The Autodeposit feature allows you to have money sent via Interac e-Transfer automatically deposited directly into your bank account, without having to answer a security question. The Autodeposit feature continues to provide the value of Interac e-Transfer, without the need to share financial information.

For senders, there is added convenience of not needing to convey security answers while continuing to have the security of knowing who is receiving the funds, prior to sending.

Easily request money you are owed with the Interac e-Transfer Request Money feature. When you send a request for money, the recipient is notified instantly and can accept the request. If accepted, the requested amount will be automatically deposited into your account and you will be notified when funds are available.

The recipient will have 5 attempts to answer the security question that the sender has setup. If the question is answered incorrectly 5 times, the e-Transfer is cancelled, along with any other e-Transfers between the two parties. The $1.00 fee is not refunded.

If an email address or mobile number is incorrect, the e-Transfer will still be sent to the address or number that the sender configured. If the sender realizes this, the e-Transfer can be cancelled at any time by logging in to Carpathia Online, clicking the ‘e-Transfers’ link, and clicking ‘View/Resend/Cancel Pending Transfers’. If the email address or phone number is unreachable (i.e. does not exist), you will see that the Recipient Notification has been rejected in the sender’s e-Transfer page and the sender will receive a text/email message regarding the failure.

If an e-Transfer is cancelled either by the sender or receiver, the funds are returned to the sender’s account immediately. The $1.00 e-Transfer fee is non-refunded.

Log in to Carpathia Online and click the ‘e-Transfers’ link on the left-hand side. From here, you can click the on links to view transfer and pending transfers information.

If an e-Transfer expires (30 days is the default expiry period), the recipient will receive an alert and the funds will be re-deposited to the sender’s account on the expiry date. The $1.00 fee is not refunded.

An e-Transfer recipient can still receive funds if his or her financial institution does not participate in the e-Transfer program. When viewing an incoming e-Transfer, the recipient can choose ‘Other Options’ to setup an e-Transfer account with Interac. This option requires information from the recipient’s financial institution such as transit and account numbers, as well as a host of personal information.

Recipients can still receive the money by registering with Interac and providing their banking information. The deposit usually takes four to six business days and Interac charges a $4.00 administration fee, which is deducted from the total amount of the transfer.

Yes, provided you have an account at a Canadian financial institution. However, you'll have to register with Interac and provide your banking information. The deposit usually takes four to six business days and Interac charges a $4.00 administration fee, which is deducted from the total amount of the transfer.

This is the short code from which all Interac® e-Transfer text notifications are sent.

If you provide only a landline as the way to notify a recipient, you'll be informed that the transfer could not be completed. You'll need to provide new contact information – either a mobile phone number or email. If, however, you provide a landline and an email, the recipient will be notified via email.

No. In order to send and/or receive Interac® e-Transfer, both senders and recipients must have accounts at Canadian financial institutions. The transfer must also be in Canadian dollars.

For recipients, it takes approximately 30 minutes for notifications to be received. As soon as the notification is received, the recipient can deposit the money. As a sender, the money is debited from your account immediately after finalizing the transfer.

The notification will be sent to that phone number; however, that person will not be able to deposit the transfer because they will not know the answer to the security question. Recipients must correctly answer a security question before they can deposit the money.

If the business requires only one signing authority, then they may get access to send e-Transfers. Fees and limits are the same for personal and business users. Any account that requires two signatures may not sign up to send e-Transfers.
