It is an easy, secure, quick and convenient way to send or receive money. Recipients are notified by email and/or text message and must login to their online banking to accept the transfer.
Any individual or small business owner with an account at a Canadian financial institution that offers the service can initiate an e-Transfer, while anyone with an account at a Canadian financial institution can receive one.
There is no money attached to emails or text messages. Instead, financial institutions use standard practices for safe and secure money transfers.
Email can be compromised and messages intercepted, so RevCU recommends activating autodeposit.
There are no cancellation fees, however, if you are beyond all ten free transactions the original $1.50 sending fee is non-refundable.
No. It is free! As long as you use online banking or mobile banking and you deposit the eTransfer to your account using these services, there is no fee to receive an e-Transfer.

Yes, provided you have an account at RCU or a Canadian financial institution. However, you will 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. It is a valid number.
If you provide only a landline as the way to notify a recipient, you will be informed that the transfer could not be completed. You will need to provide new contact information – either a mobile phone number or email address.
Yes, and delegates can too. Single and dual-signature business accounts.
No. In order to send and/or receive Interac e-Transfers, both senders and recipients must have accounts at Canadian financial institutions. The transfer must 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 immediately, through online banking. The money is debited from the sender’s account immediately upon sending the message.
The notification will be sent to that phone number or email address, however, that person will not be able to deposit the transfer because they won't know the answer to the security question. Recipients must correctly answer the security question before they can deposit the money.
Yes. You can cancel the transfer anytime until the recipient accepts it. Generally, it takes about 30 minutes for notifications to be sent to recipients. To cancel a transfer, click on the 'Cancel' link beside the list of pending transfers.
If a transfer hasn't been accepted within 30 days, it will automatically expire and the sender will be notified. The sender can either click on the 'Cancel' link beside the list of pending transfers or let Interac cancel the transaction. Money will be returned to the sender within seven days of cancelling the transaction; however, the original eTransfer $1.50 sending fee is not refundable. You can also send reminders to recipients who have not yet accepted transfers by clicking on the 'Resend Notice' link beside the list of pending transfers.
In that case, you will be notified and prompted to login to your online banking to cancel the pending transfer.
