# Clear a held realtime transfer

**POST** `/transfers/realtime/{realtime_transfer_id}/clear`

Release the hold on a realtime transfer in a `hold` state. For an outgoing transfer the rail (FedNow or RTP) is selected at clear time and the transfer is sent, with the held funds debited directly from the holding balance. For an incoming transfer the received funds move from the holding balance into the available balance and the transfer completes; nothing is sent to the network.

### Path Parameters

- `realtime_transfer_id` `string` _(required)_ — Unique identifier for the realtime transfer.

**Request**

```shell
curl 'https://api.column.com/transfers/realtime/<realtime_transfer_id>/clear' \
  -XPOST \
  -u :<YOUR API KEY>
```

**Response 200**
