Why is my Interac e-Transfer still showing as “Pending”?

Interac e-Transfers are processed in real time, and the funds are typically deposited instantly or sometimes within 30 minutes, as long as the recipient’s email is correct. “Pending” status may appear when the recipient’s bank delays sending a confirmation—this can take up to 4 hours. However, the funds are typically deposited instantly and the delay does not affect the actual delivery. Please ask the recipient to check their bank account or email for the deposit notification.
