Before making an Interac e-Transfer, take precautions

 

Did you know that an Interac e-Transfer can't be cancelled or modified once the funds are deposited by the recipient? Before making a transaction, please make sure that you:

  • Only transfer money to people you know and trust

  • Double check the recipient's information (mobile phone number or email address) 

  • Ask a security question that cannot be easily guessed or found (do not communicate this answer to the recipient by text or email), for transfers made via a security question
