You can make a payment from your bank account to another account without needing to worry about writing a check or handling cash. A bank transfer is a simple, safe and easy way to settle a bill, move money between accounts you own, or send a payment to a friend. The exact steps you'll need to take to transfer money from one bank to another may vary depending on the account you hold, and the method of transfer you choose. There are various transfer methods, so doing a little research can help you select one which suits your needs. This may be in person at a bank branch, through mobile, online or phone banking with your regular bank, or via a third party provider. If you're sending a domestic transfer, using your own bank's online or mobile banking service is usually the cheapest and quickest option.
