INTERAC E-TRANSFER

   
 * What is Interac e-Transfer?
   
   Interac e-Transfer is a fast, secure and convenient way to send money to
   anyone in Canada using online banking. The participating bank or credit union
   transfers the funds using established and secure banking procedures.
   Transfers are almost instant, but can take up to 30 minutes depending on your
   bank or credit union.
   
   Visit our Interac e-Transfer page for step-by-step instructions on how it
   works.

 * Help, I sent money via an Interac e-Transfer and I need to speak with
   someone. Who do I contact?
   
   Please contact your bank or credit union to troubleshoot any transactions in
   progress. The contact information is usually on the back of your Interac
   debit card. You can also use this Interac e-Transfer form.

 * Is paying with Interac e-Transfer the same as paying by Interac Debit or
   Interac Debit for online payments?
   
   No. While all three methods allow you to directly pay with funds from your
   own bank account, Interac e-Transfer electronically transfers money from your
   bank account to another one. Interac Debit and Interac Debit for online
   payments uses a different method of payment.

   Exact steps vary by individual bank or credit union, but the process will
   always be simple. Just log into your online bank account, navigate to the
   Interac e-Transfer section and follow the instructions.

 * How do I cancel an Interac e-Transfer transaction?
   
   To cancel a transfer, log into your online bank account. Go to the
   transaction or payment history and select the Interac e-Transfer transaction
   you wish to cancel. Use the cancel option provided. This process varies by
   financial institution, who may also charge a cancellation fee. Contact your
   bank or credit union for more information.

 * I need to cancel a transfer, but the recipient has already accepted the
   deposit. How do I reverse an Interac e-Transfer transaction?
   
   Unfortunately, once a deposit has been made there is no way to reverse the
   transaction. You’ll have to make arrangements directly with the recipient.
   You should only send money transfers to parties you know and trust. For most
   Interac e-Transfer uses (sending money to family and friends, repaying IOUs,
   sending money as gifts, etc.), you will know the recipient well. For uses
   where you may not know the recipient (e.g., online auction purchases), take
   the same precautions you would take when making cash purchases. For online
   auctions and purchases, be sure to read and follow any steps recommended by
   the operators of these websites to safely transact.

 * I received a notification that I’m being sent money via Interac e-Transfer.
   How do I deposit the funds?
   
   When someone sends you money via Interac e-Transfer, you will receive an
   email or text message that a transfer has been sent to you. The notification
   includes information such as:
   
    * Sender’s name
    * Transfer amount
    * A link to deposit your transfer to your bank account
   
   The fastest way to get your funds is through your financial institution’s
   online or mobile banking service. Simply click the link in the notification,
   select your bank or credit union, login to online or mobile banking and
   deposit the money into the account of your choice. If you cannot click on the
   link, either cut and paste or type the link into your browser. You will be
   prompted to enter the answer to a security question set by the sender, as
   part of the secure login process. Alternatively, Autodeposit is an Interac
   e-Transfer feature that allows users to register to have incoming Interac
   e–Transfer funds deposited directly into their bank account – no security
   question and answer needed. Learn more about Interac e-Transfer enhanced
   features below.

 * How secure is it to send money by email or text message through Interac
   e-Transfer?
   
   You are not sending money by email or text message: Only the notification
   travels over the Internet to advise the recipient that the transfer has been
   initiated and to provide instructions on how to deposit the money. The money
   always resides safely at a financial institution and is transferred through
   existing payment networks that banks and credit unions have used for years to
   settle cheques, bank machine deposits and withdrawals. Security measures have
   been built into the system, including:
   
    * Encryption technology
    * Confidential user IDs and passwords issued by financial institutions
    * Secure login process
    * A security question and answer to ensure only the intended recipient
      receives the money
    * 128-bit browser encryption

   Like most financial transactions, there are limits on the amount you can
   send. Each financial institution sets their own. Please contact your bank or
   credit union for details.

 * I received an Interac e-Transfer text message, but did not opt-in to this
   service. How do I stop receiving them?
   
   You received a text notification because the sender selected “text message”
   to send you money via Interac e-Transfer. We recommend you provide the sender
   with your email address instead for sending.
   
   To permanently stop all text notifications from Interac e-Transfer, reply to
   an Interac e-Transfer text with the message STOP (or text STOP to 100001).
   Please note: Once stopped, text message notifications cannot be reinstated
   for all transactions moving forward. Standard text messaging rates apply.

 * Can I respond to an Interac e-Transfer text message?
   
   Yes, you can either reply to the text message or send a message to 100001.
   There are two responses our system recognizes (standard text messaging
   charges apply):
   
   Type “Help” into the text message:
   
   This will result in a text message back to you with the URL for this website
   interac.ca. You will be instructed to click on the link or paste it into your
   browser.
   
   Type “Stop” into the text message:
   
   This will permanently stop all text message notifications from Interac
   e-Transfer. Once stopped, text message notifications cannot be re-instated.

 * Can I send money via Interac e-Transfer through this website?
   
   No. The only way you can send money with Interac e-Transfer is through a
   participating bank or credit union’s online banking system. This allows the
   financial institution to identify you and process the transfer instantly.
   Check to make sure your bank or credit union offers Interac e-Transfer. If
   so, you can sign up for online banking on their website or contact them
   directly for more details.

 * What happens if I send money via Interac e-Transfer to a landline number?
   
   If you also provided an email address, the recipient will be notified by
   email. Otherwise, you may be informed that the transfer notification could
   not be delivered. If this is the case, you will be directed to either reclaim
   your transfer or correct the contact information of your recipient.

 * I tried sending an Interac e-Transfer notification to a mobile phone number,
   but received an email and/or text message saying it did not go through. Why?
   
   Always make sure you have entered the correct mobile phone number each time
   you wish to send money via Interac e-Transfer. It’s possible you received the
   notification because:
   
    * The phone number entered is a land line.
    * You entered a non-Canadian mobile phone number.
    * The recipient has blocked Interac e-Transfer notifications from being sent
      to his/her mobile phone number.
    * The recipient is encountering technical issues on his/her mobile phone and
      therefore the message cannot be delivered (e.g., mobile network
      unavailable)
    * The Mobile Network Operator does not support all text messages

 * Can I accept an Interac e-Transfer without a Canadian bank account?
   
   If you have received an Interac e-Transfer and do not have an account with a
   participating Canadian bank, ask your sender to cancel the transfer. Once the
   transfer is cancelled, the funds will be returned to the sender’s account. If
   you are unable to contact your sender, the transfer will expire in
   approximately 30 days. Once the transfer expires, the money is automatically
   deposited into the sender’s account.

   If your bank or credit union doesn’t offer Interac e-Transfer, you cannot
   receive funds. Please contact your bank or financial institution for
   additional information.

 * What if I don’t want to accept the funds sent to me via Interac e-Transfer?
   
   Please note the experience will vary by participating financial institution.
   There are two options:
   
    1. You can simply ignore notifications until the transaction expires (30
       days). Upon expiration, funds that were sent will automatically be
       redeposited into the sender’s account.
       
       You will have to take this option if your bank does not offer the option
       to decline in their system.
       
    2. If your bank or credit union does provide an option to decline, you
       follow these steps:
       * Click the deposit link found inside the email or text notification
       * Select your financial institution to deposit the funds to
       * Login to your financial institution’s mobile/online banking portal
       * Answer the security question
       * Select “decline”
       * You will also have the option to provide a message back to the sender,
         upon declining
   
   Contact your bank or credit union directly for more information.

 * What if I don’t know the answer to the security question or I use the wrong
   answer multiple times?
   
   If you don’t know the answer to the security question, contact the sender. If
   you answer the security question incorrectly more than three times, the
   Interac e-Transfer transaction will automatically cancel.

INTERAC E-TRANSFER SECURITY

   
 * What is email fraud, phishing or spearphishing, SEO poisoning, or SMS
   phishing?
   
   Phishing is a scam where fraudsters attempt to acquire personal and/or
   financial information like passwords, card numbers, etc., by masquerading as
   a trustworthy person or business through electronic communications. Phishing
   is typically carried out using email or an instant message, although phone
   contact has been used as well.
   
   In some instances, the fraudster sends authentic-looking emails or text
   messages (smishing) that appear to come from legitimate companies, requesting
   recipients to disclose personal and/or financial information that is later
   used to commit fraud.
   
   Be suspicious if you receive a notification you weren’t expecting that money
   has been sent via Interac e–Transfer. Contact the sender to confirm. If you
   can’t confirm, please forward the notification to phishing@interac.ca
   immediately.

 * I have been offered a job as an e-Transfer agent. Does Interac work with
   e-Transfer businesses?
   
   No. Interac does not hire transfer agents. There have been instances of
   employment recruitment scams in which Canadian job hunters are hired as
   agents for “foreign companies”. In fact, the job hunters may actually end up
   being used as “mules” to transfer stolen funds outside of Canada. Anyone who
   participates, even unknowingly, could be deemed an accomplice to a crime and
   may be prosecuted. We urge you to fully investigate any such job offers.

 * How do these e-Transfer business scams work?
   
   In the typical scenario, the “employer” poses on job recruitment websites as
   a legitimate foreign company looking for an agent to represent them in
   Canada. The job is to accept payment from Canadian customers and transfer
   proceeds offshore. The employer indicates that a key qualification is to have
   access to an online bank account and receive Interac e-Transfer funds.
   
   Once the employee receives the funds, he or she is instructed to transfer the
   money via a wire transfer service. As compensation, the employee or “transfer
   agent” is paid a percentage of the funds. This is often a front for an
   illegal operation.

   Always be careful when sending money online.  Like using cash, you should
   send money transfers only to parties you know and trust, for example, sending
   money to family and friends back home, repaying IOUs, sending monetary gifts,
   etc. For uses where you may not know the recipient well, take the precautions
   you would normally take when making cash purchases.

INTERAC DEBIT CHIP AND PIN & CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS

   
 * How do Interac Debit Chip and PIN and contactless payment transactions work?
   
   Interac Debit Chip and PIN and contactless transactions are approved by your
   bank or credit union through secure online systems in real-time. Transactions
   appear instantly on your bank account records, allowing you to monitor your
   available balance so you can keep track of your spending.

 * How secure are Interac Debit and contactless payments?
   
   Security is important to us. Chip-enabled Interac Debit and contactless
   enabled cards are extremely secure and protected from fraud tactics such as
   skimming, duplicating and electronic pickpocketing. When you make a payment,
   the only data transmitted consists of payment transaction codes, not
   confidential details about your bank account. Transactions occur in real
   time, so no information can be captured by criminals to conduct fraudulent
   transactions or commit identity theft.

 * What safeguards are in place with Interac Debit Chip and PIN and contactless
   payments to protect me against fraudulent transactions?
   
   Interac Debit Chip and PIN and contactless payments are extremely secure with
   sophisticated safeguards and fraud detection tools in place to protect you:
   
    * Interac debit cards use EMV secure chip processing to store and process
      data securely. This makes it next to impossible to create counterfeit
      cards and protects you against fraud tactics such as skimming, transaction
      replay and electronic pickpocketing.
    * When you use Interac Debit on your mobile device, you enjoy the same
      security features as your Interac debit card, as well as your device’s
      standard security measures such as passcode or biometric ID verification.
    * Transaction limits are set at up to $250 per transaction.  There is also
      added protection of a cumulative contactless limit set by individual banks
      or credit unions.  A cumulative limit is the maximum contactless spend
      limit that can be done by an individual Interac debit card before the user
      is promoted to reset the limit with a Chip and PIN transaction. This
      confirms that you are the authorized cardholder.
   
   You are also protected from any losses due to unauthorized transactions under
   the Interac Zero Liability Policy. If your card is lost or stolen, contact
   your bank or credit union right away.

 * What does “provided you took reasonable measures to protect your card and
   PIN” mean?
   
   While there are multiple safeguards in place, as an Interac debit cardholder,
   you also play an important role in protecting yourself from fraud:
   
    * Only you should use your Interac debit card or mobile device to make
      purchases.
    * Choose a PIN that’s difficult for others to guess, avoiding obvious
      numbers like your telephone number or birthdate, and don’t share it with
      anyone. 
    * Check your bank statements regularly and immediately report any unusual
      activity to your bank or credit union.
    * If your card is lost or stolen, contact your bank or credit union right
      away.

TRANSIT OPEN PAYMENTS

   
 * What are Transit Open Payments?
   
   Transit Open Payments or open payment fare systems provide the ability for
   transit riders to tap a payment card or a mobile wallet at fare readers
   without the need to use a transit fare card or transit app to pay for their
   fare. Interac is enabling the ability for a debit card or mobile wallet
   supported by Interac® Debit to be used for this purpose.

 * Are Transit Open Payments going to be available with all transit authorities
   in all cities in Canada?
   
   While many large cities internationally have implemented support for Transit
   Open Payments, implementation plans are based on transit authorities,
   municipalities and government agencies. Interac is involved in discussions
   with a number of transit authorities across Canada that have expressed
   interest in implementing Transit Open Payments.

 * How do I pay my fare using Interac Debit at participating transit locations?
   
   To pay your fare, you simply tap your payment credential (e.g. debit card or
   mobile wallet) on the transit fare reader and enter the transit system.
   
   Transit authorities may deploy a fixed fare or variable fare (e.g. based on
   distance travelled or time) payment model. Under each payment model, customer
   rules around tapping upon entry of transit system or transferring vary across
   transit authorities. Please contact your local transit authority for
   information. The transit authority will automatically calculate the fare and
   process it through your financial institution, normally the same day or by
   the next day.

 * I was prompted to receive a one-time Verification Code or to call my bank.
   What is this and why is it required?
   
   For security purposes, your financial institution may ask you to enter a
   one-time Verification Code to confirm your identity. This code is a unique
   series of numbers and/or letters that you can choose to receive via email or
   text. If prompted, please select how you wish to receive the one-time
   Verification Code and then enter that code into the appropriate field. For
   Apple Watch, you will need to enter the Verification Code for the Card you
   are adding by going to “Wallet & Apple Pay” in the Apple Watch app on your
   supported device. Please note that you will need a working Internet or data
   connection to receive a one-time Verification Code.
   
   Your one-time Verification Code may expire if you are not able to enter it
   within 10 minutes. You can request another code by selecting your preferred
   verification option again, contacting your financial institution by calling
   the number on the back of your card or using your financial institution’s
   mobile banking app. If you are unable to get a one-time Verification Code,
   please contact your financial institution by calling the number on the back
   of your Card. You may also be asked to call your bank who will activate your
   Interac debit card on Apple Pay on your behalf.

   For your security, when you add your Interac debit card to Apple Pay, a
   Device Account Number is created for that card on that device. It is separate
   and unique to your device and different from your physical card number. Your
   Device Account Number is used to make purchases with your card using Apple
   Pay so that your real card number is not exposed to third parties.

   Wallet app.

   You will receive “Card Notifications” for your Interac debit card in Apple

   off your “Card Notifications,” you will no longer receive transaction
   notifications.

   notifications enabled.

   If you believe your device or Apple Pay card information has been lost,
   stolen or compromised in any way, call your financial institution immediately
   at the number on the back of your card.
   
   For an iPhone, iPad or MacBook, you can go to the Find My iPhone app to
   temporarily suspend or permanently remove the ability to make payments from
   your device, even if your device is offline. If you suspend your card(s)
   using Find My iPhone, you can reactivate your card(s) simply by unlocking
   your device and entering your Apple ID “Passcode” when prompted. For any
   supported Apple device, you can always go to icloud.com/settings, choose the
   applicable device and delete your card(s).

 * When I try to add my debit card to Google Pay, why am I getting a message
   that says, “This card can’t be added quite yet. Your card will be supported
   soon. We’ll let you know once you can add your card.”?
   
   This message means that Google has not updated your device yet which is
   affecting your ability to add your debit card. Google will send you an email
   and you will receive a notification on your device when it has been updated.

   institution to use Interac Debit on Google Pay.

 * I was prompted to receive a one-time Verification Code or to call my bank.
   What is this and why is it required?
   
   For security purposes, your financial institution may ask you to enter a
   one-time Verification Code to confirm your identity. This code is a unique
   series of numbers and/or letters that you can choose to receive via email or
   SMS.
   
   You may also confirm your identity by logging into your financial
   institution’s mobile banking app, if that functionality is available.
   
   Your one-time Verification Code may expire if you are not able to enter it in
   a designated time frame set by your financial institution.
   
   You can request another code by selecting your preferred verification option
   again, contacting your financial institution by calling the number on the
   back of your Interac debit card or using your financial institution’s mobile
   banking app. If you are unable to get a one-time Verification Code, please
   contact your financial institution by calling the number on the back of your
   Interac debit card.
   
   You may also be asked to call your bank who will activate your Interac debit
   card on Google Pay on your behalf.

   Pay so that your real card number is not exposed to third parties.

 * How do I get a refund for something I purchased with Google Pay?
   
   Returning an item purchased with your mobile device is just like any other
   return; you will need your receipt (depending on the merchant’s policy).
   Depending on the merchant’s policy, you may need to use the contactless
   reader when instructed by the merchant. The key difference is that you may be
   asked to provide to the cashier the last four digits of your Device Account
   Number instead of the last few digits of your card number. To find the last
   four digits of your Device Account Number for your card, visit the “Google
   Pay” app on your device, select the card, and scroll down to see the ”Virtual
   Account Number”.

   authorized with a one-time token so you can pay in confidence knowing your
   personal financial information is never shared with merchants. Your account
   number will never be shared with Google. If you have any additional questions
   about your device’s security features or how Google uses other information,
   please contact Google directly.

   proprietary token platform to ensure the safety and privacy of your financial
   information.

 * Is the Interac debit card in Google Pay different than Interac Debit for
   online payments?
    * Interac Debit with Google Pay enables you to make purchases with your
      Android device when purchasing in-store with a contactless terminal.
    * An in-app or in-browser payment leverages your Interac debit card within
      your mobile wallet. When you are ready to pay, the app or browser
      communicates with your mobile wallet, which tells it that your Interac
      debit card is provisioned in your wallet, so the payment can be authorized
      like it would be if making a mobile payment in-store/point of sale.
    * With online payments, the payment is authorized through online banking.
      The merchant redirects you to a gateway page where you select the
      financial institution they would like to pay from. Interac then redirects
      your browser to your financial institution’s online banking site for
      authentication.”)

   limited amount of tokens to be used for transactions. These tokens are
   replenished using a small amount of cellular data (or Wi-Fi if a connection
   is available) for future purchases.
   
   Once your Interac debit card is added to your Google Pay Wallet, you do not
   need cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection to make a point-of-sale transaction,
   but you will require it for in-app/in-browser transactions to access the
   merchant app/website.

   logo on front of bank card), you will need to enter your Security Code (CVV)
   and accept your financial institution’s Terms of Use for Samsung Pay when you
   add the card to Samsung Pay.
   
   You may also be subject to your financial institution’s or Samsung’s own
   terms & conditions.

 * I was prompted to receive a one-time Verification Code or to call my bank.
   What is this and why is it required?
   
   For security purposes, your financial institution may ask you to enter a
   one-time Verification Code to confirm your identity. This code is a unique
   series of numbers and/or letters that you can choose to receive via email or
   SMS if available.
   
   You may also confirm your identity by logging into your financial
   institution’s mobile banking app, if that functionality is available.
   
   Your one-time Verification Code may expire if you aren’t able to enter it in
   a designated time frame set by your financial institution.
   
   You can request another code by selecting your preferred verification option
   again, contacting your financial institution by calling the number of the
   back of your Interac debit card or using your financial institutions mobile
   banking app. If you are unable to get a one-time Verification Code, please
   contact your financial institution by calling the number on the back of
   your Interac debit card.
   
   You may also be asked to call your bank who will activate your Interac debit
   card on Samsung Pay.

 * Does my Interac debit card need to be contactless enabled to use it on
   Samsung Pay?
   
   No, you do not need an Interac debit card with contactless payments to use
   Samsung Pay. However, your financial institution determines if
   your Interac debit card is eligible to be added.

       “delete card”.
    2. Using Samsung’s “Find My Mobile“, you can remotely lock or erase Samsung

   For your security, when you add Interac Debit to Samsung Pay, a Virtual
   Account Number is created for that card on that device. It is separate and
   unique to your device and different from your physical card number. Your
   virtual card number is used to make purchases with your card using Samsung
   Pay.

   Depending on the store’s policy, you may need to use the contactless reader
   when instructed by the merchant. When using your mobile device, the merchant
   will not recognize your physical card but will access the associated Virtual
   Card Number to credit your return. Returning an item purchased with your
   mobile device is just like any other return; you will need your receipt
   (depending on the merchant’s policy).

 * I’m not sure if my online payment was completed. How do I know?
   
   If you reach the confirmation screen and receive a confirmation number, your
   payment was completed. If you confirmed your payment in online banking, but
   did not get redirected to a confirmation page on the online retailer’s
   website, one of two things may have happened:
   
    1. The online retailer received your payment, but for some reason you were
       unable to see the confirmation page.
       If you receive a confirmation email or are able to view the transaction
       in your order history on the retailer’s website, this was likely the
       case.
    2. The online retailer was not able to receive your payment.
       If this was the case, your payment will be re-credited to your account
       within minutes.
   
   You can also contact the online retailer to confirm whether your order has
   been processed.

   to your bank account. We work with all stakeholders and security experts to
   maintain the ongoing security of our services, but there are actions it’s

   verify that all transactions have been properly documented. If entries are
   not accurate – for example, there are missing or additional transactions –
   you should immediately contact your financial institution.

 * Why doesn’t my co-badged card work with Interac online payments?
   
   A co-badged card is easily recognized by the logos on the bottom right
   corner. If you see the Interac logo along with the logo of a competing
   payment brand, you have a co-badged card. While your co-badged debit card
   enables you to use Interac Debit to access funds at ABMs and shop, it uses a
   competing network for online payments instead of Interac Debit for online
   payments. This was a decision made by your financial institution. As such,
   inquiries about the absence of Interac Debit for online payments
   functionality should be directed to your financial institution.

 * The Security of ABM withdrawals
   
   ABM withdrawals is safe and secure. This is ensured by your chip-enabled card
   and confidential Personal Identification Number (PIN). Adherence to strict
   Canadian and international security standards are required by all Interac
   Network Participants.
   
   An Interac debit card cannot be used to withdraw cash at an ABM without the
   cardholder’s PIN. This ensures the security of funds when a card is lost,
   stolen, or illegally copied.
   
   It’s important to immediately report lost or stolen cards to your bank or
   credit union to avoid any possible liability.
