How to send and receive an INTERAC e-Transfer†:
- Log into Lakeland Credit Union Internet Banking and navigate to the ‘Transfers’ screen by clicking on the left side menu bar.
- Click on ‘Add/Delete Recipient’ on the left side menu bar.
- Set up your sender profile and add your recipient – make sure to create a Security Question that only your recipient knows the answer to.
- Choose how to notify your recipient, the amount you wish to send and which account the funds will be transferred from. You can also choose to send a special message or memo to your recipient.
- Send! The funds are debited from your account immediately.
- Your recipient will receive notification that you have sent them an INTERAC e-Transfer†, and will follow the links provided in the email or text message to deposit their funds.
- Once they have answered the security question correctly, they can deposit the funds immediately – no holds, no hassle!
- If your recipient’s Financial Institution does not subscribe to the INTERAC e-Transfer† service, it’s no problem! They can still receive their funds by following the link to Interac’s Interac Association’s site, at which time you will be asked to create or log into your existing account with Interac Association.
- Once logged in, Interac Association will proceed to deposit the transfer into your chequing or savings account (which usually takes 3-5 business days). For non-participating financial institution deposits, a $4.00 service fee will be deducted from the transfer amount.
