How secure is an Interac® e-Transfer?

Email messages are only used to notify the church that it has been sent a payment. The funds are not transferred through email, they are transferred through established Canadian banking channels that have been employed for years, like the method banks use for cashing cheques.

​

1. Go to the Interac® payment option on your bank’s website.
    

2. Enter “Reading Room” as the recipient of the e-transfer. If your banking site requires you to specify a first and last name for the Interac® recipient, break our name up any way you like.
    

3. What’s really important is that you enter this special email address, purchase@firstchurchtoronto.com, to further identify the Reading Room as the recipient.
    

4. Specify the amount of your purchase.
    

5. Important: Be sure to indicate your name, your email address and the word “Purchase” in the Comments section of the Interac® form.
    

6. (Unlike Interac® transfers to individuals, you do not have to specify a security question and answer. If your banking site requests that you supply a security question, go ahead. It will get stripped out later, no worries.)
    

7. An email notification will automatically be sent to the Reading Room.
    

8. You will get an email response indicating that your payment has been successfully received.
