Steps
Call POST /accounts/{accountID}/transfer-options with an amount and source/destination account references to retrieve valid payment-method combinations, since not all source and destination pairings are valid on Moov
Filter available options by each account's enabled capabilities; a source account needs send-funds capability and a destination account needs collect-funds capability
Select the appropriate rail per use case from what's returned: bank accounts (same-day ACH, standard ACH, faster ACH as source), RTP or push-to-card as destination-only options, or Moov wallet-to-wallet transfers
Generate a deterministic X-Idempotency-Key, up to 36 characters with UUID v5 supported, and include it on every POST /transfers call to prevent duplicate transfers
Handle a 409 response on transfer creation as confirmation a transfer already exists for that idempotency key, rather than retrying with a new key
Account for Federal Reserve bank holidays in scheduling; transfers created on a holiday are processed the next business day, and card-sale settlement is delayed when the settlement day falls on one
Known gotchas
RTP and push-to-card appear only as destination options, not source options, so a flow should not assume any rail is bidirectional
A transfer's idempotency key must be deterministic per logical transfer; reusing a key for an intended new transfer is rejected with 409 rather than silently creating a duplicate
Transfers in a terminal failed state cannot be replayed; only non-terminal stuck transfers, such as a queued child transfer, can be replayed by Moov, while a genuinely failed transfer needs a brand-new transfer request
