Approvals
Within Qredo, the custody rules require an approval for:
- every transaction created
- every request to move assets out of a Qredo Wallet (withdrawal)
before it can be completed.
Approvers may be people that exist within the Qredo system who have set up a Personal account and agreed to take on a custody role, aka "trusted parties". These are Signing App approvers whose approvals are managed via the Mobile App. Alternatively, approvers may be automated Signing Agents, programmed to respond within specified constraints to auto-approve or reject transfer requests.
The collection of designated trusted parties forms your trusted network. Every Company (for Partner API) or Organization (for Qredo API) has one or more approvers that approve transactions across Funds and Wallets.
You may choose to let a Wallet inherit its policy, or you can create granular control policies at a level that suits.
Granular control over approvals
Not only does Qredo allow you to customize your approval groups and custody policies, the rulesets by which approvals may be made — such rulesets may be applied at various levels:
Partner API | Qredo API | |
---|---|---|
Supported policy level | Company | Organization |
Fund | Fund | |
Wallet | Wallet |
Or the policy may be inherited from the top level down.
Similarly, for each entity you have the option to customize the trusted network for transactions and withdrawals.
Transactions and withdrawal policies can differ
You may choose to have different a different policy controlling transactions and withdrawals. Learn more.
