Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Interac sign-in service?

    The Interac sign-in service is a convenient way to access online services – instead of creating and managing a new username and password for accessing online services, you access them by signing in with your online bank, or other participating “Sign-In Partner”.

  • Glossary of common terms
    • Credentials: Typically, this is your username/password combination that you would use to sign in, to access services.
    • Sign-In Partner: an organization that has partnered with Interac Corp. and its subsidiaries to offer you the Interac sign- in service. Sign-In Partners may include financial institutions amongst others.

  • How does the Interac® sign-in service protect my information?

    The Interac® sign-in service acts as an information filter between the online service and Sign-In Partners. By brokering the connection, the Interac® sign-in service ensures that no government service knows which Sign-In Partner you are using, and that no Sign-In Partner knows which government service you are accessing.

    The only information your Sign-In Partner supplies to the Interac® sign-in service is a randomly generated number created on your first use of the system and returned to the Interac® sign-in service with each subsequent use of the system. No passwords or personally identifiable information (i.e.: name, address, date of birth, etc.) are exchanged during this process. For more details about how the Interac® sign-in service uses your information, please refer to our Privacy Notice.
