Like the previous answer said, you will need ABA and account numbers for both your and your friend's account to complete the transfer.



There are a few ways you can accomplish this:

Wire transfer usually around $20 per transfer.

ACH transfer usually free or less than wire transfer, but not every institution handles this way.

Check a first class stamp or the cost of gas driving to your friend's place. (maybe a few bucks for pizza and beer if you decided to hang out).



Best wishes.
