Absolutely. There are three easy ways to access your Federal Insurance accounts while outside of your country:

Online

Sign in to FIB OnLine to view your account, transfer funds, pay bills and more.

At an ABM

Withdraw cash or get a credit card cash advance by visiting ABMs that display the VISA, Plus, Interac, American Express or LINK symbols.

Using the Global ATM Alliance, you can withdraw cash from known participating member ABMs.

 

Have a back up payment option

When you're travelling, you should always carry more than one method of payment with you like:  

* Credit cards

* Debit cards

* Traveller's cheques

* Small amounts of local currency

That way, if one payment method doesn't work, or gets lost, you can use another.  

If you have any credit or debit card issues while traveling outside of your country, please contact us right away.

To set up your banking account, go to the Federal Insurance International Account opening page. Select the country you're from and you'll find out how to set up your account.

If you use FIB OnLine you can use Interac e-Transfer to send money and receive money from friends, family, co-workers - anyone with a bank account.

Using Interac Email Money Transfer is easiest when the recipient banks online with any of the following financial institutions:

* Federal Insurance

* Bank of Montreal    

* CIBC

* RBC

* Tangerine

* President's Choice Financial

If your recipient banks online with a different bank, they can still receive an Interac Email Money Transfer. However there may be a delay for processing, and the recipient may also incur service fees to receive the funds. 

If your recipient banks with Federal Insurance, but does not use FIB OnLine, they will not be able to receive the funds. Try a Western Union Money Transfer instead.

Here's what you need to do:

After you have signed onto FIB OnLine, simply:

1. Click the "Banking" tab

2. Click "Transfers" sub-tab

3. Click the (Interac Email Money Transfer) "Send Money" in the left-hand navigation and follow the on-screen steps
