We are launching Interac Request Money in May 2024 at a 1% fee. More updates to follow soon.

What if I forgot to enter the Crypto.com Identification Number?

If you forgot to enter the Crypto.com Identification Number in the message field when making the deposit, simply navigate to the Blue Box of the Deposit page and tap ‘Enter here’

1. Enter the 8 digit alphanumeric Interac reference number which begins with CA (not the same as the Crypto.com Identification Number) or 12 digit alphanumeric which begins with C1 that you received via email or bank alert.

2. We will notify you once your bank transfer has been successfully deposited.

How to locate my Interac reference number for CAD deposits?

After completing the deposit from your sending bank, you should receive either:

1. An email in your inbox (to the email address registered with your sending bank) that contains your 8 digit alphanumeric (begins with CA) / 12 digit alphanumeric (begins with C1) Interac reference number (it is case sensitive).

Email sample below:

It may take up to 30 minutes to receive this email from your bank. Please also check your spam folder.

OR

2. A message/notification in your sending bank’s message center in your online banking account (if you have turned off email notifications from your sending bank) that contains your 8 / 12 digit alphanumeric Interac reference number (it is case sensitive).

If you are unable to locate your Interac reference number, please contact us via live chat or [email protected]. We will be able to help recover it.

Note:

You only need to enter the Interac Reference Number if you forgot to include the Crypto.com Identification Number in the message field when making your deposit.

Troubleshooting

There are a few things to remember when making a bank transfer to your Crypto.com App:

  1. Your Named Account: We can only accept transfers from bank accounts opened under your own name. 3rd party transfers (e.g. payments from your customers, salary transferred by your employer, etc.) will not be accepted. Specifically, we will not accept transfers from crypto exchanges (e.g. Kraken, Bittrex, etc.).

  2. Common Issues: The most common reasons for your transfer being on hold are:

  • the name of your bank account does not fully match your name on our record

  • you sent the funds from a joint account

  • your transfer was not made from a bank, but a payments processing company

  • your transfer was not a CAD transfer or came from an unsupported institution (e.g. a crypto exchange)

  • You did not enter a correct Crypto.com identification number or Interac reference number

  • We currently only accept transfers from banks that support Autodeposit, refer to the list below. Non-Autodeposits won't be processed and refunds will take up to 30 days to appear in your bank account.

Please contact us via live chat or [email protected] if you do not receive your unique Interac reference number via email or bank alert.

When contacting our support, please be ready to provide us with supporting documents (e.g. a bank statement) showing your full name, the bank account you made the transfer from, and - ideally - the transaction itself.

  • Your bank may charge you transaction fees. Please check with your bank before proceeding.
