In Canada, EFT is commonly used for payroll deposits, supplier payments, business transactions, and personal transfers.</p><h2>Overview</h2><p>EFT enables individuals, businesses, and government organizations to send and receive funds efficiently and securely. It supports both one-time and recurring payments, making it a popular method for handling regular transactions such as salaries, rent, and vendor invoices.</p><h2>How it works</h2><p>To initiate an EFT, the sender provides the recipient’s banking details, including the account number and branch transit number.

Banks may charge both sending and receiving fees, especially for international transfers. Processing times depend on the destination, banking networks, and any intermediary institutions.</p>
