Wealthsimple 2024 Apple Promotion (the “Promotion”)

This promotion is sponsored by Wealthsimple Technologies Inc. (“Wealthsimple”). 

Promotion Period. The period to which individuals can register for the Promotion starts on October 25, 2024 at 12:01AM ET and ends on December 13, 2024 at 11:59PM ET (the “Promotion Period”).

Eligibility. To be eligible for the Promotion, the person must:

• be a new or existing Wealthsimple Self-directed Investing, Managed Investing, Crypto, Save, or Cash account (each a “Wealthsimple Account”) user, with all Wealthsimple accounts in good standing at the time of participation;
• be a legal resident of Canada;
• be the age of majority, or older, in their province/territory of residence at the time of participation; and
• meet the requirements set out below.

(a “ Client”).

Funding Period. The funding period begins at the time of the Client’s first registration of the Promotion during the Promotion Period and ends thirty (30) days after at 11:59pm ET (the “Funding Period”).

Qualifying Action. To participate in the Promotion, eligible Clients must: (i) first register for the Promotion during the Promotion Period via either: (a) submitting the linked Typeform survey from the Promotion marketing materials, (b) a promotional card included within the Wealthsimple app, (c) the Wealthsimple website, or (d) an invitation from a Wealthsimple Business Development Representative, then (ii) initiate deposit(s) from a third-party financial institution, institutional transfer(s), or crypto transfer(s) from their existing investment account at a Canadian investment institution other than Wealthsimple, totaling $100,000 or more into a Wealthsimple Account during the Funding Period (“Qualifying Funding”). Funds must be received by Wealthsimple within ninety (90) days of the end of the Funding Period to be considered as a Qualifying Funding. For greater certainty, transfers from entities affiliated with Wealthsimple, transfers between the Client’s Wealthsimple accounts, and Wealthsimple Work Group Plan transfers and deposits will not be considered a Qualifying Funding. 

There are no fees associated with the creation of a Wealthsimple Account. A Client can open a Wealthsimple Account by visiting https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca and following the instructions on how to create an account.  Further details on transferring an account to Wealthsimple can be found at  https://wsim.co/transfer-account.

If the Client’s Wealthsimple Account is an RESP, a Spousal RRSP, or a joint account (each a “Multiple Holder Account”) where there is a primary and secondary account holder, the primary account holder must be the individual registered for the Promotion to be eligible for the Reward (as defined below). Promotion activation by a secondary account holder in their capacity as a secondary account holder for a Multiple Holder Account is not considered valid activation for the purpose of this Offer. When the primary account holder is registered for the Promotion, any transfers, deposits, or withdrawals to or from the Wealthsimple Account made by the primary or the secondary account holder will count towards the Net Funding Amount (as defined below) for the primary account holder. For greater certainty, the secondary account holder will not be eligible for a Reward. 

Transfer Fee from External Institutions. There may be fees charged by an institution outside of Wealthsimple for the transfer of the Client’s account(s) to Wealthsimple. Wealthsimple will automatically reimburse the transfer-out fee per account from an institution if the Client’s Qualifying Funding is equal to or greater than $15,000 in a single account transfer. Please visit https://wsim.co/fee-reimbursement for further details.

Reward. The reward (“Reward”) is based on the cumulative transfers and deposits amount into the Wealthsimple Account less withdrawals or transfers made from the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s) during the Funding Period (“Net Funding Amount”) in accordance with the chart below:

Other specifications of the Reward not noted in these terms are subject to availability. Wealthsimple reserves the right to substitute the specifications of the Reward if the Client’s preferred specifications are not available. Wealthsimple is not responsible for any costs associated with using the Reward. The Reward remains subject to change, at our sole discretion. Wealthsimple reserves the right, for any reason and in its sole discretion, to substitute and/or modify the Reward with another prize that is of equal or greater value. Limit of one (1) Reward per Client. 

If Wealthsimple, as determined at its sole discretion, suspects fraudulent behaviour or gaming the system including, but not limited to, making withdrawals prior to the Funding Period and subsequently depositing part or all of those withdrawals for the purpose of benefiting from this Promotion, Wealthsimple reserves the right to include such withdrawals in the calculation of Net Funding Amount, disqualify the Client from participating this Promotion and to take any other action it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, removing the Reward retail value from the Wealthsimple account(s), or closing their Wealthsimple account(s). For greater certainty, transfers made between Client’s Wealthsimple account will not affect the Net Funding Amount.

The Reward is non-transferable, non-exchangeable, non-refundable, and has no cash surrender value. Unless specified in the terms of other promotions, this Promotion cannot be combined with other offers or promotion codes other than the Direct Deposit Incentive, Wealthsimple x Pine Mortgage Client Rebate Offer, and the Wealthsimple Referral Bonus Promotion.

If the Client has previously registered for a non-combinable promotion and subsequently registers for this Promotion, all deposits and transfers eligible for this Promotion will count towards this Promotion and not the previously registered non-combinable promotion(s).

If, after registering for this Promotion, the Client subsequently registers for another non-combinable promotion(s), please refer to the terms for those promotion(s) for details.

Delivery of Reward. After the Funding Period ends, eligible Clients will receive a communication on or around January 15, 2025, or when the full Net Funding Amount has settled in the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s), whichever is later (a “Notification Date”) on instructions to verify the specification of the Reward and mailing address within ninety (90) days of the Notification Date (“Preference Selection”). The mailing address must be a Canadian mailing address and cannot be a P.O. box address. Once a Client confirms the Preference Selection, the specification may not be changed. Subject to availability from the Reward provider, the Reward will begin to be distributed within sixty (60) days following the Preference Selection. The Reward will be sent to the Client via postal mail. All Wealthsimple account(s) must be in good standing at the time the Reward is sent. No responsibility is assumed by Wealthsimple once the Reward has been shipped. No responsibility is assumed for any delivery returned as undeliverable. Client(s) bears all risks to the Reward upon delivery. 

If a Client fails to complete the Preference Selection within ninety (90) days of their Notification Date, the Reward will be considered forfeited and no Reward will be sent to the Client. Unclaimed Reward, unresponsive communication, or Reward forfeiture will not be rewarded and has no cash value. 

There may be tax implications to the Reward. Please consult with an accountant or tax professional for additional guidance. Wealthsimple will not be issuing clients a tax slip to report Reward paid. Clients are solely responsible for any required tax reporting.

Currency. All currency shown in these terms and conditions are in Canadian dollars.

Hold Period. Unless specified herein, Clients who receive a Reward may not spend or otherwise remove: (i) the cumulative balance of the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s) as at the start date of the Funding Period, and (ii) more than 5% of the minimum cumulative Net Funding Amount required to obtain the Client’s applicable Reward from their Wealthsimple account(s) (“Withdrawal Limit”) for 365 days after the end of the Funding Period. If a Client goes over the Withdrawal Limit, the Reward retail value as stated in these Terms & Conditions may be deducted from their final withdrawal amount or otherwise recovered by Wealthsimple. Transfers between the Client’s own Wealthsimple account(s), withdrawals from the Home Buyers’ Plan or First Home Savings Account for the purpose of purchasing a home, annual mandatory minimum withdrawals from Life Income Fund or Registered Retirement Income Fund, and/or negative fluctuations in the Net Funding Amount solely due to market conditions are not be counted towards the Withdrawal Limit. Withdrawals on any profits, dividends, interests or benefits otherwise derived from the Net Funding Amount, and withdrawals from a Multiple Holder Account by the secondary account holder will be counted towards the Withdrawal Limit.
