Transfers

(transfers)

Overview

A transfer is the movement of money between Moov accounts, from source to destination. You can initiate a transfer to another Moov account as long as there is a linked and verified payment method.

With Moov, you can also implement transfer groups, allowing you to associate multiple transfers together and run them sequentially. To learn more, read our guide on transfer groups.

You can simulate various RTP, push to card, ACH, and declined transfer scenarios in test mode. See our test mode guide for more information.

Available Operations

create_transfer

Move money by providing the source, destination, and amount in the request body. Read our transfers overview guide to learn more.

If you are running a server-side integration, you will use your API keys per our authentication guidelines.

If you are running a client-side integration, you'll need to specify the /accounts/{yourAccountID}/transfers.write scope when generating a token. The accountID included must be your accountID. You can find your accountID on the Business details page.

list_transfers_for_account

List all the transfers associated with a particular Moov account. Read our transfers overview guide to learn more.

To access this endpoint using a token you'll need to specify the /accounts/{accountID}/transfers.read scope. The accountID included must match the accountID being requested.

When you run this request, you retrieve 200 transfers at a time. You can advance past a results set of 200 transfers by using the skip parameter (for example, if you set skip= 10, you will see a results set of 200 transfers after the first 2000). If you are searching a high volume of transfers, the request will likely process very slowly. To achieve faster performance, restrict the data as much as you can by using the StartDateTime and EndDateTime parameters for a limited period of time. You can run multiple requests in smaller time window increments until you've retrieved all the transfers you need.

Example Usage

import moov
from moov import Moov
import os

s = Moov(
    gateway_auth=os.getenv("MOOV_GATEWAY_AUTH", ""),
)

res = s.transfers.list_transfers_for_account(request={
