Braintree - create transaction with money transfer

Question

I have a marketplace like rental app. I'm currently deciding between Stripe and Braintree. To create a transaction through Braintree, we use Transaction.sale() (API). The equivalent for this in Stripe is charge, and when creating the charge there is a field transfer_data (API) where we can specify a customer account to transfer part of the money to. Is there an equivalent of this for Braintree (without using Braintree marketplace)?

The only way to transfer to a sub-merchant is using the merchantAccountId parameter. There is not a way to transfer funds to a customer account outside of marketplace. New merchants not already integrated with Braintree Marketplace should contact our Sales team to get started.
