* Cannot transfer a negative amount.
* `memo` must be less than 2048 bytes.
* `memo` must be UTF-8.

**`transfer_to_vesting`**

This operation can converts HIVE into VESTS (Hive Power) at the current `hive_per_vests` rate (see [DynamicGlobalProperties](/technical-informations/state-tables/dynamicglobalproperties.md)). With this operation, it is possible to give vesting shares (Hive Power) to another account.

* `amount` must be in HIVE.
* `amount` must be greater than zero.

**`transfer_to_savings`** and **`transfer_from_savings`**

A user can place Hive and Hive Dollars into time -locked savings balances. \
Transfer from an account to savings is instant.\
Funds withdrawals from the savings to an account take three days. Their execution is recorded in the blockchain with the `fill_transfer_from_saving` virtual operation (see [VOFillTransferFromSavings](/technical-informations/virtual-operations/vofilltransferfromsavings.md))

**`cancel_transfer_from_savings`**

Funds withdrawals from the savings can be canceled at any time before it is executed.
