Maxime, you're right I didn't read the docs!

My use of the internal transfer is to transfer money from one account to another at both the same and different financial institutions. I do see what you are saying though. I have a credit card and bank account at the same FI but it can still take more than a day for money to show on my credit card whenever I pay my monthly account especially if the payment is made at a weekend or over a Bank Holiday.

If I wish to transfer money from an account at bank A to an account at bank B then I would need to create two transactions, one for each account. This is probably why your users are using internal transfers in the way that they are. I always understood that internal transfers were "internal" to me as the money being transferred was being paid to someone else.

For your information my .xhb file contains six financial institutions, although not all of them are still in use. A means of transferring money between accounts at different FIs in one transaction is a much needed requirement.
