If you’re a delegate (e.g. an accountant or payroll bureau) managing approvals on behalf of customers, you’ll know how much time gets spent chasing them for approvals. Modulr Mobile App solves this: customers get a push notification when approval is needed, and can respond in seconds – no desktop required.

Funds transfer straight to your Modulr account, ready for any scheduled or approved payments to go out. Funding requirements are clearly shown for your accounts and your customers’ accounts, so you always know what’s needed and when. Accounts and balances Check balances and account activity for your business and your customers, any time.
