Protect Yourself

As e-transfers become more common, e-transfer fraud has also increased. E-transfer fraud is when the recipient of an e-transfer has their email hacked and the fraudster uses the e-transfer notification email to redirect the incoming funds.

The following tips will help protect you from e-transfer fraud:

1. Register for e-transfer Autodeposit. Having funds automatically deposited into your registered account removes the risk of a criminal intercepting the deposit email.
2. When sending an e-transfer, select security questions and answers that are not easy for a third party to guess or cannot easily be found on social media.
3. When sending an e-transfer, do not include the answer to the security question in the message field of the e-transfer.

To get more information on registering, receiving or sending an e-Transfer please see Tools & Support.
