Review Transfer Approval Requests
Approve or deny pending transfer requests from the Requests & Approvals dashboard.
Overview
When transfer approvals are enabled, every new transfer creates a request that appears on the Requests & Approvals dashboard. Assigned approvers review the request details and approve or deny it. This is the same dashboard used for expense and invoice approvals.
1. Open the Requests & Approvals page
- Navigate to Settings > Requests & Approvals.
- The page shows two tabs:
- Pending Approval — Shows only requests waiting for your action. This is the default tab.
- All Requests — Shows all requests regardless of status.
The Approval Settings link at the top of the page opens Product Settings > Approvals where you can manage templates.
2. Find the request
Use the search bar to find a request by name, requester, or request ID. Use the dropdown filters to narrow results:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Status | All, Pending, Approved, Rejected |
| Product | All products, Transfers, Expenses, Invoices |
| Type | Depends on the product |
The table shows these columns: Request ID, Request Name, Requester, Product/Type, Date, Amount, Status, and Approval Step.
3. Review the request details
Select a row to open the request details. The modal shows:
Review Request — The transfer amount, status badge, workflow step, and submitted date.
Request Details — Requester email, product, type, approval step, and current approver.
Transfer Details — The destination account name, account number, destination BIC, and source account.
If the request includes supporting documents, they appear in a Supporting Documents section with download links.
4. Approve or deny the request
Approve a request
- Select Approve from the request details or the table row.
- If the template has multiple stages, the request moves to the next approver.
- Once all required approvals are collected, the transfer proceeds to processing.
Deny a request
- Select Deny.
- Enter a reason for the denial. This field is required and has a 500-character limit.
- Select Confirm.
- The transfer is rejected and does not proceed. The requester can see the denial reason in the request details.
What happens after a decision
| Decision | What happens | Request status |
|---|---|---|
| Approved (last stage) | The transfer proceeds to processing. | Approved |
| Approved (not last stage) | The request moves to the next approver in the template. | Pending |
| Denied | The transfer is rejected. The requester sees the denial reason. | Rejected |
Only the approver assigned to the current stage of a request can approve or deny it. If you are listed as an approver but the request is on a different stage, you must wait for your turn.
