Radius Credit Union members can receive an INTERAC e-Transfer® transaction.
  1. Click or tap the link in the email or text notification indicating you have received a new INTERAC e-Transfer transaction.
  2. Skip over 'Find your Financial Institution' as this will not populate Radius Credit Union.
  3.  Select Province as 'Saskatchewan' first, then credit union as 'Radius Credit Union'.
  4.  Click or tap 'Deposit'.

When receiving an INTERAC e-Transfer for the first time in the new Digital Banking platform and if you had received INTERAC e-Transfers previously, you may be presented with the Radius CU name and logo. If this is the case, please follow these steps:
 
  1. Bypass selecting Radius/clicking on the logo
  2. Scroll down to “Select a different financial institution”.
  3. Select Radius Credit Union from the list.
The reason for this is due to your device remembering where to go, which is the old platform that is no longer there. Once you complete this process for the first time, your device should remember where to go (which is the new digital banking) and you will not have to repeat these steps.

Acxsys Corporation powers the INTERAC e-Transfer™ service for the participating financial institutions. Acxsys Corporation facilitates the e-mail notice process and maintains the INTERAC e-Transfer™ database.

An e-mail and/or SMS text message notifying the recipient of their INTERAC e-Transfer is sent immediately after the sender completes the INTERAC e-Transfer. Once the recipient receives notification; they can complete the deposit process, usually within just a few minutes of the transfer being sent.

NOTE: If your recipient's Financial Institution does not subscribe to the INTERAC e-Transfer service, they can still deposit their funds using the Acxsys Transfer process. This method of depositing an INTERAC e-Transfer generally takes 3-5 business days, although it may take longer.

 

If you provided an invalid e-mail address, you will be notified via e-mail that the transfer notification was undeliverable. You can readdress and resend the transfer or cancel the pending transfer and the original amount (less the service charge) will be credited back to your account. If you provided an invalid e-mail address, but did provide a valid mobile phone number, you will not be notified by e-mail that the transfer was undeliverable. If you have provided an invalid mobile phone number and chose to notify your recipient by mobile phone only, you will not be notified in any way that the SMS text message did not go through.

The recipient will receive email or SMS reminder of the outstanding transfer 7 days after it has been sent, then again at 14, 21 and 28. After 30 days, the transfer will expire and the recipient will no longer be able to deposit the funds. At that time the sender will be notified and can cancel the expired transfer to redeposit the funds.

The security question verifies the recipient's identity and protects your funds from being received by the wrong person. The question must be answered correctly in order to complete the deposit process. It is the sender's responsibility to create a security question and answer known only to the recipient.

Guidelines for the security answer:

  • The answer must be one word.
  • The answer must not contain any blank spaces.
  • The answer is not case sensitive and letters and/or numbers are accepted.
  • The answer cannot contain special characters (i.e., &, $, etc.).
  • The answer should be kept strictly confidential between the sender and recipient.
  • The security question and/or answer must not be included in the optional message attached to the INTERAC e-Transfer.
 
 
 

The sender will be notified by e-mail when an INTERAC e-Transfer cannot be completed because:

  • The recipient declined the transfer.
  • The 30-day time period for the recipient to claim the transfer has expired.
  • The e-mail address you entered for your recipient is invalid. (See FAQ #3)
  • The recipient was unable to answer the security question.

Once the sender receives this notification, they can follow the links in the message to cancel and re-deposit the funds. Service charges are non-refundable.

There are several error messages which can be generated while using the INTERAC e-Transfer feature, which may include the following:

  • Exceeds sending / receiving limits, for a single transaction, a week or a month.
  • The account you are attempting to send from or deposit to is restricted from use with this feature.
