What is Smart approvals and how does it work with my Xero invoices?

Smart approvals automatically reviews your eligible Xero invoices, pre-approves them for funding and creates offers you can use when you need extra cash flow. No extra admin.

Smart approvals gives you faster, more predictable access to cash by automatically pre-approving eligible invoices from Xero for funding.

Instead of uploading invoices or guessing what TRIVER will approve, you’ll see ready-made offers in your account that you can use whenever you need them.

Who can use Smart approvals?

Smart approvals is currently available to:

  • Selected TRIVER customers

  • Who have connected their Xero account

We’re gradually rolling this out, so you may see Smart approvals even if other businesses don’t yet. If you’re included, you might see Smart-approved invoices on your dashboard.

How Smart approvals works

  1. We sync with Xero
    TRIVER regularly checks your connected Xero account for eligible invoices.

  2. We review and pre-approve invoices
    Our system assesses each eligible invoice and decides whether to approve it for funding.

  3. We create offers for approved invoices
    For approved invoices, you’ll see advance offers in your TRIVER account — ready to accept.

  4. We notify you
    When new invoices are Smart-approved, you’ll get an email summarising:

    • The total amount approved (£<x>)

    • The number of invoices (<y>)

    • The buyers those invoices are from

  5. You choose what to advance
    Log in, select the invoices you want to advance, accept the offers — and the money is sent to your bank account in seconds.

What are the benefits?

Smart approvals is designed to make managing cash flow easier:

  • No guesswork
    You can see which invoices TRIVER will fund upfront, instead of waiting for a decision.

  • Less admin
    No need to upload invoices or submit separate funding requests. Offers appear automatically from Xero.

  • Faster access to cash
    Once you accept an offer, funds are transferred to your bank account in seconds.

  • You stay in control
    Nothing is advanced automatically. You decide whether to advance some, all, or none of the approved invoices.

Where do I see my Smart-approved invoices?

If Smart approvals is active on your account:

  • You’ll receive an email when new invoices are approved.

  • In TRIVER, your dashboard will show any invoices that have been Smart-approved and are ready to advance.

If there are approved invoices waiting, you’ll see them right away on your dashboard.

Do I have to use Smart-approved offers?

No. You can advance as many or as little as you like.

The offers are there when you need them, so you can match your funding to your cash flow needs.

What makes an invoice “eligible”?

Smart approvals only reviews eligible invoices from Xero. Eligibility can depend on factors such as:

  • Your business profile and history with TRIVER

  • The buyer on the invoice

  • The invoice amount and due date

You may notice that some Xero invoices are Smart-approved while others aren’t — that’s normal. You can learn more about invoices eligibility here.

Is Smart approvals guaranteed?

Yes. Smart approvals is designed to give you reliable access to funding:

  • When an invoice is Smart-approved, you’ll see a clear offer in your TRIVER account.

  • The offer is ready to use as soon as you choose to advance it.

You’ll always see the exact amounts and terms before you accept any offer.
