PAD-ACH Payments
PAD-ACH payments are an efficient and cost-effective method to electronically transfer funds to a US-based USD account.
Processing times
If your secure settlement is reconciled before 3pm MST, your ACH payment will be initiated that day. The beneficiary can expect the funds in approximately 1–3 business days, as processing times vary depending on the receiving bank.
A PAD-EFT is a convenient way to move funds between accounts or to send quick payments to your beneficiary's account within Canada.
Processing times
If your secure settlement is reconciled before 3pm MST, your EFT payment will be initiated that day. The beneficiary can expect the funds in approximately 1-2 business days, as processing times vary depending on the receiving bank.
In cases where your secure settlement is reconciled before 11:30 am MST and the beneficiary bank is a larger institution, a Canadian Dollar EFT may credit the beneficiary account the same-day.
Wires are a quick and secure global payment method, typically sent via the SWIFT network.
Processing times
If your secure settlement is reconciled before 2pm MST, corresponding payments within Canada and the US will typically credit the beneficiary’s account the same business day. International payments can take anywhere from 2-4 business days depending on the jurisdiction and the currency.
Fees
Olympia Trust charges $15* per wire. Typically the beneficiary’s intermediary and receiving bank will also charge a wire processing fee; this is unrelated to Olympia’s cost.

Bank Transfer
A bank transfer is a reliable method to transfer funds from your Canadian based account to one of ours (TD, CIBC, ATB, RBC, BMO and National Bank). This can be done at a branch with a teller, or depending on your banking relationship can be facilitated with your banking account manager.
To securely and efficiently reconcile your transfers, the bank must process the transfer per the directions on Olympia Trust’s transfer form. Returning the completed form to Olympia Trust notifies our team that your payment has been sent, and ensures that the funds are applied to your corresponding trust account.
