What is e-transfer?
e-Transfer is a completely online, paperless money transfer service which enables you to send money directly from your bank account in Canada to your beneficiary in India from the comfort of your home. It uses the Canadian Automated Clearing Settlement System (ACSS) network to directly transfer money.
ACSS is the clearing network for electronic funds transfers in Canada. Banks can process financial transactions electronically without using paper instruments such as checks using the ACSS network. ACSS allows a client to use a bank to initiate a debit or credit transaction on his or her bank account, subject to certain authorizations as per ACSS rules.

What type of bank accounts in CANADA can be used for e-Transfer (ACSS)?
You can use it if you have a consumer checking account or a consumer savings account with a bank affiliated to the ACSS network in CANADA.
You can also use your consumer money market accounts for online transfers. However, banks in CANADA treat money market accounts differently in the case of ACSS transactions. While some consider it as consumer savings accounts, others treat it as consumer checking accounts. Hence, you'll need to check with your bank in CANADA, as to how they classify money market accounts and accordingly select either consumer savings account or consumer checking account.
Please note that e-Transfer (ACSS) cannot be used for business / commercial bank accounts.

I have a money market account. Can I send money to India using e-transfer (ACSS) from this account?
You can send money to India using e-transfer (ACSS) from your consumer money market accounts. However, banks in CANADA consider money market accounts differently for e-transfer (ACSS) transactions. Some banks consider it as consumer savings accounts, while others treat it as consumer checking accounts. Hence, you need to check with your bank how they classify money market accounts and accordingly select either consumer savings account or consumer checking account.
