Interac Corp. Launches e-Transfer Cards to Enhance the Digital Payment Experience
New From Interac: Personalized e-Transfer Cards Integrated Into Existing Payment Flows
Interac Corp. has introduced Interac e-Transfer Cards, a new feature that lets people and businesses attach digital cards to their money transfers. These cards include themed designs, animations, and messages - turning a regular e-Transfer into a more personal, occasion-based experience. The feature works on top of the existing e-Transfer system, adding customization without changing how funds move.
Key Features of Interac e-Transfer Cards
Personalized Digital Greetings:
Users can attach a themed digital card that appears alongside the transfer amount, making the payment feel like a gesture rather than a simple transaction.
Animated and Multimedia Options:
Cards can include motion, audio, and GIF-style visuals for a more dynamic experience.
Near-Real-Time Delivery:
Cards are delivered on the same timeline as regular e-Transfers, ensuring timely arrival for celebrations or acknowledgments.
Same Security and Protections:
The feature uses the existing e-Transfer security framework - no new steps or risks for users.
Fully Digital Process:
No need for physical cards. Everything - from choosing to sending - happens online.
Built into the Regular Send-Money Flow:
Users simply select “+ Add Card” while sending an e-Transfer; no setup required.
Designed for Many Occasions:
Supports celebrations, holidays, congratulations, thank-yous, and everyday gestures.
