About Bulk Interac e-Transfer
Bulk Interac e-Transfer allows businesses to easily send electronic payments to multiple recipients at once, eliminating the need to issue, track or reconcile costly cheques or handle cash payments. This service is ideal for any business wanting to offer recipients a secure, paperless acceptance option.
Businesses only require a recipientโs e-mail address or mobile phone number to send money; no financial information is needed for payment. A single file listing multiple payments is sent to a business’s financial institution for processing, allowing the recipients to deposit their payment at a financial institution of their choice. This service offers greater flexibility, customization, security and more detailed reporting than other available payment methods.
