Payment Approval

The Payment Approval Microjourney™ in Pega Customer Service™ for Financial Services enables escalation, review, and approval of a payment, making the process more convenient for corporate customers and more efficient for relationship managers.

This use case enables banks to proactively notify chief financial officers (CFOs) and treasurers of potentially fraudulent or exceptional payments.

The Payment Approval Microjourney is available in the web self-service channel.

Web self-service example: commercial bank customers review exceptional payments and either approve or reject them.

Web Self-Service

Web self-service is the primary channel for commercial bank customers to review exceptional payments and either approve or reject them.

  1. Customer reviews the details of the payment that was flagged by the bank’s fraud detection logic.
  2. Customer sees the reason why the payment was flagged. 
  3. Customer can choose to stop the payment and request a fraud investigation or approve the payment.

App Studio provides personas, stages and steps, and data objects in one window.
