If you provided an invalid email address, you will be notified via email that the transfer notification was undeliverable. You can readdress and resend the transfer or cancel the pending transfer and the original amount (less the service charge) will be credited back to your account.

If you provided an invalid email address, but did provide a valid mobile phone number, you will not be notified by email that the transfer was undeliverable.
If you have provided an invalid mobile phone number and chose to notify your recipient by mobile phone only, you will not be notified in any way that the SMS text message did not go through.

If you have been notified of an undeliverable Interac e-Transfer due to an incorrect email address, you can readdress and resend the transfer. Just:

Edit your recipient information to include the valid email address.
Select the “Resend Notification” from the “Pending Transfer” screen
Click “Confirm”

An email notice will be resent to the recipient's valid email address.

Interac e-Transfer® interception fraud is becoming more common. Bad guys can use stolen personal information to hack into the intended recipient’s email account. They wait for e-Transfer notifications to show up and pounce on them, correctly guessing the security answers - either because the answer was sent in an email or is just too easy to guess. Then, they funnel the e-Transfer transactions to their accounts. The funds don't get to the intended recipient, but they’re still gone from your account.
