Security of Interac e-Transfer for Business
Wondering if Interac e-Transfer is secure? When you use this service, the only things you'll receive by email or text are notifications or deposit instructions. Information about your account is never sent to your contact.
To better protect yourself, adopt these habits:
- Security question: If you use one to make a transfer, make sure the answer is hard to guess, even for someone close to you. Using a security question prevents someone other than your recipient from depositing the funds.
- Phishing: Beware of text messages and emails that ask for personal information or promise you some kind of compensation.
