‘Single Transfer’ is a one-time transfer. ‘Link Account’ saves the customer’s info for future use. If you plan to make multiple transfers and schedule a transfer in advance, you need to link the account. We recommend adjusting the display name for the account within 'Account Preferences' for easy recognition, and changing the order of the account so it appears at the end of your list of accounts. Once setup is complete, use ‘Funds Transfer’ to make transfers to the account you set up.

You may need to log off and log back in to see the account in the funds transfer menu.
