Note: 

·         All payments (except those created using pre-approved templates) must be approved before they can be sent to the Bank.

·         The number of approvals required will depend on the Minimum/Maximum Approvals Required and the tiered dollar amounts that have been entered on the Wire Payments Service Information page.

·         The same user that entered a transaction cannot approve the transaction.  

·         Depending on the preference that is indicated on the Wire Payments Service Information page, approval may have to be provided by a User that is in a different Group than the User who entered the payment.
