neutral  Erik Macki: I think "authorized user" is a bit better because a joint account holder is someone to whom the money also belongs, whereas an "authorized user" is simply being granted access to the money.

agree  brute (X): .. yet in this case, Eric, "joint" refers less to funds than account.

authorised person


Explanation:
It is quite frequent that two or more persons are authorised to give orders / draw cash / transfer funds etc. It seems that in this particular case, two "signatures" are required to confirm (perhaps the amount is too important or this is the policy of the company issuing this instruction).

authorised person


Explanation:
I would translate the sentence as: 'Please keep in mind that the transfer has to be released there within 10 days by a second authorised person.' If this would not be a webpage I would use countersign instead since the bank will transfer the money only after it has the signature of all the people who have to sign transactions.
HTH?
