How secure is an Interac e-Transfer? Email / text messages are only used to notify the recipient that they have been sent a payment. The funds are not transferred through email or text, they are transferred through established banking channels that have been employed for years, like the method banks use for cashing cheques. An additional level of security is provided by the security question. The recipient must correctly answer the question specified by you in order to access the funds. An Interac e-Transfer will expire after 30 days. If the intended recipient has not accepted the transfer within 30 days, you will be notified that the payment has expired and will have the option to reclaim the funds. If you do not cancel an unclaimed Interac e-Transfer within 15 calendar days after we’ve notified you of its expiry, we will return the funds to your account and apply a $5.00 reclaim fee.
