How do I view or update my banking information?

Before you start:

You need to gather the following information about your Canadian financial institution (bank or credit union):

  • bank code (3 digits)
  • branch/transit number (5 digits)
  • your personal bank account number (7 to 12 digits - no spaces, hyphens or dashes); your account number is NOT the number on your debit or credit card.

We strongly recommend that you contact your bank to confirm that you have the correct information for these three numbers above. Entering incorrect or incomplete information will prevent your refund from arriving in your bank account.

  1. Sign in to Quest.
  2. Select the Finances tile.

Then select the Submit button. Note: This is only required the first time you enter banking information in Quest.

    Note: You can only have one bank account listed in Quest. To add a new account, you must first delete the existing account. To edit your bank account information or delete the bank account, go to your Bank Account Summary page and use the edit (pencil) button or delete (garbage can) button.
