Payment approvals help businesses control their payments on Wise. Payment approvals are only available in regions where you can open balances and hold money.

Team members whose payments need approval will be able to set up payments, but the payment won’t be funded or completed until it’s approved by another team member.
You can set up a payment approval for any team member with permission to set up or make payments via transfer.

For each team member, you can choose whether all their payments should require approval, or just those above a certain amount.
You can also choose for payments to require approval by 1 or 2 people. The team member approving a payment can be anyone with permission to approve payments created by other team members.
If a team member sets up a payment that needs approval, team members with permission to approve payments created by other team members will automatically be notified to review it. Once approved, the payment can be funded and completed. Keep in mind that team members can’t approve their own payments.
Payments that have been set up and are awaiting approval will appear under Tasks on the home screen for team members with permission to approve payments created by other team members. After a payment is approved or rejected, it'll appear with your other payments in the Activity feed.
Please ensure you have Transfers and balances notifications turned on to receive approval-related notifications.
