Government Sign-In by Verified.Me® is now Interac® sign-in service. You can continue to rely on the same secure sign-in service with the financial institution that you have used for years.

Access government services with Interac sign-in service

The Interac sign-in service makes it easier to access the things you depend on.

Trust comes standard with the Interac sign-in service.

With the Interac sign-in service, you can enjoy a convenient way to access online services. Instead of creating and managing a new username and password for accessing online services, you can simply access them by signing in with your online banking credentials or other participating “Sign-In Partner” – an approved digital credential that you already know and trust. The Interac sign-in service is built with Triple Blind® capabilities at its core, meaning no party in the service – financial institution, government service or network operator – knows from where or to where you are signing-in.

Security

Our trusted Sign-In Partners – including some of the largest financial institutions in Canada – maintain secure solutions to help protect you against fraud and identity theft.

We respect your privacy

No passwords or personal information (i.e.: name, address, date of birth, etc.) are exchanged. Your Sign-In Partner won’t know which government service you’re accessing, and the government won’t know which Sign-In Partner you’re using.

We make sign in convenient

The Interac sign-in service is an easy way to sign-in to government services. When visiting a government services website that offers the Interac sign-in service, select the “Sign-In Partner Login” option. Then choose your bank or credit union and log-in as usual.

Phishing

Interac will never send you an unprompted email or text message to log into services using the Interac sign-in service. Please report any phishing attempts to phishing@interac.ca.

    The only information your Sign-In Partner supplies to the Interac® sign-in service is a randomly generated number created on your first use of the system and returned to the Interac® sign-in service with each subsequent use of the system. No passwords or personally identifiable information (i.e.: name, address, date of birth, etc.) are exchanged during this process.
