Fincra Account to Account Transfer

You can transfer money directly from your available balance to other Fincra merchants. We call these Fincra transfers and this can be achieved by making use of the Fincra transfer API.

Fincra transfers can only be made from one account to another if their base currencies are the same i.e You can only make a payout from your NGN balance to another NGN balance and not from your NGN balance to a EUR balance.

📘

Note

Transfers from one Fincra account to another are free of charge

Webhooks are not sent for these transfers, you are admonished to make use of the response object you get when you make a transfer from your balance to another balance.

How to make a transfer to another Fincra account:

The following steps need to be taken in order to process payments to another user on Fincra

1 - Topup

You can fund your balance by making deposits into your account or by requesting a manual top-up. You can create a virtual account to fund your wallet/account using our virtual account creation endpoints.
