National Bank clients can now use their online banking credentials to verify their identity online

TORONTO, April 22, 2026 /CNW/ - Interac Corp. (Interac) is expanding the Interac® verification service through a new collaboration with National Bank of Canada (National Bank). Through this integration, National Bank clients can now confirm their identity using their existing online banking credentials when accessing participating government and business services online.

The addition comes at an important time when Canadians are increasingly navigating essential services through digital channels, from government programs to everyday financial tasks. With National Bank now enabled, clients have an additional way to move through required verification checks using a familiar trusted pathway, without in-person steps or added complexity.

"Helping Canadians interact online with confidence requires consistent, reliable ways to confirm identity," said Fatema Pirone, Head, Interac Verified. "Interac verification continues to expand across Canada's financial institutions, and with the addition of National Bank, trusted digital identity verification is now within reach for the vast majority of Canadians."

"Our collaboration with Interac has been seamless and highly productive, reflecting a shared commitment to security in digital verification services," said Victor Glorion, Customer Domain Lead, Client Strategy & Experience, National Bank.  "By offering Interac verification service, we're providing our clients with a reliable and convenient way to confirm their identity online."
