No. Transfers need to be authorised in line with the signing arrangement i.e. if the requirement is for one to sign, or two to sign, the specified number of Authorisers must approve the transfer.

• As this is a transfer between your own accounts, and not a third party payment, the payments do not need to be authorised with a Security Device Code.
• The Authorisers will see a button to click, but will not be presented with a Security Code entry box.

Back to top

Payments awaiting authorisation sit in a "Work in progress queue" in "Authorise Payments/Transfers" under the "Pay and Transfer" menu until they reach the payment expiry period, as specified at registration. 

• This period, between seven days and 31 days, determines the amount of time the payment can stay unauthorised before expiring.

Back to top

No. Once the recurring payment is authorised this authorises all future payments in the series.

• The recurring payment can be cancelled at any time from the "Future payments/transfers" under the "Pay and transfer" menu.
• Cancellation of recurring payment does not require multiple authorisations.

If an Authoriser does not approve payments before cut-off time, the payment will be processed the next bank business day.

Payments can expire in one of the two ways:

• If the payment was created as an immediate payment and was not fully authorised within the payment authorisation period.
• If the payment was created as a scheduled payment (future dated) and was not authorised by the cut-off time the previous bank business day by all required parties.

If the status shows that the payment has expired, the same payment cannot be authorised again. A new payment needs to be set up and authorised within the authorisation period.
