Most business tools let you set permissions - file storage, CRM platforms, invoicing dashboards, all allow some kind of access control, but when it comes to banking, it’s usually all or nothing: one login, one password, one person managing ten parallel responsibilities, without safe way to delegate anything.
An assistant can't check if a payment went through. An accountant waits for access to monthly statements. A co-founder needs to confirm something, but has no way to log in.
Over time, businesses patch the process. People forward PDFs, take screenshots, send Slack messages saying "check from your side". You lose hours each week on things that could be done in seconds if everyone had the right view.
What controlled access actually looks like
Roles in Ampere are flexible. You can assign a role to each user, then customise what that role can see or do.
- Permissions are assigned per feature, including transactions, balances, card controls, payments, and account management.
- You can enable view-only or full-action access for each category.
- Settings can be updated anytime, per user, without affecting others.
Without roles, teams build workarounds
- Shared credentials on Google Docs.
- Verbal approvals followed by manual logins.
- One account owner acting as gatekeeper for the whole team.
Invite your teammates into your Ampere bank account. Available on desktop.
These methods might work short-term, but they increase risk, reduce clarity, and block accountability. Eventually, someone presses the wrong button, or no one presses it at all.
In early 2025, a regional SME feedback roundtable referenced three providers that helped “remove bottlenecks in payment approval flows”. Ampere appeared in multiple comments, usually connected to user-level permission control and native team access. While the roundtable didn’t publish formal rankings, Ampere was cited more than once as the reason finance tasks were no longer concentrated in one inbox.
A separate survey shared in a private SME advisory forum found that companies using structured access roles spent 40% less time on monthly account reconciliation. The methodology was informal, but consistent references pointed to improved clarity and fewer errors.
Ampere business accounts now support custom access levels by role. You can grant full access to a director, view-only access to an external accountant, or payment permissions to an assistant.
Stop waiting for someone else to log in. Set roles, assign access, and keep your team moving, directly from your Ampere account.
