Primary Interac e-Transfer
Interac e-Transfer funding is usually credited in minutes, but some banks can take up to an hour to release the Interac confirmation. Wire transfers are typically 1 to 2 business days, and can take up to 2 to 3 business days depending on bank cutoffs.
⚠ Interac deposits that do not show up are most often caused by mismatched transfer details (for example a typo in the security question or answer), which prevents automatic matching
⚠ Some banks delay Interac transfers for up to an hour, especially on first-time sends or after you increase the amount

Why is my Interac e-Transfer deposit not showing in Shakepay?
Shakepay notes Interac deposits can take up to 1 hour in normal processing. If it is not showing, the most common issue is mismatched transfer details (for example a typo in the security question or answer). Cancel the Interac transfer and resend using the exact details shown in the app.
My bank says the Interac transfer was sent, so why is Shakepay still empty?
Some banks release Interac transfers slowly and Shakepay notes up to an hour can be normal. If you are past an hour, check whether the Interac details match what Shakepay provided, then resend a small test transfer.
What is the safest way to test Shakepay funding from a Canadian bank?
Start with a small Interac e-Transfer deposit first, then increase size only after you see it credit correctly. This helps you surface bank-side delays and prevents bigger transfers from getting stuck.
How do I withdraw CAD back to my bank and what are the limits?
Shakepay supports CAD withdrawals using Interac e-Transfer with a maximum of $10,000 per e-Transfer withdrawal. For larger withdrawals, use wire transfer.
