Buy Ethereum with Interac e-Transfer
Your price is locked when you confirm. Coins are sent the moment your e-Transfer is deposited. Identity verification is required once, on your first purchase.
Buy Ethereum (ETH) in Canada in minutes. Simply send an Interac e-Transfer from your bank account and receive your ETH fast. Bitcoin4U lets you buy Ethereum with Interac directly through your everyday online banking, with no third-party wallets, vouchers, or wire delays sitting between you and the second-largest cryptocurrency. Because Interac e-Transfer rides on the trusted, established banking infrastructure already backed by 250+ Canadian banks and credit unions, it ranks among the quickest and safest ways to move money inside Canada. The majority of transfers settle in a few short minutes, though certain financial institutions may need up to roughly half an hour to confirm.
Ethereum is the leading smart-contract platform and the engine driving much of decentralized finance, NFTs, and the wider Web3 economy, which is precisely why so many Canadians add ETH as a long-term holding alongside Bitcoin. When you buy Ethereum via e-Transfer on Bitcoin4U, every figure is presented before you commit: the live exchange rate, the amount of Ethereum you will receive, and any costs that apply are all displayed clearly, so the price you confirm is exactly the price you pay.
A one-time identity verification (KYC) is completed directly from your mobile device. Simply provide your address, email, phone number, government-issued ID, occupation, and a quick selfie. The process typically takes less than a minute and is only required for your first purchase. After that, buying Ethereum is fast and seamless. Your personal details are handled with care and protected exactly as described in our Privacy Policy.
Once your identity verification is complete and your Interac e-Transfer has been received, your Ethereum is sent promptly to your wallet. Because verification is completed upfront, there are no unnecessary delays or hold periods—your ETH is delivered as soon as your funds clear.
With fast processing, transparent pricing, and secure bank-grade payment methods, Bitcoin4U makes buying Ethereum in Canada simple and reliable, whether you're making your first purchase or adding to your portfolio.

Buying Ethereum with Interac e-Transfer: common questions
Can I buy Ethereum with Interac e-Transfer in Canada?
Yes. Bitcoin4U accepts Interac e-Transfer from any Canadian bank or credit union that offers it, which is over 250 of them. Enter the amount and the wallet address you want the Ethereum sent to, verify your identity once, send the e-Transfer from a bank account in your own name, and the Ethereum is sent to your wallet once the deposit is received and matches your order.
What Ethereum address and network do I need to buy ETH?
Bitcoin4U sends ETH on the Ethereum mainnet (Layer 1) only, not on Arbitrum, Base or any other Layer 2 network. Enter the 42-character address that starts with 0x, in its mixed-case (checksummed) form: the form rejects an address typed in all lowercase or all uppercase, and it does not accept ENS names such as name.eth. No memo or destination tag is needed. An exchange account is fine as long as it is in your own name; choose that exchange's Ethereum (ERC-20) deposit option, and double-check the address and network before you confirm.
How long does it take to receive my Ethereum?
Ethereum orders are sent as soon as your e-Transfer is deposited and matches your order; they are not batched. Ethereum adds a block about every 12 seconds, so the transaction usually confirms within a minute or two, and your receipt email carries the transaction ID. Most banks deliver an e-Transfer within a few minutes; a few take up to 30 minutes.
Who pays the Ethereum gas fee when I buy ETH?
The Ethereum gas is paid from Bitcoin4U's wallet, so it is not deducted from the ETH you ordered: you receive the full amount shown. Instead, a flat fee in Canadian dollars is part of your total and appears as the fee on the confirmation screen before you finalize. Current rates are on the fees page.
Can I buy Ethereum with cash at a Bitcoin ATM in Canada?
Yes. Every Bitcoin4U ATM sells Ethereum for Canadian cash, along with Bitcoin, Litecoin, USD Coin, Solana and XRP. Select Ethereum on the screen, scan the QR code of your own Ethereum wallet and insert your cash. The machines are buy-only. Find the closest Bitcoin ATM on the ATM locator, or read our guide to buying Ethereum with cash.
Is Bitcoin4U a registered Canadian business?
Yes. Bitcoin4U (Innovative Horizon Technologies Inc.) is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business, registration number M19742234, and with Revenu Quebec, registration number 16220. Canadian law requires identity verification: it is done once, on your phone, and usually takes under a minute. See the policies page.
What are the fees and limits for buying with e-Transfer?
The amount of Ethereum you will receive and every fee are shown on screen before you confirm. The quote holds for one hour; if your e-Transfer arrives after that, the Ethereum amount is recalculated at the rate when it lands. The minimum order is $50, and Interac e-Transfer purchases go up to $25,000 CAD per 24 hours; for larger amounts, buy by wire transfer ($25,000 or more). Current rates are on the fees page.
Do I need my own wallet to buy Ethereum from Bitcoin4U?
You need an address to receive the Ethereum: a wallet you control, or an account at an exchange in your own name. Bitcoin4U is non-custodial: the Ethereum goes straight to the address you enter and we never hold your coins. If you do not have a wallet yet, our wallet guide compares the options so you can set one up before you buy.
