FAQ

Eligibility

What accounts are eligible?

Trade, Managed Investing, and Crypto accounts are eligible. Cash deposits are not eligible; only account transfers from another investment institution qualify.

 

Is there a minimum transfer amount?

Yes. You need to transfer at least $25,000 in total to qualify. Transfers can be split across multiple accounts as long as the combined total meets the minimum.

Registering

Do I need to register before I transfer?

Yes. You must register for the promotion first; transfers initiated before registration will not qualify.
 

How do I register? 

Through an invite in your Wealthsimple app or web account, or through an invitation from a Wealthsimple representative.

 

Can I register more than once?

Yes. Coming soon, you will be able to register more than once after your qualification period ends. All funding initiated during the qualification period will count towards that period, regardless of when those funds successfully land in your account. The total maximum eligible qualifying funding for the promotion is $2,000,000, regardless of how many times you participate in the offer.

Qualifying Transfers

What counts as a qualifying transfer?

Account transfers from another investment institution (e.g., an existing TFSA or RRSP) into a Wealthsimple Trade, Managed Investing, or Crypto account. The transfer must be initiated within 30 days of registration.
 

What doesn't count?

Cash deposits, Interac e-Transfers, deposits from a Wealthsimple Chequing account, transfers between your own Wealthsimple accounts, and Group Plan transfers.

 

How long do I have to fund after registering?

You have 30 days from registration. Transfers must be initiated within that window and received by Wealthsimple within 90 days of the end of that 30-day qualification period.

 

Does the full transfer amount need to be settled or completed before my funding window closes? 

No. As long as the transfer is initiated within your 30-day window, it can settle up to 90 days after the window ends and still count.

The Bonus

How is the bonus calculated?

1% of your net qualifying transfers, that's your total transferred amount minus any withdrawals and transferred margin debit balances, up to a maximum of $2,000,000 qualifying funding, or a maximum bonus of $20,000.

 

When do I get paid?

If you qualify, your first bonus will be paid within 30 days after the Promotion Period or after the full Net Funding Amount has settled, whichever is later. You’ll be paid on or around the same day each month for the full 24-month period.

 

Do I need a Chequing account? 

Yes. You'll need a Wealthsimple Chequing account in good standing to receive payouts. If you don't have one by the time a payment is issued, you'll be notified to open one. Unclaimed bonuses will expire if you do not choose an account within 90 days of qualifying.

 

What happens if I withdraw funds?

During your Hold Period, you’ll be able to pay bills, transact using PADs, make a withdrawal via your margin or portfolio line of credit accounts, make qualified LIF, RIF, HBP and FHSA withdrawals, and pay your Wealthsimple Credit Card bill without affecting your Available to Withdraw amount.  

We’ll also give you a 20% buffer you can use without reducing your payouts. Beyond that, we’ll only reduce your monthly payouts in proportion to any money moved out of Wealthsimple.  

If you make withdrawals and transfers out, that exceed your Available to Withdraw amount, we’ll send you an email to let you know. Then, if your required balance is not restored by your next payment date, any future payments will be prorated based on the amount still held in your Wealthsimple accounts. After that point, even if you fund your Wealthsimple accounts back to the original qualifying amount, your bonus payments will not return to their original value.  

Any bonuses that are missed while your balance is insufficient will not be given again. If we suspect fraudulent behaviour, we reserve the right to recover the bonuses previously paid to you.

Other Questions

I have a joint account, who gets the bonus?

Only the primary account holder is eligible to register and receive the bonus. Transfers by the secondary account holder count toward the primary's net funding amount, but the secondary account holder is not eligible for a bonus.

 

Can I combine this with other promotions?

This promotion cannot be combined with other active Wealthsimple promotions, with the exception of the Wealthsimple Monthly Millionaire Contest, Wealthsimple Referral Program, Mortgage Cash Back Offer, and Direct Deposit Incentive. If you're registered in a non-combinable promotion when you enroll in this one, your transfers will count toward this promotion only.

 

Are there tax implications?

Bonuses may be taxable. Clients are responsible for their own tax reporting.

 

Will transfer fees be reimbursed?

Wealthsimple will reimburse one transfer-out fee per account from your previous institution if the qualifying transfer from that account is $25,000 or more. See our full policy here

 

Terms and Conditions

Wealthsimple 1% Match (the "Promotion")

This Promotion is sponsored by Wealthsimple Technologies Inc. (together with its affiliates "Wealthsimple").

Effective Date. Effective from May 4, 2026 at 12:01am ET(the "Effective Date").

Qualification Period. The qualification period begins at 12:01am ET on the day of the Client's first registration of the Promotion from the Effective Date and ends thirty (30) days after at 11:59pm ET (the "Qualification Period").

Eligibility. To be eligible for the Promotion, the person must, at the time of participation, including when the Bonus (as defined below) is awarded:

• Be a new or existing Self-directed Investing, Managed Investing, Crypto account (each a “Wealthsimple Account”) user, with all Wealthsimple accounts in good standing;
• be a legal resident of Canada;
• be the age of majority, or older, in their province/territory of residence; and

• meet the requirements set out below. 

  (the “Client”).

Incentives. To qualify for any Bonus (as defined below), eligible Clients must: (i) first register for the Promotion then (ii) complete the Qualifying Funding (as defined below) during the Qualification Period.

Bonus. The cash bonus (the “Bonus”) will be calculated based on the cumulative account transfer amounts received into a Wealthsimple Account, up to a maximum of $2,000,000, less withdrawals and any transferred margin debit balances during the Qualification Period (the “Net Funding Amount”). On Qualifying Transfers (as defined below), a cash bonus of 1% calculated based on the market value of the Net Funding Amount will be applied. The market value of the Net Funding Amount is calculated as of the date to which Wealthsimple receives a Qualifying Transfer, net of any applicable fees, including but not limited to, transfer fees and foreign exchange fees. Where a Qualifying Transfer is in US currency, the Bonus will be calculated based on the market value at the exchange rate as of the date to which Wealthsimple receives the Qualifying Transfer. All Bonuses will be paid in Canadian currency.

Qualifying Funding. To participate in the Promotion, eligible Clients must initiate a qualified institutional transfer(s), margin transfer(s) or crypto transfer(s) totalling $25,000 or more from their existing investment account(s) at a Canadian investment institution other than Wealthsimple to a Wealthsimple Account during the Qualification Period (a “Qualifying Funding”). Qualifying Transfers may consist of multiple transfers so long as the total meets the $25,000 minimum requirement. Transfer(s) must be initiated within thirty (30) days of registering for the promotion. For greater certainty, the value of the transaction is taken from the date in which the transfer completes into the Wealthsimple account. Funds must be received by Wealthsimple within ninety (90) days of the end of the Qualification Period to be considered as a Qualifying Transfer for the Bonus. 

For greater certainty, deposits into the Client’s Wealthsimple accounts, transfers from entities affiliated with Wealthsimple, transfers between the Client’s Wealthsimple accounts, and Wealthsimple for Business Group Plan transfers and deposits will not be considered a Qualifying Transfer.  

If the Client's Wealthsimple Account is a Spousal RRSP or a joint account where there is a primary and secondary account holder, only the primary account holder will be considered the Client for the purpose of this Promotion, and any transfers to the Wealthsimple Account made by 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 Bonus/Reward (as defined below).

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 Bonus (as defined below). Registrations by a secondary account holder in their capacity as a secondary account holder for a Multiple Holder Account are not considered valid registrations for the purpose of this Promotion. When the primary account holder is registered for the Promotion, any transfers, deposits, or withdrawals to and from the Wealthsimple Account made by the primary or the secondary account holder will count towards the calculation of the Net Funding Amount (as defined below) for the primary account holder. 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.

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. 

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 Transfer is equal to or greater than $25,000 in a single account transfer. For further details and conditions, please visit https://wsim.co/fee-reimbursement.

Application of Bonus. In order to receive the Bonus, the Client must have a Wealthsimple chequing account, where they are the primary account owner, (“Chequing Account”) that is in good standing. Clients who do not have a Chequing Account by the time a Bonus is issued will have ninety (90) days upon the first Chequing Account opening requirement notification to open a Chequing Account. Any Bonus not applied to a Chequing Account will expire after ninety (90) days of issuance and any expired Bonus will be considered forfeited by the Client. Wealthsimple is not liable for any forfeited Bonuses and any forfeiture will not be reissued. 

The Bonus will be applied as twenty-four (24) equal monthly payments to the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s) within thirty (30) days after the full Net Funding Amount has settled in the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s). Once the first Bonus payment is applied, the remaining Bonus payments will be applied on or around the same day of each subsequent month. All Wealthsimple account(s) must be in good standing at the time the Bonus is applied. 

The Bonus is non-transferrable, and cannot be applied retroactively. The Bonus remains subject to change, at Wealthsimple’s sole discretion.

Hold Period. Unless specified herein, Clients who receive a Bonus may not spend or otherwise remove: (i) the cumulative balance of the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s) as at the start date of the Qualification Period, and (ii) more than 20% of the cumulative Net Funding Amount (together, the “Withdrawal Limit”) for seven hundred and thirty (730) days after the end of the Qualification Period. 

If a Client goes over the Withdrawal Limit, and is unable to replenish the required balance before the next Bonus payment, subsequent Bonus payments will be adjusted in accordance with the withdrawal amount proportionate to the Net Funding Account. Any ceased or missed Bonus amount due to the foregoing adjustment(s) will be considered forfeited and will not be awarded. Subsequent replenishment of the required balance after a pro-rata adjustment(s) will not increase the remainder Bonus payments. Transfers between the Client's own Wealthsimple account(s), and/or negative fluctuations in the Net Funding Amount solely due to market conditions will 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. Payments to a Client’s Wealthsimple credit card, bills, Pre-authorized Debits (PADs), 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, margin debit balance withdrawals or borrowing from a portfolio line of credit will not count towards the Withdrawal Limit.

Gamification or Fraudulent Behaviour. If the Client makes withdrawals prior to the Qualification Period, regardless of whether part or all of those withdrawals are subsequently deposited back for the purpose of benefiting from this Promotion, or if Wealthsimple, as determined at its sole discretion, suspects fraudulent behaviour or gaming the system, Wealthsimple reserves the right, to include such withdrawals in the calculation of the Net Funding Amount, to disqualify the Client from participating in this Promotion and to take any other action it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, removing the awarded Bonus from the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s), or closing their Wealthsimple account(s). For greater certainty, transfers made between a Client's own Wealthsimple account(s) will not affect the Net Funding Amount.

Tax Implications. There are tax implications to bonuses of this nature in most instances. Please consult with an accountant or tax professional for additional guidance. Wealthsimple will not be issuing clients a tax slip to report Bonuses paid to a non-registered account. Clients are solely responsible for any required tax reporting.

Combinability. Unless specified in the terms of other promotions, this Promotion cannot be combined with other offers or promotion codes other than the Wealthsimple Monthly Millionaire June 2026 Contest, Wealthsimple Referral Promotion, Wealthsimple Mortgage Cash Back Offer, Direct Deposit Incentive, and the Super Boost Referral Promotion.

If a Client had 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 and conditions for those promotion(s) for details.

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

Release. By participating in the Promotion, the 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, the 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) 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 Wealthsimple 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.

General. Wealthsimple reserves the right to cancel, amend, withdraw or restrict the Promotion at any time without notice. Wealthsimple is the sole arbiter of these rules and any other issue arising under the Promotion. If Wealthsimple suspects fraudulent or abusive behaviour, gaming of the system, inappropriate, offensive or derogatory language or information or a violation of these terms, as determined in Wealthsimple’s sole and absolute discretion, Wealthsimple reserves the right to remove all promotions from the Wealthsimple account(s) and take any other action it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, removing the Bonus or closing the Wealthsimple account(s).
