Internal vs External Transfers

Avenue automatically detects if the destination_account_number belongs to another wallet managed by your developer account.
  • Internal Transfers: Settled instantly via the internal double-entry ledger. No fees.
  • External Transfers: Routed out via Nomba to the destination bank.

Response

All amounts and balances in this endpoint are represented in kobo (e.g., 500000 = ₦5,000.00). Ensure you do not send or expect Naira values.
