-
- Click or tap the link in the email or text notification indicating you have received a new INTERAC e-Transfer® transaction.
- Skip over 'Find your Financial Institution' as this will not populate Biggar & District Credit Union.
- Select Province as 'Saskatchewan' first, then credit union as 'Biggar & District Credit Union'.
- Click or tap 'Deposit'.
- Sign in to Digital Banking via the app, mobile web or desktop. Choose the Biggar & District Credit Union account into which you wish to deposit the money.
When receiving an INTERAC e-Transfer® for the first time in the new Digital Banking platform and if you had received INTERAC e-Transfers® previously, you may be presented with the Biggar & District Credit Union name and logo. If this is the case, please follow these steps:
1. Bypass selecting Biggar & District Credit Union/clicking on the logo
2. Scroll down to “Select a different financial institution”.
3. Select Biggar & District Credit Union from the list.
The reason for this is due to your device remembering where to go, which is the old platform that is no longer there.
Once you complete this process for the first time, your device should remember where to go (which is the new digital banking) and you will not have to repeat these steps.
