Can you cancel an Autodeposit e-Transfer on CIBC?

Short Answer: Yes, you can cancel the Autodeposit e-Transfer on CIBC. But you have to do it before 6 AM ET (Eastern Time) on the date of transfer. 

If you have a scheduled Autodeposit e-Transfer that you are not willing to send at the moment, do not worry. You can cancel it even on the day of the transfer. Just remember to do it before 6 AM. The option will not work after that time for CIBC Autodeposits.

After that, the transfer is set in stone and you will have to talk to the person you sent it to and ask them to send the money back. This is a tedious process and it is better to take control of your Autodeposits before it falls out of your hands.

Also, when linking an account to the Autodeposit, make sure you enter the right set of details. It may be a number or an email address. Whether it is a one-time or recurring payment, you do not want the money to fall into some stranger’s account.
