Yes, this sign is versatile and can be used for transferring money, as well as transferring between buses, changing schools, or moving to a different department at work.
For this specific variation of 'transfer', you only use your dominant hand. There are other signs for concepts like 'exchange' or 'switch' that use both hands, but this one is one-handed.
Generally, you start on your non-dominant side and move to your dominant side. However, you can modify the starting and ending points in space to show exactly where something is transferring from and to.
