Interac has rescheduled their e-Transfer Database Upgrade.
During this maintenance, Interac will temporarily suspend traffic, resulting in a 4-hour service outage for e-Transfer on Saturday, January 10, from approximately 11:00 p.m. PT to 3:00 a.m. PT (2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. ET). The start time may vary slightly depending on completion of reconciliation and settlement activities.
Following the upgrade, Interac will enter a Hypercare monitoring period beginning at approximately 3:00 a.m. PT (6:00 a.m. ET). During this time, Central 1 will continue to monitor closely and coordinate with Interac to ensure service stability.
If a rollback is required, Interac may extended the downtime up to 2 hours and 30 minutes.

As a result, the affected wire charges will be applied at January 2026 month-end. No action is required from clients at this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we ensure charges are accurately applied.
