# e-Transfer Process

E-transfer is a convenient, fee-free way to give — but please note that it requires **two steps** to complete.

#### Step 1: Start Your Gift

Begin by selecting **E-transfer** as your donation method through the GiveWise donation form. You’ll enter your donation details and submit the form.

#### Step 2: Send the E-transfer from Your Bank

After submitting the form, you’ll receive a confirmation message with instructions — including the **email address to send your e-transfer to**.

\
**Important:** Your donation will not be complete until you log into your online banking and send the e-transfer using the exact details provided.

Once the e-transfer is sent, your gift will typically be processed within **1–3 business days**. You’ll receive a confirmation once it has been successfully received and added to your Giving Fund.

If you don’t complete the second step, your gift won’t go through.

Below is a sample message you will receive directing you or your donors to complete the e-transfer process.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://guide.givewise.ca/for-donors-getting-started-with-givewise/making-a-contribution/contribution-payment-methods/the-basics-credit-card-cheque-e-transfer/e-transfer-process.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
