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 the $ symbol > Transfer Money > tap the Add a Recipient icon in the top right-hand corner
Enter the name and email of the person you want to send money
Enter the amount you want to send
Select e-Transfer
If the person you're sending funds to is also on KOHO, you can send them a free, instant KOHO to KOHO (K2K) transfer.
You will then be prompted to create a Security Question and Answer
Carefully review all the details you entered, as you will not be able to change the name of a Recipient once created

It may take 30 - 90 minutes for the recipient to receive your e-Transfer
🙋 Just a heads up that the e-Transfer will come from KOHO Financial Inc. In the message details, your name will be in parentheses.
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 3 - 40 characters.
