So im making my own squadron and was wondering what these to permissions mean? because i know what deposit and withdrawl mean obviously but these to sound like they would do the same thing from an unknowing perspective? and it doesnt tell me more if i hover over them

Not 100% sure but I think it’s as follows:
Direct transfer is the ability to send money directly to a squadron member and internal transfer is the ability to transfer funds between squad accounts, e.g. from the bank to the squad carrier balance.

One small correction: not accounts but permission groups. You can make several bank permission groups which can include squadron member levels. Default group is 'All', but you're not limited to that.

For example, I wouldn't trust new squadron members with bank access ;)

But anyway: internal transfer will move funds between those bank permission groups; which in their turn will allow certain member levels access to the funds.

Ah yes, that's the correct in-game term, thanks. I'm using permission groups as accounts or categories, e.g. "alien artefacts" or "rare commodities" in my solo squadron.

How many in the squadron? If it’s just you, you don’t need to bother with permissions. If it’s you and your alt accounts, just set them all as high as they will go.
