Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for performing money movement transactions with a policy orchestrator are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes: for each transaction of a plurality of transactions in a commerce platform, where said each transaction specifies a money movement to be made by a payment processor of a commerce platform, receiving a request for a license to make the money movement, evaluating whether the money movement associated with said each transaction is a legal money movement, and issuing the license for said each transaction in response to determining the money movement associated with the transaction is a legal money movement. The method also includes subsequently receiving said each transaction when its associated money movement is to be committed, checking whether a valid license exists for said each transaction, and sending said each transaction to the book keeping system of the commerce platform if said each transaction has a valid license.
