[View source](/issuing/webhook-types/fund-transfers-webhooks.md) ##### Payment webhooks For information on which payment webhooks Adyen sends for transfer-related events, see [Fund transfer-related events (deprecated)](/issuing/webhook-types/fund-transfers-webhooks-old). Adyen sends webhooks for incoming and outgoing fund transfers. These webhooks are triggered when: * You move funds to a [transfer instrument](/issuing/onboard-users/onboarding-steps) using the [/transfers](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers) endpoint. * Your balance account receives funds from an external source, such as a [transfer instrument](/issuing/onboard-users/onboarding-steps). ## 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](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created#request-data-category) | Specifies the category of the transfer. | **bank** | | [direction](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created#request-data-direction) | The direction of the transfer based on the balance account. | Outgoing transfer: **outgoing** Incoming transfer: **incoming** | | [type](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created#request-data-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](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/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** **Example transfer.created webhook for a received outgoing transfer request** ```json { "data": { "balancePlatform": "YOUR_BALANCE_PLATFORM", "creationDate": "2023-02-16T12:58:12+01:00", "id": "1WIZQB5XXY7MHOXH", "amount": { "currency": "EUR", "value": 1000 }, "category": "bank", "description": "Your description for the transfer", "reference": "Your reference for the transfer", "referenceForBeneficiary": "Your reference sent to the beneficiary", "direction": "outgoing", "reason": "approved", "status": "received", "accountHolder": { "description": "Your description for the account holder", "id": "AH00000000000000000000001", "reference": "Your reference for the account holder" }, "balanceAccount": { "description": "Your description for the source balance account", "id": "BA00000000000000000000001", "reference": "Your reference for the source balance account" }, "balances": [ { "currency": "EUR", "received": -1000 } ], "events": [ { "bookingDate": "2023-02-16T12:58:25+01:00", "id": "EVJN00000000000000000000000001", "mutations": [ { "currency": "EUR", "received": -1000 } ], "status": "received", "type": "accounting", "valueDate": "2023-02-16T12:58:25+01:00" } ], "sequenceNumber": 1, "type": "bankTransfer" }, "environment": "test", "type": "balancePlatform.transfer.created" } ``` ### Outgoing transfer authorised The [balancePlatform.transfer.updated](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.updated) webhook informs you that the transfer request has been authorised.

For example, if the fund transfer to a transfer instrument fails. ## Incoming transfer Adyen sends three webhooks when you receive an incoming transfer to your balance account from an external source, such as a transfer instrument. ### Incoming transfer received The [balancePlatform.transfer.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created) webhook informs your server of the received request to transfer funds to your target balance account.
