Interac EMT's now flagging firearms sales.

[BenchrestJohn]

just when we thought everything was going smooth, interac has decided to flag email addresses that contains the word firearms, and will not allow payments to process. This not only includes email addresses with the name in it, but also the email address on your banks profile that the confirmations get sent back to.

and why the f..k would you use firearms words in email transfer. Sometimes stupid is stupid.

Maybe you should read it again... from the start... then make an ignorant comment

their domain name is their business name which contains the f-word in question....and since most emails are of the form user@domain.ext

This could be as simple as Interac's firewalls / web content filters filtering for "weapons, firearms, guns" like many organizations do with websites related to gambling, ####, weapons, etc. when censoring its users web browsing. Whether it's deliberate or poorly configured firewall rules is anyone's guess at this point.

The only way to find out (besides the dude that apparently knows the CEO) is to have enough people complain and see if they do anything about it. This should start with all affected dealers and us supporting one another.

This was first noticed when someone was sending a deposit for a puppy that we were selling. Their EMT would not deposit. The reason was that the confirmation email for EMTs deposited into my personal bank account gets sent to my store email. That is how far they have taken it.

Not to be a dick but it sounds like you've been flagged. Business EMT's must be deposited to the same account associated with the EMT email address.
So if someone sends you an EMT to your business email and you deposit it to your personal account or vice versa that has a different email attached to it then you will be flagged. Especially if it's happened more then once.
Ask me how I know this.

I will also bet it was C**C that has done this. Either way. Do yourself a favour and open another business account somewhere else. My guess is whichever bank this is will can your ass. You will get a letter stating the bank ending it's relationship with you and they will give you 60 days to make up any arrears. In the event that you have a personal account with the same bank and even worse Credit Cards they will all have to be paid off within 60 days or they go to creditors.
Ask me how I know this.

Yah, two or three letter banks only for me. Mainly cause I've never had a good experience with the other two.

Alternatively though , the banks are going through an Interac mandated upgrade to the iEMT system , which means changes at all the banks AND Interac, so if some poor outsourced programmer screwed up somewhere, that could have cause the issue also (banks are rolling these changes out over the next two months).

Yes...I would leave as well. Which bank?

Gun religion is way overdue... Why some can carry knife and we cannot? The Supreme Court of Canada stated that personal believes are the key, not common ideology, e.g. you cannot use "expert" on religion to fight personal believe...

Wtf...

So sad... a lonely puppy needs a home... brings tears to my eyes...

Wait, are you talking about a real puppy? I was envisioning a new code word for guns.
