Why hasn’t my Interac e-Transfer hasn’t been accepted yet?

Here are a few reasons why your Interac e-Transfer® hasn’t been accepted yet or didn’t work:

• Authentication failure: The recipient failed to correctly answer the security question within the permitted number of tries.
• Transfer declined: The recipient declined the transfer.
• Transfer expired: The recipient failed to accept the transfer before the expiry date.
• Incorrect contact information: The recipient's email address or cell phone number was entered incorrect.
• Technical issue: A technical problem prevented the recipient from receiving a notification.

 

If your transfer hasn’t been claimed before the expiry date, you’ll receive a email or text notification. You’ll be able to cancel the transfer if you wish.
