# Initiate Interledger Transaction

`POST /wallets/send/inter/initiate`

An *Inter*ledger transaction is one that you use to send funds between two identities of different categories, i.e. either between yourself (a corporate) and a consumer, or vice versa. When moving funds between your corporate and a consumer, the initiate -> verify steps are followed, however no SMS OTP is sent for verification and the default verification code of '123456' will pass. Your corporate is already authenticated by means of having a valid API key.
