# Standard Transfer Async v1.2
> Use this API to initiate an amount transfer request at Cashfree by providing beneficiary id, amount, and transfer id. This is an async transfer request.
This API will be retired soon. Please plan to migrate to the latest version, [Transfers V2](/api-reference/payouts/v2/transfers-v2/get-transfer-status-v2).
Once you trigger the requestAsyncTransfer API, Cashfree Payments verifies your request and returns the Cashfree referenceId. The transfer to beneficiary account will be attempted within the next 60 seconds and you may query the transfer status after 60 seconds.
Use this API to process very high volumes.
**Benefits**:
1. The API response is much faster for the async transfer endpoint. The async transfer response takes \<100 ms as compared to a median value of 2-5 sec for the sync payout transfer API.
2. The asynchronous API can handle a higher TPM (transactions per minute) as compared to the synchronous API. The async API allows us to handle up to 1000 transactions per minute.
Please use this Authorization token in headers to call any payout API (Refresh this page if the token is expired)
