The next step is to add MyBTC.ca to your Interac e-Transfer recipient list. Remember to double check your list of recipients — this will help make sure you’re all set to fire off your e-Transfer with the click of a button. The minimum send amount is $25, and you can send up to $25,000 per e-Transfer as long as your bank allows it. Most banks set their own daily e-Transfer limits, which are often lower, so you can always send more than one e-Transfer.

Once you’ve selected the amount you’d like to send and account bearing your first and surname, send your e-Transfer! Your funds will arrive either instantly or in exactly 30 minutes — depending on the account and bank. Once we receive your e-Transfer, MyBTC.ca auto-accept intelligence will process your funding in approximately 5 minutes and you will receive an email notification immediately once your account balance has been populated.
