Interac announces change to Interac e-Transfer scheduled and recurring payments

Interac has announced an upcoming change to its Interac e-Transfer® service that may affect members who use Scheduled and Recurring e-Transfers.

What does this mean?
If you currently use Scheduled or Recurring Interac e-Transfers, those payments will not be processed after October 31, 2026. There is no direct replacement for this Interac feature. Additionally, after August 28, 2026, scheduling new Scheduled or Recurring e-Transfers will no longer be supported.

What are my options?
You can still:

  • Send one-time Interac e-Transfers as you do today.
  • Transfer funds between your own Kindred accounts.
  • Transfer funds to other Kindred members using our member-to-member transfer feature.
  • Schedule bill payments if the individual you are sending money to is set up as a vendor

If you have questions about how this change may affect you or would like help finding an alternative, our team is here to help.
