An inter account transfer is the movement of money from one bank or cash account of a business entity to another. No funds enter or leave the business. A transfer is not possible unless the business has at least two bank or cash accounts. Examples of transfers include:

• Withdrawing cash from a bank account for a petty cash fund
• Paying off a business credit card from a company bank account (remembering that, technically, money left the business when the credit card was used to pay an expense)
• Moving money from a general purpose bank account to a payroll account
