Payment Status
Payment status reflects the outcome of the actual funds movement.| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Processed | The payment completed successfully. Funds have been delivered. |
| Awaiting Funds | The payment was initiated but Bila has not yet received the funds from the sender. The transaction will complete once funds arrive. |
| Failed | The payment could not be completed. Funds are returned to the source wallet if they were deducted. Check the details and retry. |
Approval Status
Approval status applies to outgoing payments (payouts) and reflects whether the transfer has been authorised by the required parties on your account.| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Approved | The payout has been authorised and is being processed. |
| Pending approval | The payout was submitted but is waiting for an approver to authorise it before funds are moved. |
If your account requires dual authorisation, a payout submitted by an Initiator Only role will stay in Pending approval until someone with Approver Only or Initiator & Approver access confirms it in the Pending approval tab.
