Kraken bolsters its Canadian offering

Expanded Interac e-Transfer funding

We have added Interac e-Transfer as a funding option for all of our Canadian clients, regardless of how you access Kraken. It is now accessible across Kraken’s Mobile and Web platforms.

Safely and securely conducting over a billion transactions per year, Interac e-Transfer is used by 90% of all Canadians to send CAD electronically. So what better partner to help us further our mission of accelerating the global adoption of crypto so that everyone can achieve financial freedom and inclusion?

To celebrate, we’ve reduced our Interac e-Transfer fee to 0.5%, providing cost-effective access to Kraken’s excellent spot pricing via deep liquidity and tight trading spreads.
