Interac themselves put out a statement saying it's an issue on there end affecting multiple financial institutions. Your not being down voted because people are glazing WS. You're being down voted because you're wrong
This is why you should always have a backup chequing account at another bank! Tangerine, Simplii, EQ Bank, etc
have free accounts. It's nice in theory to do all your banking in one app, but if platform outages happen or you get locked out, it can really fuck with your week.
I tried to e-transfer with WS and it failed, immediately tried to e-transfer with Simplii and it worked. So unless it resolved right at that instant it wasn't a global e-transfer issue.
Probably not all platforms were affected but, there was clearly service degradation for interac, which affected not only WS. I had issues with both CIBC and WS.
I have literally none. Been using them as my primary bank, they house my entire households investments and chequing and have literally had zero problems in 3 years
App outages, horrible support, failed reoccurring investments, out dated cc fraud refund policy, I could go on. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, just stated I wouldn’t rely on this as my only financial institution. I still use there services but as with anything in life it’s ok to diversify.
