Hello, I just want to confirm that in order for a single Dwolla user to transfer funds from one funding source to another, it needs to be transferred to his Dwolla balance first?

Funding Source 1 \> Dwolla Balance \> Funding Source 2

And that this isn’t possible:

Funding Source 1 \> Funding Source 2

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi @gaby, That is correct. For example, If I want to transfer funds from my checking to savings account then then funds must be sent to the Dwolla `balance` first before going out to the savings account.
