# Internal Transfer - Send to Vessel's User

Internal transfer offers a secure and efficient method to transfer assets between registered Vessel users within Vessel Finance. Several key advantages are:

* **Lower Fees**: Reduced transaction costs compared to external transfers.
* **Faster Speed**: Near-instant settlement between accounts.

## Prerequisites

Before initiating an internal transfer, please ensure:

* Both sender and recipient must have completed on-chain registration in Vessel Finance.
* Sending must have a sufficient balance in the Vessel account.
* Must have a valid recipient address.

## On-Chain Registration

### Option 1: Register Vessel on the First Deposit (Recommended)

This method combines registration with your first Vessel deposit transaction, saving gas fees.

* Click the "Deposit" button anywhere on Vessel.
* Complete your first deposit by following the instructions in the [Deposit Guide](/vessel/mainnet-user-guide/deposit.md), which will automatically include your On-Chain Registration.

### Option 2: Register via Account Settings

* Move your mouse to the account information in the top-right corner of the screen and select **"Register On-Chain"**.
