The Transfer object
Description
A transfer is a request to relocate funds from one wallet to another in the same currency. To convert funds between wallets of different currencies, see Conversions.
Note – SCA applies to Owner-initiated transfers
Transfers between two different users with the UserCategory of OWNER are in scope of SCA. Unless Mangopay can apply an exemption (such as for low-amount or low-risk transfers), these transfers require your platform to redirect the user to a Mangopay-hosted webpage where they can authenticate.
The parameter ScaContext allows your platform to introduce SCA on these transfers with the value USER_PRESENT, and to declare other transfers as not requiring SCA redirection with the value USER_NOT_PRESENT.

Attributes
Possible values: USER_PRESENT, USER_NOT_PRESENT
The SCA context of the request, which is required if the debited wallet owner's UserCategory is OWNER:
USER_PRESENT– The user is taking the SCA-triggering action of initiating a transfer. The platform must redirect the user using thePendingUserAction.RedirectUrlreturned so that the user can complete the SCA session (unless Mangopay applied an exemption for low-amount and low-risk transfers, so no redirection link was returned).USER_NOT_PRESENT– The platform is taking the action under proxy from the user and the user has previously given consent to Mangopay (via the SCA hosted experience) to allow the action. If the user has not given (or has revoked) their consent, thenUSER_NOT_PRESENTreturns a 403 error.

Note: For existing platforms, the parameter is technically optional if the debited wallet owner's UserCategory is OWNER, and the default value will become USER_PRESENT from Dec 15, 2025 (Dec 1 in Sandbox)
