Qualifying Action. To participate in the Promotion, eligible Client must click onto the Promotion marketing card located within the Wealthsimple app to register for the Promotion, then sign up and fund at least CAD$1 to a new or previously unfunded Wealthsimple Managed Investing account (a “Promotion Account”) within 30 days of registering for the Promotion (“Qualifying Action”). Transfers between Client’s existing Wealthsimple account(s) do not qualify as funding for the purpose of this Promotion. 

There are no fees associated with the creation of a Promotion Account. A Client can open a Promotion Account by visiting https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca and following the instructions on how to create an account. 

Managed accounts are offered by Wealthsimple Inc., a registered portfolio manager in each province and territory of Canada. Assets in your Invest account are held in an account with Wealthsimple’s affiliated custodial broker, Wealthsimple Investments Inc. (“WSII”). WSII is a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (“CIRO”). Customer accounts held at WSII are protected by Canadian Investor Protection Fund (“CIPF”) within specified limits in the event WSII becomes insolvent. A brochure describing the nature and limits of coverage is available upon request or at CIPF. Wealthsimple Inc. is not a member of CIRO nor a member of CIPF.

Bonus. A cash bonus of CAD$25 (the “Bonus”) will be available to qualified Clients provided the Qualifying Action is satisfied. Limit one (1) Bonus per qualified Client.

Application of Bonus. Once the Qualifying Action is satisfied, the Bonus will be applied to the Client’s Promotion Account within ten (10) business days. This Bonus is non-transferrable and cannot be applied retroactively. The Bonus remains subject to change, at Wealthsimple’s sole discretion. 

There may be tax implications to the Bonus. If the account which the Bonus will be applied to is a RRSP or TFSA account, the Bonus will be reported by Wealthsimple as a contribution to CRA. Clients are required to review their available contribution room prior to making a contribution to their registered account. Any excess contribution penalties that arise from a contribution are solely the responsibility of the Clients. If Clients require tax advice, please contact their personal tax advisor.

The Promotion may be used in conjunction with other promotions except the Wealthsimple Discovery Promotion. If the Client had previously registered for the Wealthsimple Discovery Promotion during the Promotion Period and subsequently registers for this Promotion, all Qualifying Action will count towards this Promotion and not the Wealthsimple Discovery Promotion.

Hold Period. Clients who receive a Bonus must keep the Bonus in their Promotion Account (or another Wealthsimple account) for 180 days from the day the Bonus is applied or the Bonus may be deducted from their final withdrawal amount or otherwise recovered by Wealthsimple.

Release. By participating in the Promotion, Client assumes all risk of injury, illness, disease, death, or any other damage which may arise in connection with their participation in the Promotion. Without limiting the foregoing, client hereby: (a) forever releases and discharges Wealthsimple and its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, related and associated entities and employees, directors, officers, suppliers, agents, sponsors and administrators of each (collectively, the “Releasees”), from and against any and all claims, actions, costs, liabilities, judgments, damages, obligations, losses, penalties, and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including legal fees) (collectively, the “Claims”) in any way arising directly or indirectly out of any injury, loss, or damage that the Client may suffer as a result of, or in connection with the participation in the Promotion or any promotion-related activity, including the posting of the Bonus in their Promotion account and subsequent use of the Bonus; and (b) indemnifies, defends and holds harmless the Releasees from and against any and all damages, loss and expenses, including legal fees, which may be suffered directly or indirectly by reason of the Client’s own negligence or willful misconduct during or in connection with their participation in the Promotion.
