## Approve batch transfer

To manage a large number of transfers at once Batch Upload of transfers is supported. Since it involves processing all the transfers at once, you may want to check and approve it before the amount gets transferred to the respective beneficiaries. To do this, you have to create an approver profile within your Cashfree Account and after it gets approved by the approver, transfers will be made to beneficiaries.

All transfers that are pending approval will be shown in the Approve Batch section as shown below:

One of the users in your company can add all the transfer details in the file and upload it. The approver can approve or reject the transfers. After approval, the transfers are made to customers, and you can view the status of the transfers in the Dashboard.
