Fix: TD Interac e-transfer not working

To make sure that the problem is not from your side and get the e-transfer back on track, try the following methods to troubleshoot.

Method 1 – Clear cache

Cache is the data stored by an application or website to make your future requests faster. But piling up a lot of cache can slow a server down. In order to prevent that, it is recommended that you clear cache daily.

For Android,

  • Visit Settings on your device and search for the TD bank application.
  • Then select it and under storage settings select Clear cache option.

Or for an iPhone,

  • Visit Settings and search for TD Bank app and select Delete data.
  • Since iPhones do not have the option to clear cache, deleting the data is the only way.
  • Now, login to the application and set it up again.

For a website,

  • Do a hard refresh of the website to clear cached data. You can do this by holding the key combinations Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R for Windows. And for Mac users – Shift+Command+R.

Method 2 – Check the details

Payments are very sensitive things, you should be very careful while transferring or accepting money. A slight error and the money might be in the wrong hands. Or wrong details can cause the payment or transfer to not work.

  • Check your bank account details and the recipient details too. Including phone and email addresses.
  • Enter your PIN correctly.
  • Assign a security question and password. And do not forget to share it with the recipient.

Method 3 – Add funds to account

Insufficient funds in the account you are trying to transfer money from can also cause the transfer to not work.

  • Check your account balance and add some money if the amount is less than what you intend to transfer.
  • After adding the money, try the transfer again. The problem should be non-existent.

Method 4 – Update or rollback application

An update contains new features that improve upon the old application in unique ways. So, you need to check and keep your bank application updated.

  • Open the respective application store on your device, check and install any new updates. Also, do not forget to turn ON automatic updates.

Some Interac e-transfer users have reported that the issue is due to a newer version of the application. So if you have not installed the newer version yet, do not do it until a stable version is released. If you have already done it, you can find APK (Android Package) files for android across the internet.


Method 5 – Allow permissions and cookies

Applications need permissions to run smoothly. And for banking applications these are absolutely essential. So if you have not accepted some of the permissions yet, do them now.

  • Visit Settings on your phone and select the bank’s application.
  • Under that in permissions, allow all the required ones.

For websites, cookies act as pieces of data that contain important information for the working of the website.

  • Once you type in the website address and the page is loaded, you will be asked to Allow cookies.
