Learn how to transfer both fiat and crypto on the platform.
One of the key functions of the Cybrid platform is enabling the transfer of funds, which includes both fiat currencies such as USD and CAD, and cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and USDC. This comprehensive fund transfer functionality is provided through our /api/transfers endpoint, which can be explored in detail using our Swagger API documentation. In this article, we will provide an overview of this transfer functionality and the benefits it offers to users and developers.
Type of Transfers
Transfers are broken into the following types:
Type of Transfer | Description |
Funding | Handles fiat deposits and withdraws to Plaid connected bank accounts, either triggering an EFT/ACH to move money. |
Book | Handles internal Book transfers to move money between accounts on the Cybrid Platform. Typically used when a Partner is using a pre-funded account model instead of the Plaid-Connect model. More details in the guide What does the trade process look like? |
