How-to Set Up an Interac e-Transfer
Email money transfers are a great way to donate right from your bank account. They are a bit more challenging to set up but they help the church avoid payment processing fees. We recommend e-transfers for long-time members and frequent givers.
STEP 1
Sign in to your online bank and find Interac e-Transfers. These may also be called e-mail money transfers.
STEP 2
Great, now you can add the church as a recipient of a transfer. Add the following details.
Name: Church in Toronto
Email: donate.cit@gmail.com
It’s important to get the email right. Save the new recipient and continue.
STEP 3
Now you’re ready to send money through an e-transfer. Create a new e-transfer and enter the following information.
Recipient: Church in Toronto
Message: N/A
Amount: Choose the amount you would like to donate. (Note: Each bank has a limit on how much can be transferred daily which is $3500)
Account: Choose the account you would like to transfer money from.
STEP 4
The last step is to choose a security question and answer. The question you choose can be anything (e.g. What is the church location?) but it’s very important that the answer to that question is the following:

STEP 5
Now the last step is to send the transfer. Some banks also allow you to set up recurring transfers if you would like.
Thank you so much for supporting the vision at CIT.
