From signup to settled order.

Fees and settlement

U.CASH charges nothing on the Interac rail. Canadian banks typically include e-Transfer sends in everyday accounts. Settlement between enrolled parties is minutes. Orders hold for 30 days.

Speed and settlement behavior

Interac e-Transfer runs as a manual rail: the buyer initiates the transfer against your published coordinates and includes the per-order payment reference, which is what makes the reconciliation one click rather than a hunt. Settlement lands in the rail's own window, which the fees and settlement section states; there is no processor in the middle to wait on. That directness is also the operational trade: the rail sees a plain transfer, so the reference discipline is what keeps reconciliation mechanical.

The crypto alternative on the same checkout

The currencies Interac e-Transfer settles, CAD, also exist on-chain where peg families trade: settle the same corridor as a token, non-custodial, final on confirmation, at network fees instead of rail fees. Buyers choose their rail; your ledger sees the same currency either way. The operational difference worth planning around is reversal: the crypto leg settles finally with no dispute window, which suits invoices and known customers, while the traditional rails keep the protections and processes their buyers expect.

Interac e-Transfer: FAQ

How fast is Interac e-Transfer?
Minutes in the standard case. The first send to a new recipient can sit in a pending review at some banks.
Can e-Transfer payments be reversed?
No. Once accepted, an e-Transfer is final, which is why the reference matching matters: you confirm exactly which order an arrival belongs to.
Can I offer Interac e-Transfer beside crypto at checkout?
Yes, that is the standard configuration: the rail serves buyers who pay from banking apps, the crypto legs serve wallet holders, and cards cover everyone else. One checkout, one Payments queue, each payment closing with its reference.
What does the buyer need to pay through Interac e-Transfer?
The coordinates your checkout publishes and the per-order reference. No app install, no account creation on any platform.
Who settles disputes and support on Interac e-Transfer payments?
The rail itself behaves like a bank transfer: settlement follows the rail's rules, and there is no chargeback machinery to arbitrate afterward. Your checkout records, with the per-order reference and rail confirmation, are the paper trail for any customer conversation.
