Canada's own payment network
Interac Bingo Sites
The e-wallet of choice for Canadian players, built by Canadian banks in 1984. One thing to check before you sign up.
Where You Can Use Interac
Interac is a Canadian method, so where you can use it depends on your province.
Ontario and Alberta are the only provinces where private operators can compete. Everywhere else, your provincial site is the only regulated option.
Check Which Version the Room Uses
This is the single most important thing on this page.
| Version | Deposits | Withdrawals | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interac e-Transfer | Yes | Yes | What you want — money moves both ways |
| Interac Online | Yes | Often not | Fine for paying in, but check before you rely on it |
The two operate very similarly. What matters is that your room can send cash-ins via the service, not just take deposits.
What Interac Actually Is
Interac is not bingo-specific. Many Canadian online stores accept it too.
It is a Canadian debit card service that lets customers pay directly from their bank accounts and withdraw at Interac-enabled terminals.
Eight prominent Canadian banks created it in 1984, aiming to build a debit and e-wallet service more efficient than the credit card system.
By 2016 there were more than 1,200,000 Interac terminals across Canada, and both terminal numbers and transaction volumes have risen every year since, driven largely by the online payments it enables.
