# Send Crypto

## Table of Endpoints

| Name       | Method | Endpoint                                | Legacy Scope               |
| :--------- | :----- | :-------------------------------------- | :------------------------- |
| Send Money | POST   | `/v2/accounts/:account_id/transactions` | `wallet:transactions:send` |

## Send Money

Send funds to a network address for any [Coinbase supported asset](https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/supported-crypto), or email address of the recipient. No transaction fees are required for off-blockchain cryptocurrency transactions.

<Check>
  **Phone number sends via the Send Money API is temporarily disabled.**

  Sends to phone numbers via the Send Money API is under reconstruction and is temporarily disabled until further notice. Sends to blockchain addresses and email addresses remain unchanged.
</Check>

The Send money API is asynchronous, which means that Coinbase may delay or cancel the send when necessary. Coinbase recommends that you poll the `status` field for the `completed` state with the [Show a Transaction API](/coinbase-app/track-apis/transactions). You can also see if a transaction is `pending` in the Send Money API response.

When used with OAuth2 authentication, this endpoint requires [two factor authentication](/coinbase-app/authentication-authorization/oauth2/2fa).
