Single vs Dual Approval Explained

OutflowGuard supports two approval workflows to match your organisation's security requirements.

Single Approval (Default)

In single approval mode:

1. One person verifies the bank change

2. The same person can unlock the payment

3. Fastest workflow for small teams

Best for: Small teams, lower-value transactions, trusted environments

Dual Approval (Two-Person Rule)

In dual approval mode:

1. First person verifies the bank change ("First Approval")

2. A different person must approve ("Second Approval")

3. Either person can then unlock the payment

Best for: Larger organisations, high-value transactions, compliance requirements
