Work as a team with transfer requests on Qonto

At Qonto, we believe that your team is your company's main resource and that everyone has a role to play in making it the most effective. Feedback from our users and the Qonto team’s collective experience led us to consider the issue of transfer payment requests.

In each organization, several people have occasional or regular needs in terms of transfer payments, but often only one person is assigned to collecting and controlling accounting documents. That person must therefore enter and validate the transfer requests of the whole team. Hardly ideal, either for the person concerned or the company as a whole. That's why we created the "Requests" function.

This new feature is available on the Essential plan upwards, and allows you to delegate the initiation of transfers while keeping control over your company's expenses.

With the "Requests" feature, your team members can now initiate transfers by filling out a form with all the information required for payment.

Instead of oral or written requests, anyone can now request a transfer, which is placed on hold until an Admin validates the request. You can now save time by delegating data entry tasks to your teams.

Each request is subject to validation by the Qonto account holder - or an Administrator - of the Qonto account.

This validation system allows you to keep control of your company's expenses and gives your employees more autonomy.

With the "Requests" feature, your employees can initiate transfers that will be validated by the Qonto account Administrator.

Here is how it works:

That way the Administrator can see the details of each transfer request and the reason for it, then validate or reject the request, giving reasons for the decision if necessary.

Note: Each transfer request can also be cancelled by the transfer initiator.

Qonto employees are the first users of this feature. Each employee can initiate transfers that will be validated by the Administrator.

For example, this is the situation of Camille, our Happiness Manager, who organizes a Meetup in our offices:

Camille orders goodie bags for those attending. She initiates a transfer to pay the supplier. After entering the beneficiary’s details and a small note to justify the request, it is transferred to the Qonto account Administrator, who validates the transaction request and the transfer is executed.

The "Requests" feature offers a high degree of autonomy to teams and contributes to a more efficient collaboration between a manager and his team. In this case, Camille manages the entire process, from the order to the supplier to the transfer of the funds.

Account Administrators thus save themselves time:

So, how are you going to use the "Requests" function?
