Sending money from UK monzo to a Canadian Bank Account?

In Canada we dont have a IBAN, we have SWIFT

My brother wants to send money from his monzo in the uk to my canadian branch. Either SIMPLII financial or SCOTIABANK

  1. What option will he need to select in his monzo to send to me?

  2. What fields will he need information from me for so i can get him that information? (bearing in mind we dont do IBAN ours is swift)

  3. Would it be considered a wire transfer?

When going through Monzo to Payments->Transfer Internationally and selecting “CAD” as the currency, Monzo/Wise asks for (using the “Local bank account” option):

  • Recipient type: (Person/Business)
  • Full name of the account holder
  • Institution number
  • Transit number
  • Account number
  • Account type: (Checking/Saving)

There is also the option to pay by “Interac” (instead of Local bank account) which asks for:

  • Recipient type: (Person/Business)
  • Full name of the account holder
  • Interac registered email

Hopefully these terms mean more to you then they do to me and you will be able to send your brother the details needed.
