Initiate Transfer is an endpoint designed to return dynamic virtual account details for completing payment transactions. This operation collects important information to create a transfer request, including the amount, currency, and customer details.
Users or customers can use this request to generate virtual account details, facilitating the completion of payments through bank transfers. The dynamic nature of these virtual accounts means that they automatically expire after 30 minutes, ensuring enhanced security and reducing the risk of unauthorized usage.
