* `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](https://docs.hivesql.io/technical-informations/state-tables/dynamicglobalproperties)). With this operation, it is possible to give vesting shares (Hive Power) to another account.

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](https://docs.hivesql.io/technical-informations/virtual-operations/vofilltransferfromsavings))

**`cancel_transfer_from_savings`**

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