What happens if I use the wrong email, mobile, or account number for the INTERAC e-Transfer transaction?
Before sending an Interac e-Transfer® transaction, please ensure that the recipient's name, email, mobile number and/or account information (Business Banking clients only) displayed match the intended recipient.
If you accidentally use the wrong email address or mobile number to send money,and the recipient is not set up for Autodeposit and the funds have not been deposited yet, you can cancel the Interac e-Transfer. A cancellation fee may apply.
If you are a business and are sending money using the recipient's account information (Direct to Account), ensure the account information is correct as the money will be automatically deposited right away.
If your recipient has set up Autodeposit, the money will be automatically deposited into their account, and you will notbe able to cancel the transfer.
If your recipient has not set up Autodeposit, create an effective security question that cannot be guessed and only you and the recipient can answer correctly. You must keep the answer to your security question confidential at all times. Do not communicate it electronically (e.g. email, social media, etc.) and never include it in the message field.
Remember the funds will be deposited to whoever can access the Interac e-Transfer and correctly answers the security question, regardless of whether they are the intended recipient.
