Just a heads up, your KOHO account will need to be fully verified first before you can send an e-Transfer from KOHO.
To send an e-Transfer
🎯 If you're sending money to an email address already associated with a KOHO account, the funds will default to their KOHO account unless you choose to "Send an e-Transfer instead" on the last confirmation page.
In the KOHO app, tap Send Money. Or on KOHO Web, go to Send Money > Choose the amount you wish to send > Choose the recipient > Select a question and answer > Send.
Enter the name and email of the person you want to send money
Enter the amount you want to send
Kindly be aware that you can only send funds from your Spendable balance; Cover funds are not eligible for e-transfers (including K2K transfers).
You will then be prompted to create a Security Question and Answer if the recipient doesn't have auto-deposit enabled
If the person you're sending funds to is also on KOHO, you can send them a free, instant KOHO to KOHO (K2K) transfer
Carefully review all the details you entered, as you will not be able to change the name of a Recipient once created
Click Send
All set! You will receive a confirmation email to the address we have on file for you once it's been successfully deposited.
If you are having trouble sending an e-Transfer, check that:
All fields entered, such as recipient's name, security question and security answer are between 5 - 40 characters.

You can try to cancel and resubmit the e-transfer
If the recipient has an alternate email address, try cancelling your current transfer and sending it to that one instead
