How do I make changes to my personal details in International Transfers?
To make changes to personal details in the system, please reach out to the International Transfers support TEAM at support@internationaltransfers.ca or call 1-604-256-6200.
What if I don't have any valid government photo ID?
Senders that do not have valid government photo ID can contact International Transfers at support@internationaltransfers.ca or call 1-604.256.6200 to discuss what other forms of ID may be acceptable.
Does International Transfers allow a Rural Route (RR) or a PO Box for a sender address?
If the sender resides in a rural area, a Rural Route or land/lot description will suffice to meet the physical address recordkeeping requirements. However, for the purpose of ID verification, which is part of a two-step (dual) identity verification, a driver’s license needs to be submitted to confirm RR or PO Box. Unless ID verification and recordkeeping requirements are met, the sender will not be authorized to trade.
