How Transfers work

When a transfer is initiated, it comes with a status NEW this means the transfer has been queued for processing, and you would need to use the reference you passed to call the Fetch a Transfer endpoint to retrieve the updated status of the transfer.

What happens when a transfer is completed ?

When a transfer is completed we would push a notification to you via your Webhook You can use this to confirm the status of the transfer.

If a transfer is already being processed and it fails during processing, we would also push a hook notification to you on your specified hook URL.
