> The "Transfer of funds between accounts and cash desks" document records the movement of money within the company without separate payment transactions. Open "Finance → Other cash operations → Create", select this document, specify the amount, currency, the source and recipient account or cash desk, and save.

## When you need a transfer between accounts and cash desks

You need a transfer when money moves inside the company: from a current account to a [cash desk](https://bimpsoft.com/en/help/getting-started/bank-accounts-and-cash-desks/), between cash desks, or from one bank account to another. The document does not create payments to counterparties; it only changes the balances of the source and the recipient. If the currencies differ, use [currency exchange](https://bimpsoft.com/en/help/finance/currency-exchange/).

## How to create a transfer

1. Open **Finance → Other cash operations** and click **Create**.
2. In the list, select **Transfer of funds between accounts and cash desks**.
3. Fill in the main fields: "Comment" (optional), "Responsible", "Document number" (Bimp assigns it after saving, or enter your own), "Creation date" (the current date by default; you can change it).
4. On the right, specify "Transfer amount" and "Currency".
5. In the "Transfer from cash desk/account" block, select the settlement type, **Non-cash** or **Cash**, and the account or cash desk the money is debited from.
6. In the "Transfer to cash desk/account" block, select the settlement type in the same way, and the recipient's account or cash desk.
7. Check the amount in the "Will be credited" line and save the document.

> [!TIP] Even if Bimp fills in the settlement type based on previous operations, check it: it determines which accounts or cash desks are available in the list.

## What happens after saving

The source balance decreases and the recipient balance increases by the transfer amount. The document is visible in the **Finance → Transactions** list. You can also create a transfer from a bank statement on the "Transfer" tab of the allocation panel: see [Allocating bank statement transactions](https://bimpsoft.com/en/help/finance/bank-statement-processing/).

## FAQ

**How is a transfer different from a currency exchange?**

A transfer moves money in one currency, while a currency exchange moves it between accounts in different currencies and records the exchange rate and the exchange rate difference.

**Can I transfer money from an account to a cash desk?**

Yes. For the source and for the recipient, select the settlement type "Non-cash" or "Cash" separately, and then the corresponding account or cash desk.
