If you want to transfer money from your bank account to someone else’s bank account, you need to add that person as a beneficiary in your account. Most bank customers are not aware that you cannot transfer funds immediately from your bank account if an individual is not on your beneficiary list. To transfer money to another person’s bank account, you need to add him/her as a beneficiary first.
