# 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"**.

```
GET https://vesselfinance.gitbook.io/vessel/mainnet-user-guide/internal-transfer-send-to-vessels-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
