**Why Aren’t You Receiving Interac e-Transfer Emails?**

First, let’s figure out why you might not be getting these emails. Here are some usual reasons:

**How to Fix Not Receiving Interac e-Transfer Emails**

1. **Check Your Spam or Junk Folder**

Most of the time, these emails end up in your spam folder. To check:

• Open your email.
• Go to the spam or junk folder.

• Ask the sender to confirm your email address.
• Have them resend the e-Transfer to the right address.

If your email provider is having problems, you might not get emails on time. To see what's up:
