Audit-ready record for every payment decision

Controls finance teams already expect

The same principles as for people - mandates, approvals and evidence - applied to agents.

Four-eyes for agents

Above a threshold, a person signs off. The agent can't approve its own action.

Payee and amount checks

Payments to new or unexpected recipients and unusual amounts are held before money leaves.

No standing payment access

Agents get access only for the approved action, and only for minutes, instead of permanent keys to your payment systems.

Audit-ready by default

Who acted, under which mandate and with whose approval - the evidence auditors and regulators ask for.

Every action reaches a landing

Every action an agent takes stops here first, then continues, waits for a person or turns back.

“Agents should move fast. Their actions shouldn't go unchecked.”

Why payment settings aren't enough

Payment platforms check the payment. Agents need a check on the agent: whose mandate, which task, which payee.

  1. A check on the agent, not just the payment

    Payment systems validate amounts and accounts. Here, every action is checked against the agent's mandate and the task it was given.

  2. Controls finance already knows

    Limits, approvals and segregation of duties: the same principles applied to people, now applied to agents.

  3. One mandate across systems

    Refunds, payouts and ERP postings follow one set of rules instead of a different setting in every tool.

  4. People decide what matters

    Routine transactions flow. Large and unusual ones reach a person with the full context to approve or reject.
