Scotiabank for iOS Gets iMessage Extension for Interac e-Transfers
Scotiabank has updated their iOS app to support sending money via iMessage to friends and family. The update brings support for an iMessage extension to allow for seamless Interac e-Transfers directly in your messages, without the need to launch the bank’s iOS app to initiate fund transfers.
Once you’ve installed today’s Scotiabank update, head to the iMessage App Store and ensure the app is installed. If you already have Scotiabank for iOS installed, it’ll ask you to enable Touch ID for the iMessage extension to work.
Here are a couple screenshots of what the process looks like:
Looks like Scotiabank is the first big bank in Canada to support iMessage extensions for sending Interac e-Transfers. Let us know if you’re going to try this out!

Apple Now Lets You Migrate and Merge Apple Account Purchases
Apple is introducing the ability to migrate digital purchases, from apps to movies and TV shows, from one Apple Account to another.
Would be nice now if they stop charge $1.50 per eInterac transaction like RBC.
BMO just announced free e-transfers for all accounts this morning
Stopped today actually. You get two free per account depending on the account. It changed as of March 1st.
RBC or SB? I have SB and I have received no news on this.
Scotiabank. It was part of their service charge change announcement end of December. Would likely be a notification you received in your online inbox. That’s where I saw it personally. 2 free per month per qualifying account it appears.
Looking forward to the rest joining this party. TD will probably be last since you can still not update security questions with each transaction.
This is very neat 😀
Genius !
Awesome!
If both persons have an Apple device..
recipient doesn’t need to be on iOS
How’s that? Since iMessage is Apple specific.
Well it still performs the transfer using the email. They just included the App into iMessage so that you do not have to close message app in order to open the scotia app and then transfer.
yea, unless i am doing something wrong the imessage screenshot is wrong. it still sends it via email, and just texts the recipient to check their email. doesn’t allow for direct depositing through imessage. (as far as I can see)
I’m having trouble using this feature. It says that i have no connection even though i’m connected to my wi-fi, what can i do ?
