Requests for Transfer from Template

The Request for Transfer service provides a fast, easy and convenient way to initiate payments from your accounts domiciled at virtually any financial institution in any country in the world.

The request for transfer service allows you to:

• Move funds between your own accounts at other banks
• Initiate payments from you own accounts at other banks to third parties
• Draw-down funds from your own or subsidiary accounts at other banks for credit to your operating accounts in Canada

What this means:

Scotiabank is simply a pass through point for MT101 Request for Transfer messages and takes no responsibility for affecting these payments or cancellations. To cancel, amend or trace payments, you must deal directly with the Financial Institution where the debit account is held.

Using ScotiaConnect, you can enter Request for Transfer instructions quickly and easily using templates you have previously set up on the system.

Navigate to Payments and select Requests for Transfer in the sub-menu, then choose the Create One Time tab.

1. Select the template that you’d like to use to make your payment
   1. Enter all or part of the Template ID or Beneficiary Name
   2. Or select a Debit Account
2. Click the red “Search” button

   • Original Amount: Specify this if different from the transaction currency/amount. For example, you may instruct the other financial institution to debit $100 USD (original amount) and transfer the equivalent of $160 CAD (transaction amount) to another of your accounts. Note: if either amount is entered when a template is originally set up, the amount cannot be modified when a wire payment is created using that template.
   • Exchange Rate/Rate Reference: If you have a foreign exchange contract, you can enter the foreign exchange rate to be used and the reference number. Otherwise, enter the Exchange Rate as 0.00 and the Rate Reference as SPOT. The receiving financial institution will apply the spot rate when they process your transaction.
