About Interac

Interac is based in Canada and headquartered in Toronto, the country´s most populous city.

The Interac system was launched back in 1984, and is thus considerably older than payment solutions such as PayPal, Neteller, Skrill, etc. Interac is an inter-banking service that connects banks with each other, and also with merchants. The modern version of the Interac system – the version that includes e-transfers – premiered in 1996.

Interac was developed by the Interac Association, funded by the Royal Bank of Canada, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, the Toronto Dominion Bank, Scotiabank, and Desjardins. In 1996, the Interac Association created the for-profit entity Acxsys. Interac and Acxsys merged into the for-profit Interac Corporation in 2018.
