New Transfer
A guided wizard (mfi.pesalink.transfer.wizard) for sending a single PesaLink interbank transfer to another bank account. It validates the destination bank, beneficiary account and amount, then builds the ISO 20022 payment instruction for submission. The wizard is the safe, validated front door to outbound PesaLink payments.

Workflow
- Open New Transfer under the PesaLink menu.
- Select the destination bank and enter the beneficiary account number.
- Capture the amount, currency and a payment narrative.
- Confirm the resolved beneficiary name returned by the rail.
- Submit to create a tracked mfi.pesalink.transaction record.
