# Create transfer transaction

`PUT /companies/{companyId}/sync/expenses/transfer-transactions/{transactionId}`

Use the *Create transfer* endpoint to create or update a [transfer transaction](https://docs.codat.io/sync-for-expenses-api#/schemas/TransferTransactionRequest) in the accounting software for a given company's connection. 

Transfers record the movement of money between two bank accounts, or between a bank account and a nominal account. Use them to represent actions such as topping up a debit card account or a balance transfer to another credit card.

The `from.amount` and `to.amount` fields are in the native currency of the account.
