Transfers
With Motive, you can send and receive money a number of different ways. Easily and securely transfer money to and from your accounts using:
- Interac e-Transfer® - Send or receive money quickly with Interac e-Transfer. All you need is an email and/or mobile phone number and an account at a Canadian financial institution. As a sender, you don't need to worry about figuring out where the person banks and they won't know where you do your own banking, because all account details and financial institutions are kept confidential.
- One-time transfers - Transfer money between your Motive account and your account at any other Canadian financial institution. To link your other bank accounts, fill out the money transfer authorization form (located in our Forms Centre), and fax, email or mail it to us with a VOID cheque for the account you want to link.
- Internal transfers - Transfer money between your Motive accounts and other CWB accounts via interbank transfers.
- Future dated/recurring transfers - Who doesn’t want to reach their savings goals faster? We can help you set up a regularly scheduled transfer into your Motive Savings Account. Using a Savings Builder Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) you can set up regularly scheduled transfers between your Motive Savings Account and your account at another financial institution. To set up these transfers, print and fill out the Electronic Funds Transfer form, and fax, email or mail it to us with a VOID cheque for the account you want your transfer to come from.
