You can receive e-transfers directly into your Cash account. In order to receive e-transfers in your Cash account, we will assign your Cash account a unique Wealthsimple email address used exclusively for this feature.

Start receiving e-transfers

To start receiving e-transfers, you will need a Cash handle. 

Once you have your Cash handle, we will automatically generate your Wealthsimple e-transfer email address. Your friends and family can then send money to this address using their bank’s e-transfer portal.

We’ll send you a notification anytime someone sends an e-transfer to your Cash account. Funds from e-transfers are automatically deposited and available to send, spend or move to an investment account instantly.
