A payment service system receives a transaction instrument identifier of a transaction instrument, and associates the transaction instrument with an account associated with a first user. The system identifies rules that identify whether to request authorization from a second user to process respective transactions that involve the transaction instrument and that are associated with one of a set of transaction types. The system receives a transaction indication indicating a request to use the transaction instrument for a transaction. The system determines, based on information about the transaction and the one or more rules, that the transaction is categorized into a first transaction type. The rules indicate that the authorization from the second user is to be requested for the first transaction type. The system receives an authorization to process the transaction from a user device associated with the second user, and automatically facilitates processing of the transaction.
