Status Definitions That ONLY Apply To Redirected Payments

A redirected payment is a payment that is requested from a buyer or a tenant and redirected to a 3rd party such as a landlord, listing company, escrow holder, attorney, etc.

Redirected

Buyer or Tenant has connected a bank account and authorized a payment be sent to a 3rd party (Landlord, Escrow Holder, etc.). Payment will not change to Pending until the receiving party accepts the payment and the agent/admin who initiated the request approves the payment has been accepted by the correct party.

Accepted / Needs Approval

The party accepting the redirected payment has connected their bank account to accept the payment and the agent/admin who initiated the request must now login to approve the transfer. Payments in a Needs Approval status will be approved at 9 AM EST after being in Needs Approval for 48 hours.
