# Updating routes

To update an existing route, initiate a micro-transfer to @xfer using the following structured memo:

`{"cmd":"UPD", "route":"[name]","target":"[recipient]","memo":"[memo]"}`

If the route doesn’t exist, @xfer will send you back en (encrypted) error message.

*Examples:*

* `{"cmd":"UPD","route":"binance","target":"bdhivesteem","memo":"789654321"}`\
  \&#xNAN;*updates the previously created “binance” route and changes the recipient to @bdhivesteem as well as the memo*
