Can I accept an Interac e-Transfer without a Canadian bank account?

If you have received an Interac e-Transfer and do not have an account with a participating Canadian bank, ask your sender to cancel the transfer. Once the transfer is cancelled, the funds will be returned to the sender’s account. If you are unable to contact your sender, the transfer will expire in approximately 30 days. Once the transfer expires, the money is automatically deposited into the sender’s account.
