If you work at a CIRO firm, your employer's compliance department will need to send us a letter authorizing you to open and/or continue to hold accounts at Wealthsimple (a "Compliance Letter"). This Compliance Letter should state that:

• Your employer has authorized you to open or maintain accounts with Wealthsimple
• Your employer is aware that you hold fully managed discretionary accounts, and/or self-directed accounts with Wealthsimple (excluding chequing and Registered Savings Accounts)

The Compliance Letter needs to include your account numbers. Learn how to find your account number(s).

An acceptable Compliance Letter must be printed on the CIRO firm's letterhead and include:

• The signature of a representative of your employer, typically a member of the compliance department
• Your name
• The name of the regulated person, if that isn't you (that is, a member of your household is employed by a CIRO firm)
• All account number(s) required to have duplicate statements arranged
  • If an account number mentioned on the letter is accurate but is only missing CAD or USD at the end of it, we can still accept this letter
• The date of issuance
• A clear request for Wealthsimple to arrange duplicate statements
  • If the CIRO firm doesn't want duplicate statements to be set up, we can accommodate this request
• A reference to the account(s) being designated or maintained as "PRO"
  • "PRO" refers to a "pro-regulated person". For more information, please contact your employer's compliance department
• The full mailing address and email address (if applicable) for statements to be delivered to the CIRO firm
  • We can deliver duplicate statements through physical statements or electronic delivery (SendSafely)

Please contact us once you have a Compliance Letter which addresses the above requirements, or if you require assistance or have any other questions.
