# Approve a pending transfer request

`POST /money/transfer_approvals/{id}/approve`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.stablesea.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.stablesea.com/money/transfer_approvals/{id}/approve`
- Auth: none declared

Records an approval vote from the authorized signed-in session. Executes the movement only when currently eligible votes satisfy the snapshotted approval count and any required named-member sign-off. A successful non-final vote returns the request still pending. Refused if you are the requester or if the request was already decided. New execution is refused after the request expires. Execution rechecks the requester permissions and the applicable compliance privilege. A final fund vote additionally requires quote_key from POST /money/transfer_approvals/{id}/quotes; expired quotes, NAV drift, or unavailable Express settlement leave the request and final vote pending. A changed policy closes an unexecuted request as policy_changed.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string: Optional client idempotency key, honored when sent; a duplicate submission with the same key is rejected with 409.

## Request body

- MoneyMovementsApproveTransferApprovalInput
  - `note` string: Optional plain-text comment, at most 500 characters; recorded with the successful decision.
  - `quote_key` string: Fresh checker quote key, required only when this vote executes a fund trade.
