Sending an Interac e-Transfer using Siri is very simple:

  1. Ask Siri to transfer funds by using the words, “Siri send <$Amount> to <Recipient Name>”. Provide Siri with the recipient’s name and the amount they wish to send.
  2. Just like with all e-Transfer transactions, you have the option to add a personal message to the recipient,
  3. After entering the required information, you will be prompted to authenticate yourself using TouchID.
Done! The funds will be sent using the existing Interac e-Transfer rails.

As a leader in payment innovation, RBC has always strived to provide clients with added value, convenience and choice, be in how they do their banking, how they pay or how they want to send money.

For this reason, RBC developed this new capability to enable sending an Interac e-Transfer using Siri via the RBC Mobile app. Instead of signing in to the RBC Mobile app, typing in the amount and authorizing it, you are now able to say "Hey Siri, send Mike $50 using RBC Mobile".

Once you ask Siri to ‘send money’, it will show the details on the screen, including the recipient’s email address and the account the money is sent from. You can then say ‘yes’ to send or ‘no’ to cancel.

It is largely a hands-free feature. RBC clients will say "Hey Siri, send Mike $50 using RBC Mobile" and then securely authenticate into the Mobile app using TouchID. The RBC Mobile app does all of the work in the background. The funds are sent using the existing Interac e-Transfer rails.

Transactions sent using Siri are secure payments, backed by TouchID authentication.
