Do I need to switch my Interac sign-in partner?

If you’re not sure if you need to switch your Interac sign-in partner, check out these common scenarios to see what you need to do to sign in.

I want to switch my sign-in partner to Wealthsimple

Troubleshooting

Check out the information below if you need to switch sign-in providers or have trouble signing in to a government service with your Wealthsimple credentials. 

If you received an error that you already have a sign-in partner credential

If you didn't switch sign-in partners before attempting to sign in with your Wealthsimple credentials, your original sign-in partner credentials should still work. We recommend you use your original sign-in partner credentials to access government services. If you have issues with your original sign-in partner or want to switch to Wealthsimple, you may need to contact the service provider (the CRA, for example). 

If your credentials are invalid

If you can’t remember your Wealthsimple credentials, you can reset your password, then try to sign in again. Make sure you’re signing in with the email and password associated with your Wealthsimple account. 

“You don’t have an active Wealthsimple account” message

If you see “You don’t have an active Wealthsimple account” after attempting to sign in to a government service, you’ll have to either

• Open a Wealthsimple account if you don’t already have one, or 
• Sign in to your Wealthsimple account and follow the prompts to verify your identity to complete your account set up.
