financial transfers

Funds changing hands

Financial transfers are movements of money from one party to another—between individuals, institutions, or accounts.

The term covers everything from wire transfers and direct deposits to remittances sent across borders.

In economics, transfer payments like Social Security or unemployment benefits move funds without exchange of goods or services: The government processes millions of financial transfers daily.
