So I do my bank login, go through the personal ID verification stages and add lots of challenge questions (GCKey needs 5 different questions/answers), and it asks me to pick my bank again. But it only offers six - BMO, CIBC, Desjardins, RBC, Scotiabank, TD - and mine's not there.
I'm now making Yosemite Sam noises
@tess In Canada, we've have had a service called #interac for more than 20 years, allowing for transfer of funds between Canadian banks to people via email address or phone number. https://www.interac.ca/
Tried to sell something on Facebook Marketplace and somebody attempted to scam me. While that alone isn't groundbreaking, the polish on this particular scam stood out and is something I could easily have fallen for if I were rushing and not paying attention. I took copious screenshots and wrote about it.
Email fraud using the Interac system. Beware the e-transfer.
#interac's shitty id verification procedure is warming me up to the idea of RWI credentials...

Weirdly, I had perhaps the same issue with an #Interac e-transfer this week; I couldn't #deposit it into my credit union account. I thought it was that they'd failed to test their in-house online banking against #Firefox (which I run into a lot... feeling like 1998 again), but I also noticed 3rd-party #cookies being #blocked.
I wonder if #medical/#financial online sites loading Google/Facebook/whatever analytics violates #PIPEDA?
Having a pretty good chuckle as an old (1970s) banker at the Murricans realizing today that 
not only has a very strong and well-regulated banking system, but has had cash dispensers since those 70s, #interac since the '80s, cashless payment systems since 2001 and....free (more or less depending on account) cash transfer to any recipient with an email addy or a cell phone for a long time.
Phishing question. Canadians who have used Interac. You know the email you sometimes get directing you to a financial institution. I just noticed it uses a clck dot ru link and I got very suspicious!? Legit?

"Why no autodeposit"
