what is eft credit canada

EFT credit Canada usually means an electronic funds transfer deposit from the Canadian government or another payer that shows up on your bank statement. In most cases, it is not a fee or charge —it is money being deposited into your account, often for benefits like the Canada Child Benefit, GST/HST credit, or other government payments.
