How money moves in Canada

Currency

Transfers into Canada land in Canadian dollar (CAD), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.

How transfers settle

Interac e-Transfer is the standard domestic person-to-person rail, delivered by email or mobile; corporate wires use the LVTS/ Lynx high-value system. Timing depends on the provider. That matters for a transfer sent from Winnipeg: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.

Recipient details

Canadian accounts use a 3-digit institution number, a 5-digit transit number (branch), and the account number. Canada does not use IBAN for domestic transfers. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.

Regulation

Payments in Canada are overseen by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) / OSFI. Federally regulated banks are supervised by OSFI; fintech payment providers may fall outside federal prudential oversight. Check whether the provider is a CDIC-member bank and what protections apply.
