I feel like I’m missing something from your post. Are you being asked to approve several large financial transactions per hour in your job as a software engineer?

Regardless, approvals for multi-million transfers require a higher level of process and approval.

I think you underestimate the scale here, a "multi-million" dollar transaction is something that happens tens of thousands of times a day

if you say so

Maybe, but those multi-million transfers are usually going to known trusted counterparties (other brokers, bank treasuries), not random vendor accounts.
