Book Transfer

Create a book transfer

POST/transfers/book

A book transfer is a transaction between two Column accounts that you own. They can happen instantly and can be sent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Both accounts need to be under your platform, but don't need to be under the same entity. Alternatively, you can send a book transfer in two steps, using the "hold" parameter and "clear" method. Book transfers in a "hold" state can be updated and canceled. There is no reversal functionality for book transfers. Simply swap the sender_account_number_id and receiver_account_number_id and repeat the request.
