Common questions on payouts/withdrawals

Did not get the security question answer?

Gigadat sends a unique security answer via SMS (standard data and message rates may apply) or email for each withdrawal. Check your profile under the merchant’s website to ensure you have your current email and mobile number listed.

When will I get the e-transfer notification?

Gigadat will send you an email once the withdrawal request is received. The security answer will be sent when Gigadat processes the withdrawal. The e-Transfer notification to accept the funds will be next the next day.

What can cause a delay in processing my withdrawals?

  • 1. Gigadat processes withdrawals Monday to Friday only. Withdrawals are not processed on weekends or bank holidays.
  • 2. Using an incorrect mobile number or email address will cause delays in getting your e-Transfer. Check your profile under the merchant’s site to ensure you have your current email and mobile number listed.

How can I avoid entering the wrong security answer?

Cut and paste the answer we send you into the e-transfer notification when prompted.

What happens if I answer the security question incorrectly?

The e-transfer will be canceled if you answer the security answer incorrectly three times. The funds will be returned to the merchant and should be automatically credited back to your online account with the merchant within 24 hours. You can start a new request with the merchant at this point.

Can I register for Autodeposit?

Yes. The availability of the autodeposit feature, along with the experience to register, will vary by financial institution. To register for Interac e-transfer autodeposit, log into your online or mobile banking account and go to your Interac e-transfer profile settings. Once there, add the identifier (email address or text) you want to be associated with Interac e-transfer autodeposit and select the account into which you want funds deposited. You will receive a request to verify registration. The next time someone sends funds to the identifier registered, the money will be deposited directly into your account without the need to answer a security question.
