You can update your bank details at any time via the Customer Online Tracking System, using the log in details provided to you after you initially uploaded your claim. This is the most secure way to update personal information. Please note: if it is close to your payment due date you should also contact us by phone on 1-800-OK-CANON to inform us you will be updating these, so the payment does not go on the old account details on file.
Payment
Once your claim has been successfully validated we will begin the payment process and you will receive an email informing you of the expected date by which the payment will be transferred to the bank account details you have provided. NOTE: it can take between 3 – 5 for some banks to process the payment and for it to show on your statement.
Please note that cashback promotion payments will be made in the name of Benamic or Interpay Ltd., so your bank details will most likely reflect that name and not Canon.

Upon having successfully registered online for a Canon cashback promotion, you will be sent by email a confirmation of your application containing both your reference number and personalized log-in details for a website on which you can check the status of your claim and its progress to payment.
If you have registered any incorrect information, this will reflect on that site and you will also be sent an email informing you of the information still required. The quickest way for you to provide us with any missing information is by logging in to that website and updating your details.
You can quickly check the status of your claim here and enter your claim reference number (this is on the top right of the confirmation email sent to you which you would have received when you submitted your claim).

We aim to make payments within 28 days of the e-mail confirming the validation of your claim – this is not within 28 days of your registration. Once received, cashback applications need to be processed by Canon to ensure that we have all the necessary information to validate your claim and arrange payment. Missing or incorrect information risks delaying the validation and payment so please check that you have provided all the necessary correct information. NOTE: it can take between 3 – 5 business days for some banks to process the payment and for it to show on your statement.
We want this process to be as smooth as possible, but Canon cannot be held responsible for any retailers/sellers incorrectly advising customers that payments are made within 28 days of the date of purchase.
Please note you can check your claim here anytime with our Claim Tracker, using your unique claim reference number (this is on the top left of the confirmation email sent to you which you would have received when you submitted your claim).
Canon cashback payments can currently only be made by bank transfer from our bank to the personal bank account details that you have provided at the time of registration.
