  • Any money available in the Wallet will be reimbursed to the Accounts Receivable. A maximum reimbursement can be defined in the Wallet Definition.
Transfer Money
  • The amount of money to be transferred must be less than or equal to the Balance of the Wallet; Wallet amounts that have allotments (i.e. restrictions on how they can be spent) then they are not considered as available to be transferred. For example, if out of a total Wallet Balance of €30, €20 are allotted (can only be spent) on Product A, then, €10 is the maximum amount that can be transferred, provided it is not subject to any other spending condition.
  • Money can only be transferred from and to 'Effective' Wallets

When a Wallet Transfer Transaction takes place, two additional Wallet Transactions are created:

  • A Debit Wallet Transaction with reference to the source Wallet and to the amount to be subtracted from it
  • A Credit Wallet Transaction with reference to the destination Wallet and the amount to be added to it 
    Both the Debit and Credit Wallet Transactions are related to the Wallet Transfer Transaction and are of the same amount.
    Note that as only money with no spending conditions (Allotments) can be transferred, resulting debit and credit Wallet transactions have no allotments and the transferred money can be used without restrictions.

Wallet Transfer Transactions affect the Balance of both the Wallet FROM which money is transferred and the Wallet TO which the money is transferred.
