CYBER SECURITY
Having convenient digital tools to conduct banking and send money can make life easier—and comes with an extra responsibility. Scammers also use online and digital services in their schemes, so it’s essential to know and practice these habits to avoid becoming a victim.
Interac e-Transfer is a popular method for sending money given its convenience to quickly send money to anyone in Canada. Use this service responsibly because once the funds are sent, the transaction is final. You cannot retract an Interac e-Transfer after it’s been deposited. While Interac e-Transfer uses a number of security measures, including encryption technology and secure login processes, money can still fall into the wrong hands in one of the following ways:
We recommend: Setting up Autodeposit to eliminate the need to manually deposit funds and reduce the opportunity for fraudsters to intercept the Interac e-Transfer®.
As your financial institution, we are dedicated to helping you understand how you can protect yourself from fraud. If you suspect you've been a victim of fraud, please contact us right away.
We acknowledge that we have the privilege of doing business on the traditional and unceded territory of First Nations communities.
