How Do I Fund My 1Bitcoin.ca Account by eTransfer?

Interac e-Transfer Is the Fastest Way to Fund Your Account

Funding your 1Bitcoin.ca account by Interac e-Transfer is the quickest and most common option for Canadians. Most transfers are credited within hours, allowing you to move efficiently from funding to ownership.

Once your e-transfer is received and credited, you can proceed to Buy Bitcoin in Canada using 1Bitcoin.ca’s non-custodial, direct-to-wallet process.

Follow these steps carefully to avoid delays:

1. Log in to your 1Bitcoin.ca account
   Go to the Fund Account section.
2. Select “Interac e-Transfer”
   You’ll be shown the required transfer details.
3. Review the e-transfer instructions
   You’ll see:
   • The destination email (typically etransfer@autodeposit.ca)
   • A unique reference code (very important)

Important Funding Rules

• ✅ The e-transfer must come from a bank account in your own name

For larger funding amounts where Interac limits become restrictive, Canadians often switch to bank wire or coordinated execution through Bitcoin OTC Canada.

The same funding discipline applies to organizations and companies that fund Bitcoin purchases as part of structured policies, including those using Corporate Treasury Bitcoin Canada frameworks.

• Speed
• Convenience
• Same-day access to buying Bitcoin

Send the transfer correctly, include your reference code, and once credited, your next step is simple: buy Bitcoin and receive it directly into your own wallet.
