitting a payment that requires approval, a banner will appear on the review screen notifying the user that additional approval is needed.

  • The transaction will remain pending until it is approved by an admin.

How Approvals Work

  • All admins on the account can approve transactions

  • Admins are notified via:

    • Email

    • SMS (if they have a U.S. phone number on file)

  • Admins can approve transactions by:

    • Clicking the link in the notification, or

    • Navigating to the Controls tab to view pending approvals


Approval Logic

  • If there is only one admin:

    • That admin’s transactions will not require approval

    • Transactions initiated by members will still require approval

  • If there are two or more admins:

    • All transactions above the threshold require approval

    • Approval must come from another admin (standard dual approval flow)


Roles & Permissions

Admin

  • Full access to all accounts, security settings, and team management

  • Can set up and approve dual approval rules

  • Acts as an account signatory

Summary

Dual approvals help ensure that high-value transactions are reviewed before being processed, reducing risk and improving control over fund movements.
