What does con tal de que mean in this sentence?

Con tal de que means provided that, as long as, or on condition that.

In this sentence, it introduces a condition:

• Transfiero fondos con tal de que todo sea correcto.
• I transfer funds provided that everything is correct.

It is a fixed expression, so learners should try to recognize it as a whole rather than translate each word separately.

Why is it sea and not es?

Because con tal de que normally requires the subjunctive.

So:

• sea = subjunctive of ser
• es = indicative of ser

The subjunctive is used here because the speaker is talking about a condition that must be met, not stating a plain fact.

Compare:

• Todo es correcto. = Everything is correct.
  
  • simple statement of fact
• Con tal de que todo sea correcto... = Provided that everything be/is correct.
  
  • condition, so subjunctive

This is one of the most important things to notice in the sentence.
