If you’ve recently tried to make an online transfer to another local bank or credit union account and it was returned, here're tips to help you update the account format details so you can send transfers successfully.

Royal Bank of Canada (RBC)

Beneficiary Account Number: 1234567 (Example) - Only 7 digits required
No transit code is required in the account number field
Select the branch where the account was opened and not where the payee does their business (Example - If an account was opened at RBTT Six Roads, even though the physical location is no longer there, they must use that for the transfer to work)

Scotiabank (BNSB)

Only the payee’s account number is required, no transit code
The account number should be 9-digits. If the account number is less than 9-digits, please add zeros at the beginning (Example - 123456 should be 000123456)
A Branch location must be selected (Broad St/Bridgetown | Haggatt Hall | Rockley | Warrens)

Barbados Public Workers Cooperative Credit Union (BPWCCUL)

Enter the account number without any share id e.g 023789 and not 023789-01. The -01 is usually the share id.
In some instances, if the account number is only 5 digits please place a zero at the beginning of the number e.g: 011111 and not 11111
