Transfer Funds Between Wallets

Transfer funds between Rapyd Wallets.

If the destination wallet does not have an account for the specified currency, the account is created. If the source wallet does not have enough funds in the account for the specified currency, the transfer fails.

The status of the transfer is PEN while the transfer is pending and the transferee has not accepted the transfer.

This method triggers Transfer Funds Between Wallets Created Webhook.

If the transferee fails to respond to the transfer request, the sender must cancel the transaction with Set Transfer Response, with status set to cancel.
