Pension pay dates and direct deposit

Leaving Canada?
If you’re living outside Canada and have signed up for U.S. direct deposit or foreign direct deposit, your pension payment will be deposited in your local currency. Because currency conversion rates fluctuate daily, the amount of money deposited into your account will vary from month to month. The conversion rate from Canadian dollar to local currency is at the market rate at the time the money is transferred from our payment provider to your bank. Banking information changes will be effective the following month it is received by OPB at the latest.
Note: While our payment provider does not deduct processing fees from your monthly pension, your local bank may charge you a fee for receiving the money.
