Once your business account is fully approved, the person who created the account may have limited access. This is a security measure to ensure that only the business owner can control sensitive actions, such as transactions and team management.

When does this happen?

This applies if:

  • The account was created by someone who is not a business owner or director (e.g., an assistant or staff member), and

  • A business owner (director) was invited to complete verification and become the Super Admin

What changes after approval?

The original account creator will have limited access and can only:

  • View account balance

  • View transaction history

What access is removed?

The user will no longer be able to:

  • Perform transactions

  • Access account limits

  • Manage teammates or permissions

Why does this happen?

This helps protect your business by ensuring that only authorised owners can:

  • Move money

  • Manage account settings and team access

How can access be restored?

Only the Super Admin (business owner) can restore access by:

  1. Going to the Teams page

  2. Updating the user’s role and permissions

Changes will take effect immediately after the update.

Note: This does not affect all Admins. It only applies to the original account creator in the scenario described above.
