Internal transfers

Internal transfers move balance between two CBPay accounts, atomically in the ledger and always free of charge — the money never leaves the ecosystem. They work with all four currencies (USDT, USDC, BTC, GOLD) and always between balances of the same currency: the asset you send is the asset the destination receives, with no conversion. They work between any combination of accounts:

From	To	Fee
Person	Person	0
Person	Company	0
Company	Person	0
Company	Company	0

Create a transfer

The destination is identified by to_account_id, to_email, to_phone (verified phone) or to_contact_id (a contact from your book):

curl -X POST https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to_phone": "+56987654321",
    "amount": "25.000000",
    "description": "Lunch",
    "idempotency_key": "lunch-2026-07-10-a"
  }'

curl -X POST https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to_contact_id": "3f8a1b2c-…",
    "amount": "10.000000",
    "idempotency_key": "t-991"
  }'

curl -X POST https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to_email": "carlos@example.com",
    "amount": "25.000000",
    "description": "Expense split",
    "idempotency_key": "split-2026-07-06-a"
  }'

curl -X POST https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to_account_id": "ae8cf540-22a9-414d-82cc-8ac04732be4f",
    "amount": "120.500000",
    "description": "Monthly service payment",
    "idempotency_key": "serv-2026-07-a"
  }'

curl -X POST https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <company token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to_email": "employee@example.com",
    "amount": "850.000000",
    "description": "July salary",
    "idempotency_key": "payroll-2026-07-emp01"
  }'

curl -X POST https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to_email": "carlos@example.com",
    "asset": "GOLD",
    "amount": "2.500000",
    "description": "Gold gift",
    "idempotency_key": "gold-2026-07-09-a"
  }'

The request shape is identical for every combination (person or company, in any direction) — only the calling credential changes. asset is optional and defaults to USDT; it accepts USDT, USDC, BTC or GOLD, and the destination receives in that same currency. Response 201 — the transfer is synchronous and immediate:

{
  "transfer_id": "77b1…",
  "from_account_id": "…",
  "to_account_id": "…",
  "asset": "USDT",
  "amount": "25.000000",
  "description": "Expense split",
  "status": "completed",
  "created_at": "2026-07-06T20:10:00Z"
}

Replay with the same idempotency_key — 200 with the original transfer:

{
  "transfer_id": "77b1…",
  "amount": "25.000000",
  "status": "completed",
  "idempotency_hit": true
}

The recipient can be notified via the transfer_received webhook, and both sides see the movement in their history (transfer_out / transfer_in).

Every transfer saves the recipient as a contact automatically (send "save_contact": false to skip it). For safety, to_phone only resolves accounts with an OTP-verified phone; if more than one account shares the number it answers 422 recipient_ambiguous.

Querying transfers

List your account’s transfers (sent and received), with pagination and date filters:

curl "https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers?from=2026-07-01&to=2026-07-07&page_size=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Or fetch one by ID (visible only to the two parties):

curl https://api.qbank.cl/platform/v1/transfers/77b1… \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Each row carries direction (sent or received) from your perspective.

Rules

Only between active CBPay accounts; internal system accounts cannot receive.
Always the same currency on both sides: there is no conversion between balances (USDT→USDT, GOLD→GOLD, …).
You cannot transfer to yourself (400 self_transfer).
Requires idempotency_key (body or Idempotency-Key header); replays return 200 with idempotency_hit: true.
amount accepts up to the currency’s decimals: 6 for USDT/USDC/ GOLD, 8 for BTC.

404	`recipient_not_found`	The email/ID does not match a CBPay account, or no verified phone matches
