# TransferFailed (/docs/errors/chain/TransferFailed)

A balance transfer performed during the contract call failed, most likely because the sender lacks enough free balance. Check the transferring account's free balance against the `value` being sent, accounting for the existential deposit.

Declared by the `Contracts` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`insufficient_balance`](/docs/errors/insufficient-balance).

## Remediation [#remediation]
