# Initiate on-demand internal funds transfers

Send funds or initiate an internal direct debit between balance accounts within your marketplace.

[View source](/marketplaces/internal-fund-transfers/on-demand-fund-transfers.md)

In your marketplace, you can set up a [schedule](/marketplaces/internal-fund-transfers/scheduled-fund-transfers) to automatically transfer funds between balance accounts. In addition to or instead of that, you can transfer funds between balance accounts on-demand.

## Requirements

Before you begin, take into account the following requirements and preparations:

## Initiate an internal transfer

Select the following tabs to learn how to initiate transfers between balance accounts using your Customer Area, or using an API call.

### Tab: Customer Area

In your Customer Area, initiate the transfer as follows:

1. Go to **Transactions** > **Transfers**.

2. In the **Balance platform** dropdown, select the balance platform. You can view transfers from one balance platform at a time.

3. Select **Transfer funds**.

4. In the **Source balance account** field, enter the ID of the [balance account](/marketplaces/account-structure-resources) where the funds will be debited.

5. In the **Counterparty Type** field, select **balanceAccount**.

6. Select the **Counterparty balance account ID**. This is where the funds will be credited.

7. Select the currency and enter the amount to be transferred.

8. Optional. Enter the following information:

   * **Reference**: your reference for the transfer, used internally within your platform. If you do not provide this, Adyen generates a unique reference. Maximum 80 characters.
   * **Description**: a description of the transfer that is sent to the recipient of the transfer request. Supported characters: `[a-z][A-Z][0-9]/ - ? : ( ) . , ' + Space`. We recommend a maximum of 140 characters.

### Trigger additional reviews

To better control money movement in your marketplace, you can trigger additional reviews for transfers. Additional reviews require a member of your team to verify a transfer before Adyen processes it.

1. You can trigger an additional review by including the [review](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#request-review) object in the POST [/transfers](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers) request. In the object, specify the following parameter:

   | Parameter name                                                                                                                                   | Required                                                                                    | Description                                                                                                                                                               |   |

2. If the transfer request is successful, you receive an **HTTP 2XX** response containing transfer details, including the following parameters:

   | Parameter name                                                                                                                                         | Description                                                     |
   | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | [review.numberOfApprovalsRequired](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#responses-202-review-numberOfApprovalsRequired) | Shows the number of approvals required to process the transfer. |

   After triggering the review, a member of your team must [approve](/marketplaces/internal-fund-transfers/approve-cancel-transfers) the transfer before Adyen continues processing it.

**

### Process a transfer in a future date

1. When you make a transfer request, you can specify a future date when you want Adyen to process the transfer. You can do this by including the [executionDate](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#request-executionDate) object in the POST [/transfers](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers) request.

   If your transfer request is successful, the transfer remains in `status` **received** with `reason` **pending** until the execution date. On the execution date, between 00:00 and 03:00 - based on the time zone configured on the Balance Platform by default - Adyen verifies that:

   * The source balance account has enough funds.
   * The transfer was approved by a member of your team, if you triggered an additional review.

   If all previous conditions are satisfied, Adyen processes the transfer request.

   Adyen attempts to process the transfer only one time. In case of any errors, such as having insufficient funds in the balance account, the transfer request ends with `status` **failed**. If this happens, Adyen sends a [webhook](#get-status-updates) with details about the failure.

   To specify a future execution date, specify the following parameters:

   | [executionDate.timezone](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#request-executionDate-timezone) |                                                                                             | The timezone that applies to the execution date. Use a timezone identifier from the [tz database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones). For example: **America/Los\_Angeles**. Default value: **Europe/Amsterdam**. |

   The following code sample shows how to include the [executionDate](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#request-executionDate) object in a transfer request.

   **Specify an execution date in the future**

   ```bash
   curl https://balanceplatform-api-test.adyen.com/btl/v4/transfers \
   -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_BALANCE_PLATFORM_API_KEY' \
   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
   -X POST \
   -d '{
       "amount": {
           "value": 80000,
           "currency": "EUR"
       },
       "balanceAccountId": "BA00000000000000000000001",
       "category": "internal",
       "counterparty": {
           "balanceAccountId": "BA00000000000000000000002"
       },
       "executionDate": {
           "date": "2025-04-18",
           "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles"
       },
       "referenceForBeneficiary": "Your-reference-sent-to-the-beneficiary",
       "reference": "Your internal reference for the transfer",
       "description": "Your description for the transfer"
   }'
   ```

2. If the transfer request is successful, you receive an **HTTP 2XX** response with the transfer details and the [executionDate](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#responses-200-executionDate) object.

3. Before the execution date, you can [cancel the transfer](/marketplaces/internal-fund-transfers/approve-cancel-transfers) by making a POST [/transfers/cancel](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers/cancel) request.

## Troubleshooting

If an internal fund transfer fails, verify if there are enough funds in the source balance account:

1. Make a GET [/balanceAccounts/{id}](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/balanceplatform/latest/get/balanceAccounts/\(id\)) request, specifying the source balance account's ID in the path.

2. Check the [available](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/balanceplatform/latest/get/balanceAccounts/\(id\)#responses-200-balances-available) balance.

3. If the amount is lower than the transfer amount, you can:

   * Ask your user to [top up](/marketplaces/top-up-balance-account) their balance account.
   * Make an internal transfer from your liable balance account to your user's balance account.

If there are enough funds in the balance account, but the transfer still fails, contact our [Support Team](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/contactUs/support.shtml?form=other).

## Get updates on the status of the transfer

For every internal transfer request, Adyen sends multiple [webhooks](/marketplaces/internal-fund-transfers/internal-transfer-webhooks) to your server: a series of webhooks for the balance account where the transfer is an outgoing request, and a series of webhooks for the balance account where the transfer is an incoming request.

Using these webhooks, you can track the status of the transfer: **received**, then **authorised**, and finally **booked**. The webhooks also inform you if the transfer failed.

You can also [view the transfer details in your Customer Area](/marketplaces/view-transfers-details). Each transfer of funds between balance accounts appears in the Customer Area as two transfer entries: one for the balance account that is credited, and one for the balance account that is debited.
