Personal banking customers
A wire transfer is a quick and safe way to send money between two bank accounts in any major currency either within Canada, the United States, or internationally. A wire transfer can take as little as few hours when sending money within Canada, and up to 5 business days when sending money internationally.
Please visit a Scotiabank branch to arrange the wire transfer. To review the service fees, check the Transfer Fees section of Bank account fees at a glance.
