# Transfer Funds to a Partner

<a href="https://pxa.impact.com/student/activity/1117596?sid=0c0e3e5c-54c9-4435-9bee-ebcdccb7f292&#x26;sid_i=0?utm_source=app.impact.com&#x26;utm_medium=owned-platform&#x26;utm_content=con-350&#x26;utm_campaign=help-center" class="button primary">Take the PXA course</a>

Use Partner Funds Transfers (PFTs) to send money to your partners outside of a contract's payout terms, such as for *bonus payouts* to partners with outstanding commissions. PFTs are billed against the [Payment Processing Volume (PPV)](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/your-subscription/how-are-volume-usage-rates-calculated) of the *month* in which they are processed (captured into the system), not the invoice month, scheduled month, or clearing month. For example, if you schedule a PFT in January with a clearing date in March, but it’s processed in January, the value counts toward January’s PPV.

You can view your scheduled PFTs via two reports: [Upcoming Partner Payments Report](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/finance-reporting/upcoming-partner-payments-report) and [Usage Volume by Status & Transaction Type](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/your-subscription/view-your-usage-volume-by-status-and-transaction-type).
