Who can give by eTransfer?
- eTransfers can only be sent and received by Canadian bank accounts in Canadian dollars. People from outside of Canada should opt to use Credit Card or PayPal instead.
How much can I give by eTransfer?
- Please keep in mind that there are usually daily limits (imposed by your bank) to how much you can send via eTransfer so it is best suited for smaller donations.
How do I give by eTransfer?
1. Prepare a Distribution List.
- Proceed to our online giving system, choose who you’d like to give to and how much, and at checkout choose to pay by eTransfer.
- Remember to make sure that your total does not exceed your bank’s daily etransfer limit. If unsure, check with your bank to find out how much you can send per day / per transaction.
2. Log on to your banking site and set up an eTransfer to [email protected] for the full amount. Please remember to keep this below your daily sending limit.
- Please note that no password or passphrase is necessary since auto-deposit is enabled for the above email addresses. Please do not set a password or passphrase if asked.
- If your bank requires a password or passphrase and will not send without one, please contact [email protected] and make arrangements for receipt of your etransfer.
3. Complete your Checkout here on the website to submit your Distribution List.
Why won’t my eTransfer go through?
Please keep in mind that every bank has limits on how much they allow their users to send in an eTransfer and that this amount often varies from user to user. If you have difficulty sending an eTransfer, please check with your bank what your eTransfer limit is. Consult your bank if you have difficulty sending an eTransfer – the process varies from bank to bank.
