The
details object for this endpoint is the same as the one used in the List Transfer
requirements endpoint.Quotes are only valid for a limited time, so it’s recommended to proceed with the transfer promptly after obtaining
one. If the quote expires, the transfer will be created with a new generated quote; please note that the exchange
rate and fees may differ.
Example of SCA usage: Postman visual flow
This endpoint is still in beta. Please get in touch with our team if you have any question or feedback: here.
4-eyes / payment policy: if the organization has a Transfer Authorization (4-eyes) policy configured and the transfer amount — including Qonto fees — crosses the threshold, this endpoint returns
400 with code: payment_policy_approval_required or code: payment_policy_approver_missing, and the transfer is not created. In that case, resubmit the same transfer via the Qonto app — a new International Transfer Request will be created and will go through the organization’s approval workflow before the transfer is executed.Authorizations
Bearer authorization header: Bearer <token>, where <token> is the access token received from the authorization server at the end of the OAuth 2.0 flow.
Headers

Available options:
paired-device, passkey, mock, sms-otp This endpoint requires an UUID as idempotency key. Learn more in Idempotent Requests.
Example:
"123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"
