How do approval flows work in Mimo?

Mimo’s approval flows are designed to make payment authorisations fast, secure, and easy for the right decision-makers.

Initiating an approval flow

When initiating a payment in Mimo, the option to assign an approval flow is available in the Review tab. From there, you can select a custom flow tailored to that specific payment run by assigning one approver and one payer (these can be the same person). Alternatively, you can choose a predefined flow from your Settings, or proceed without an approval flow if no authorisation is needed.

Reviewing the approval

Once submitted, Mimo notifies the designated approver via email, prompting them to review the request. Approvers can access the request directly from the email or through the platform under Approvals > To Review, where they can approve or reject the payment.

Notifications and next steps

If approved, the initiator is notified and the payment is processed. If rejected, the initiator receives the reason for rejection, allowing for necessary adjustments and resubmission.
