Security Answers on Transaction Receipts

Created by Akunna Okorie-Tanko, Modified on Mon, 1 Dec, 2025 at 1:22 PM by Akunna Okorie-Tanko

The security answer is an essential part of the INTERAC transaction process. It is displayed directly on the transaction receipt, which allows your recipient to verify the transfer. This means that when you complete a transaction, both you and the recipient can see the security answer on the receipt, ensuring that the transfer is legitimate and secure.


No Separate Email for Security Reasons

While it may seem convenient to receive the security answer via email along with your transaction receipt, we do not send it separately for security reasons. Sending sensitive information like the security answer through email could expose it to potential risks, such as unauthorized access or phishing attempts. By keeping this information on the transaction receipt only, we help protect your financial information and maintain the integrity of your transaction.
