What is the difference between Verified vs. Unverified Funding Source functionality?

**Summary**  
A client or end user can initiate transfers to any funding source, whether verified or unverified. If a client or end user wants to debit a funding source (i.e., initiate a pull from an external funding source into a Dwolla Balance), that funding source must be verified.

Funding source verification can be accomplished either (1) by using instant account verification via a third party provider or (2) initiating micro-deposits for bank verification.

**Note:** [Funding source verification](https://developers.dwolla.com/concepts/bank-funding-source#bank-addition--verification-methods) is separate from [customer verification](https://developers.dwolla.com/concepts/customer-types#verified-customer).
