Daily e-Transfer Limits Explained

Most Canadian banks place limits on how much money can be sent through Interac e-Transfer. These limits are set by your bank and can affect Bitcoin purchases made through 1Bitcoin.ca.

💳 Common e-Transfer Limits

Many banks use:

  • daily limits

  • weekly limits

  • monthly limits- per-transaction limits (typically capped at $10,000 per transaction)

Limits vary depending on:

  • your bank

  • account type

  • banking history

  • security settings

⏳ What Happens If You Reach Your Limit?

If your limit is exceeded:

  • the transfer may be declined

  • the transfer may remain pending

  • your bank may temporarily block additional transfers

In some cases, you may need to wait until your limit resets before sending another e-Transfer.

🏦 Can 1Bitcoin.ca Increase My Limit?

No. e-Transfer limits are controlled by your bank or financial institution.

1Bitcoin.ca cannot change or override your bank’s sending limits.However, you can contact your bank to inquire about increasing your daily or per-transaction limits.

✅ How To Avoid Limit Issues

Before sending an e-Transfer:

  • check your bank’s transfer limits

  • confirm you have enough available limit remaining

  • avoid sending multiple transfers close together if possible

Options for Larger Transactions

If you need to send or deposit more than $10,000, consider the following alternatives:

  1. Wire Transfers(Unavailable at the moment): Most banks offer wire transfer services for larger amounts. Wire transfers are a common solution for transactions exceeding the Interac e-Transfer limit. However, note that wire transfers are not available at the moment.

  2. Splitting Transactions: If wire transfers are unavailable or not supported, you can split the total amount into multiple Interac e-Transfers. Ensure that each transfer complies with your bank’s per-transaction and daily limits.- request a limit increase from your bank if needed

  • split larger transactions into multiple e-Transfers to stay within limits

⚠️ Important Reminder

Some banks may also apply additional fraud or security reviews to larger Bitcoin-related transfers.
