Step 4: Send an e-transfer
Navigate back to the INTERAC e-Transfer page by clicking the Transfers tab at the top and clicking on the INTERAC e-Transfer tab.
Under ‘Select an option’, click on ‘Send Money’.
In the ‘Recipient’ field, use the drop down list to choose the person that you want to send money to.
In the ‘From Account’ field, use the drop down list to select which Meridian account the funds will come out of.
In the ‘Amount’ field, type in the amount of money you want to send.
If you entered a security question and answer when you originally added this contact, the Security Question field will auto-populate. If you hadn’t set up a security question and answer for this contact, you can add one here for this e-transfer only.
Tip: If the person you’re sending money to has auto-deposit set up, they won’t need to answer the security question to have the funds deposited. Learn more about autodeposit in Step 9.
Finally, you have the option to attach a message–for example, a description of what the e-transfer payment is for–to this e-transfer for your recipient. Type your message in the ‘Message’ field.
Click the ‘Next’ button to continue.
