What details do I need to withdraw by Interac e-Transfer?
An Interac e-Transfer withdrawal is sent to a name and email address with a security question and answer — it does not use a bank account or routing number.
An Interac e-Transfer withdrawal is sent using a name and email address, not a bank account or routing number — it's a completely different set of details than a direct bank payout.
How it works
- You'll provide the recipient's name and email address.
- The transfer includes a security question and answer; if the recipient doesn't have Interac autodeposit set up on their account, they'll need to check their email for that security answer to complete depositing the funds.
- This is different from Paysavo's other live withdrawal rail (a direct Nigerian bank payout), which instead requires a specific destination bank and account number rather than an email address.
What to do next
Double-check the recipient's email address and name before submitting — since Interac withdrawals route by email rather than bank account, an incorrect email is the most likely way a transfer could go to the wrong place.
