Get your CRA benefits faster!
We’ve launched a new feature within Integris Online Banking to help you enroll for Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) Direct Deposit Service. We understand the financial impacts of COVID-19 and want to ensure that you can send your banking information seamlessly to CRA so that you can receive your benefits with as little financial impact as possible.
What CRA benefits are eligible for Direct Deposit?
- Canada Emergency Response Benefit
- Canada Emergency Student Benefit
- Income tax refund
- GST/HST credit and any similar provincial and territorial payments
- Canada workers benefit
- Deemed overpayment of tax
What is Direct Deposit?
Direct deposit is a secure electronic transfer of funds deposited straight into your bank account, replacing the need for paper cheques. Deposits are credited to your account quicker because CRA doesn’t have to mail the cheque to you, ensuring you get the help you need, when you need it.
If you’re eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) or the Canada Emergency Student Benefit (CESB), we encourage you to sign up for direct deposit as soon as possible to receive your benefit payments on time.
What you need to know about the CRA Direct Deposit feature
The direct deposit information will take up to 2 business days to appear in your CRA account.
If you already have direct deposit set up with CRA then no action is required, you will continue to receive any amounts to be paid to you by the CRA to your existing account at Integris or other financial institution.
If you wish to make a change to your existing CRA direct deposit information, complete the set up using Online Banking and any amounts to be paid to you by CRA will be directly deposited to your Integris account. This will replace all previous CRA direct deposit authorizations.
Please note, that this new benefit is not available on our mobile app.
