Mobile authorization code overview

You can use a mobile authorization code (MAC) to approve a Commercial transaction in a telephone call. We can send authorization requests to you at an email address, a telephone number, or both.

When a user creates a new payment that requires approval, the user can notify valid approvers. If your rights permit you to approve the draft and you configure a MAC, we contact you at the address that you specify for approval.

Mobile authorization contact methods
Method	Notes
Telephone	We place an automated phone call to the specified number. The call prompts you to enter the mobile authorization code that you specified. You can enter a valid code on the phone to approve the draft.
Email address	We send an email to the address. You can log in to online banking or the mobile banking app to approve the draft.
