Learn which webhooks are sent when you move funds to or from balance accounts.

Payment webhooks

For information on which payment webhooks Adyen sends for transfer-related events, see Fund transfer-related events (deprecated).

Adyen sends webhooks for incoming and outgoing fund transfers. These webhooks are triggered when:

You move funds to a transfer instrument using the /transfers endpoint.
Your balance account receives funds from an external source, such as a transfer instrument.

Webhook types

Webhooks inform you when a fund transfer has been initiated, and when funds have been added to or deducted from balance accounts.

You can identify the webhooks triggered by transfer-related events by the following values:

Parameter	Description	Value
category	Specifies the category of the transfer.	bank
direction	The direction of the transfer based on the balance account.	Outgoing transfer: outgoing Incoming transfer: incoming
type	Specifies the type of the transfer.	bankTransfer

Outgoing transfer

Adyen sends three webhooks when you send an outgoing transfer to a transfer instrument.

Outgoing transfer received

The balancePlatform.transfer.created webhook informs your server of the received request to transfer funds out of the balance account. This webhook contains:

direction: outgoing
status: received

Outgoing transfer authorised

The balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhook informs you that the transfer request has been authorised. This webhook contains:

direction: outgoing

The balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhook informs you that funds were deducted from the source balance account. This webhook contains:

counterparty.transferInstrumentId: ID of target transfer instrument

After the transfer is booked, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.transaction.created webhook with the following information:
