Any Bonus applied per these terms and conditions would be towards the primary account holder. For greater certainty, the secondary account holder will not be eligible for a Bonus.

CDIC protects eligible deposits held at CDIC member institutions in case of a member institution’s failure. WSPI and WSII are not CDIC member institutions. Under the trust framework, CDIC insures eligible cash balances up to $100,000 per beneficiary, per member institution, provided certain disclosure rules are met. Coverage is free and automatic. Learn more about how CDIC protection works. Funds must be spread across at least 10 CDIC member institutions in order for up to $1,000,000 in deposits to benefit from applicable CDIC coverage. The advertised interest rate for the Chequing Account is derived from interest earned by Wealthsimple on the funds. The Funds are settled with any CDIC member(s) one business day following the date that Funds are reflected in the account.
