The EFT is a three-step process:

1. Create your banking information online through My Banking Information;
2. Validate the number of cents in your bank account to successfully confirm your banking information; and
3. Request a refund if you have a credit amount in your Student Account statement.

Finding Your Banking Information

My bank does not appear in the drop-down list. How do I continue?

The branch or institution number for PC Financial is 010 and the transit number is 30800. To check the accuracy of the branch and transit number, visit Personal Banking FAQs - President's Choice Financial.

Address Information

I do not have a Canadian mailing address. What do I do?

You must have a current Canadian address to sign up for the electronic funds transfer. To add a Canadian mailing address to your student record, go to My Online Services and select “Change my address and contact information”.

I can’t remember my postal code, is it required for the transaction to be complete?

Yes. In order for your Canadian address to be valid it must include the street, city, province and postal code. Go to My Online Services and select “Change my address and contact information” to update your record.

Email Information

Does York require me to add an email address to my contact information?

Yes, an email address is required for the system to recognize your file as complete.

I typed in my email address and the file was not updated. What happened?

Check to make sure that the format you used for your email address is correct, for example:
  name@domain.com
  name.othername@domain.com
Make sure you do not add any characters, like a period, after you type in your email address.
