Tips on protecting yourself from e-Transfer fraud:
If you receive an Interac e-Transfer text or email you weren’t expecting, confirm with the sender via another channel. If the email or text comes from someone you don’t know, or you suspect it to be fraudulent, don’t respond or click any links. Forward the email right away to phishing@interac.ca.

- Only send money to people you know and trust, just as you would cash. An Interac e-Transfer transaction cannot be reversed once a recipient has deposited the funds.
- Always use a strong security question that can’t easily be guessed or found – and make sure you share it via a safe channel.
- Better yet: suggest that your recipient set up Interac e-Transfer Autodeposit for ease and added security.
