Cool. I see parallels with Ethereum here. How complex can the rules be? Could you have smart contract functionality?

The rules can be as complex as the code you can write. It effectively sends a webhook on which you can respond "decline" to stop the tx from succeeding. (RootCode also packages this concept to make it quicker to prototype)

Is there a timeout for approving/declining transactions? I'd be interested in setting up a sort of 2FA for large/over budget transactions where I'd have to manually approve it before it goes through.

e.g. "You've already spent over your monthly Amazon budget by X amount, are you sure you want to make this $200 purchase?"
