Rules & Approvals
Control Every Request. Approve with Confidence.
Xace's Rules & Approvals Engine puts you in command of every request—from payments and payee changes to feature access and data permissions. Structured, auditable, and built for complex iGaming operations.
Why governance-led teams choose Xace
Controls that protect speed, not just risk
The strongest finance teams know that approvals are not a bottleneck. The right control layer lets teams move quickly inside visible, auditable boundaries — without exception handling or compliance scrambles.
Configurable rules engine
Set spending limits, payee restrictions, time-based rules, and automatic routing by amount, currency, or entity. Rules enforce themselves — no manual oversight required for every transaction.
Multi-level approval workflows
Route every sensitive payment through the exact approval chain it warrants. Multi-signature flows, role-based routing, and escalation paths built for complex group structures and regulated environments.
Policy-led governance
Enforce spending policies, mask sensitive payment data where needed, and maintain a complete audit trail. Every rule change, approval, and rejection logged with timestamp and user identity.
Control at every stage of the payment lifecycle
Control at every stage of the payment lifecycle
Define the policy engine that governs every payment
Set configurable rules by amount, currency, payee, entity, or time window. Rules apply equally to dashboard and API-initiated payments — no gaps in coverage across any channel.
Configure rules by amount, currency, or payee
Set precise conditions that trigger rules automatically. Coverage spans per-transaction, daily, and rolling limits across any user, role, or entity in the group.
Set spend guardrails per user, team, or entity
Apply individual payment limits, whitelist approved payees, and restrict new payee creation to authorised users across every operating entity.
Stack controls across the governance model
Layer rules, approval requirements, and visibility controls to match your operating model without creating bottlenecks or leaving compliance gaps.
Approval Chains
Multi-step approvals for every sensitive payment
Route payments through the right people before value moves. Approval chains cascade by amount, currency, payee, or entity — with backup approvers, escalation timeouts, and real-time notification across mobile and Slack. Multi-entity group structures are fully supported, with per-entity approval thresholds and role routing.
Maker-Checker Control
Sensitive payments with controlled visibility
Separate payment initiation from approval authority. Mask account numbers, payee details, and amounts so only the right roles see sensitive fields. A maker-checker model that matches regulated operating requirements — for everything from outbound SWIFT transfers to high-value batch file submissions — without slowing the flow of payments.
Governance Stack
Policy enforcement across the full payment lifecycle
Layer rules, approvals, and audit controls into a single governance model. Every policy decision — from rule creation to approval routing to rejection — is logged with full context. Audit readiness is built into operations, not assembled after the fact, and applies equally across dashboard, API, and batch payment channels.
Governance as a speed layer
The right controls let teams move faster, not slower
Payment controls are often treated as friction — an overhead imposed on finance teams to protect against risk. The operators who run the most efficient operations think differently. The right control layer defines exactly where autonomy exists and where oversight is required, eliminating the exception handling, override requests, and audit scrambles that slow down ungoverned teams.
Xace Rules & Approvals is designed for finance and operations leaders who need to delegate confidently across complex groups — multiple entities, multiple jurisdictions, multiple teams — without losing visibility or control. Configure once. Enforce everywhere. From maker-checker flows on outbound SWIFT payments to spending limits on virtual card programmes, every control is consistent, logged, and fully auditable across the platform and the API.
