Interac: six taps, and more than half the apps interrupt you
Six taps. About a day for the money. And twenty seven of the forty eight apps put something between you and the confirm button.
Every site that takes Interac e-Transfer
Some of these buttons pay Loon Picks a commission. The sort is the recorded wait on this rail, quickest first, and paying us does not move a row up it.
That 27 is the highest count anywhere on this page
Partly because it is the biggest roster, partly because it is the rail most people use, which makes it the one worth interrupting. The usual pattern is a bonus offer inserted after you type the amount. Second most common is a confirmation screen that repeats the previous screen.
None of it stops you. All of it is designed so that some people stop.
Turn on Autodeposit and save two taps
In your banking app, not the casino app. It removes the security question step, which is where delayed e-Transfers actually get stuck, and it takes about ninety seconds once.
After that the money arrives without you answering anything, and the six taps drop to four in most apps.
Fifteen minutes to three days
That is the range across forty eight apps on one rail. Interac itself moves in under half an hour every time, so the whole spread is how long an app sits on the request before releasing it.
C$1 to deposit, C$10 to withdraw, no fee anywhere. On cost nothing beats it.
