Authority for AI and machine-driven transactions

Arximus applies transaction-level runtime authority to consequential machine-initiated financial operations. Trusted identity, delegated financial authority, exact transaction values, customer-defined policy and authoritative facts from existing financial systems determine whether the operation may proceed to customer-controlled execution.

PAYMENTS TREASURY BENEFICIARIES APPROVALS LIMITS AUTHORITATIVE FACTS BINDING EVIDENCE
FINANCIAL AUTHORITY MODEL

A permission is not enough for a consequential transaction.

Authority to initiate a financial action does not authorize every amount, beneficiary, account, instrument, destination or business condition. Arximus evaluates the exact proposed transaction against the authority actually delegated to the machine actor.

01 / ACTOR

Establish trusted actor identity

Resolve the application, service, AI agent or principal through trusted identity and delegation rather than self-asserted claims.

02 / DELEGATION

Resolve delegated financial authority

Determine the operation classes, accounts, limits, beneficiaries and conditions actually delegated to that actor.

03 / TRANSACTION

Evaluate the exact transaction

Normalize amount, currency, account, beneficiary, transaction ID, destination and other protected values into one typed operation.

04 / AUTHORITATIVE FACTS

Verify current financial state

Bring required approvals, entitlements, risk decisions, account state and other authoritative facts into authorization.

05 / DECISION

Authorize, hold or refuse

Deterministic policy decides and binds authorization to the exact transaction before it can proceed to customer-controlled execution.

CONSEQUENTIAL OPERATIONS

Consequential financial operations require typed authority.

Customer-defined operation classes place authorization around the financial actions that create consequence. Each class can carry its own protected values, delegated authority, limits, approval requirements, authoritative conditions and execution boundary.

01 / PAYMENT

Payment execution

Bind authorization to the exact amount, currency, beneficiary, source account, destination and transaction identifier.

payment.execute
02 / BENEFICIARY

Beneficiary changes

Require explicit authority and configured approval before a machine actor creates, changes or activates a protected payment destination.

beneficiary.modify
03 / REFUND

Refunds & credits

Constrain refunds and credits by customer, account, amount, reason, workflow state and delegated financial limits.

refund.issue
04 / ACCOUNT

Account controls

Require explicit authority before machine-driven freezes, restrictions, status changes or other protected account operations.

account.control
05 / TREASURY

Treasury movement

Bind treasury transfers to the exact account scope, amount, counterparty, business purpose and approval conditions that authorized them.

treasury.transfer
06 / MARKETS

Order & trading actions

Apply customer-defined mandate, instrument, account, limit, counterparty and approval conditions before the operation reaches customer-controlled execution.

order.submit
AUTHORITATIVE FINANCIAL STATE

Authoritative financial state becomes part of authorization.

Financial authority depends on current institutional facts, not only static permission. When policy requires approval, beneficiary, account, risk, workflow or ledger state, Arximus verifies those facts during authorization. Customer systems establish the facts. Deterministic Arximus policy decides what they mean for the exact transaction.

APPROVAL

Treasury or payment approval

Confirm that the required approval exists, remains current and applies to the exact transaction being proposed.

BENEFICIARY

Beneficiary master

Verify that the beneficiary exists, remains active and satisfies the institution's current payment conditions.

ACCOUNT

Account authority

Confirm that the account remains eligible for the operation and falls within the actor's delegated financial authority.

RISK

Risk or fraud decision

Require a current decision from the customer-approved risk system when financial policy makes that decision an authorization condition.

WORKFLOW

Case or workflow state

Require the relevant business workflow, investigation, exception or change record to be in the state required by policy.

LEDGER

Current financial state

Bring balances, account status, limits and other authoritative financial state into authorization when the exact transaction depends on them.

MULTI-SOURCE AUTHORIZATION

Every required authority condition must match the same exact transaction.

A capability such as payment.execute establishes only the operation class. Delegated authority, transaction limits, approvals, beneficiary state, account authority and required risk facts must all match the protected values of the same proposed transaction before authorization is bound.

ARXIMUS DECISION ALLOW

Authorization is bound to the exact action, amount, beneficiary, source account, transaction ID and approved destination. A changed protected value requires a new authorization decision.

FINANCIAL GOVERNANCE

Machine financial authority remains inside institutional control.

Customer-defined limits, approvals, operating conditions, current financial state, revocation and separation of duties remain part of runtime authorization. Machine capability cannot expand the financial authority that the institution has actually delegated.

DELEGATED LIMITS

Delegated limits bound machine authority

Define financial authority by operation class, amount, account, business unit, counterparty or other protected transaction scope.

  • Amount limits
  • Account scope
  • Action scope
APPROVAL HOLD

Human and business approval remain enforceable

Configured operations enter HOLD when approval is required and the complete transaction is re-authorized against the resulting approval state.

  • Approval thresholds
  • Four-eyes workflows
  • Full re-authorization
AUTHORITY CONDITIONS

Authority expires with its conditions

Time, environment, workflow and transaction conditions constrain when delegated financial authority remains valid.

  • Time windows
  • Environment scope
  • Business conditions
CURRENT STATE

Current financial state controls current authority

An earlier permission does not override current account status, limits, risk decisions or other authoritative financial conditions.

  • Current status
  • Current limits
  • Current risk facts
REVOCATION CONTROL

Delegated authority can be reduced immediately

Keys, operation classes, connectors and protected release paths can be revoked or disabled when financial or security conditions change.

  • Emergency restriction
  • Action disable
  • Connector disable
SEPARATION OF DUTIES

Transaction initiation cannot control authorization policy

The machine actor requesting a financial operation remains separate from the deterministic policy authority that decides whether the operation may proceed.

  • Independent policy
  • Explicit authority
  • Customer-defined governance
PROTECTED EXECUTION & LOCK

Arximus controls the protected execution path. Customer financial systems execute.

For protected financial operations, Arximus authorizes and binds the exact Protected Execution Function or submitted operation, transaction values and approved destination before controlling what reaches customer-controlled execution. Financial execution credentials and business-action authority remain inside customer-controlled systems.

01

AI / Automation

Requests a protected financial capability or submits the exact transaction it proposes to perform.

02

Arximus Authorization

Evaluates trusted identity, delegated financial authority, exact transaction values, deterministic policy and required authoritative facts.

03

Authorized Release

Binds and releases only the exact authorized financial operation to the approved customer-controlled destination.

04

Customer Executor

Performs the actual financial operation using customer-controlled credentials, infrastructure and execution authority.

ARXIMUS LOCK

Bypassing the authorized path invalidates the protected transaction.

Customer-controlled executors, payment gateways, financial systems or protected service boundaries enforce the trusted Arximus path and reject protected transactions that arrive outside the required authorization boundary.

AUTHORIZE + BIND + RELEASE

Arximus

  • Enforce trusted identity, delegated financial authority and deterministic policy.
  • Bind the exact action, amount, currency, account, beneficiary, destination and other protected values.
  • Reject changed or replayed release attempts.
  • Release only the operation that matches the authorization.
ENFORCE + EXECUTE

Customer

  • Require the trusted Arximus path for designated protected financial operations.
  • Reject alternate transaction paths outside the required authorization boundary.
  • Retain financial execution credentials and local business-action authority.
  • Perform the actual operation through customer-controlled financial systems.
Trusted release path Exact transaction binding Customer enforcement Credential isolation Replay resistance
TRACEABILITY & EVIDENCE

Authorization, release and execution remain distinct financial facts.

Integrity-protected evidence preserves trusted actor identity, delegated authority, policy version, authoritative verification facts, decision reasons, exact transaction binding and release result. Execution is recorded only when the customer-controlled financial system or another authoritative source reports the result.

AUTHORIZED Why was this exact transaction authorized? identity / financial authority / policy / authoritative facts
RELEASED What exact transaction left Arximus? operation hash / protected values / destination
EXECUTED What did the customer-controlled system report? acknowledgement / authoritative execution result

Ordinary AI content is not retained by default. Structured security evidence remains separate from optional content logging, allowing financial institutions to preserve authorization and execution accountability without turning every AI interaction into a permanent transcript.

FINANCIAL CONTROL MODEL

Keep existing financial systems in place. Enforce machine authority at runtime.

Existing systems remain authoritative for the financial state they already own. Arximus models the protected operations and delegated authority that matter, connects required authoritative facts and controls what reaches execution when AI or automation initiates consequential financial action.

01 / MODEL

Define financial operation schemas

Represent payments, beneficiary changes, refunds, account controls, treasury actions and other protected operations using institution-specific fields and identifiers.

02 / CONNECT

Use authoritative financial systems

Connect approval, entitlement, beneficiary, account, risk, workflow and other customer-approved sources when policy requires current authoritative facts.

03 / POLICY

Enforce institutional financial authority

Express organization-specific limits, exceptions, approvals, classifications and conditions while deterministic policy remains the authorization authority.

04 / EXECUTION

Integrate customer-controlled execution

Control what reaches protected financial execution while customer systems retain execution responsibility, credentials and business-action authority.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Put machine-initiated financial operations under transaction-level authority.

Arximus binds machine financial authority to trusted identity, delegated limits, the exact transaction, current authoritative financial state, required approvals and the protected execution path.

TRANSACTION AUTHORITY MODEL
Protected financial operations remain inside explicit authority
  • Machine capability does not create or expand delegated financial authority.
  • Authorization evaluates the exact amount, currency, account, beneficiary, destination and protected transaction values.
  • Approvals, account state, risk decisions and other authoritative financial facts become runtime conditions when policy requires them.
  • Exact transaction binding prevents changed protected values from inheriting prior authorization.
  • Financial execution credentials and business-action authority remain inside customer-controlled systems.
  • Arximus Lock makes bypassed protected transactions invalid where customer infrastructure enforces the trusted path.
  • Evidence distinguishes authorization, release and authoritatively reported execution.
