Overview
To deposit funds, you need to link a Canadian chequing or savings account. We use Flinks or Plaid to securely request your online banking information. Or, you can choose a different funding method.
Before you continue:
- You can't link:
- investment accounts,
- line of credit or credit card accounts, or
- accounts you don't own (you can't link a family member's account).
- You can only link a corporate account if you have a Wealthsimple Business account open. Learn more about linking corporate accounts.
- You must upgrade to USD accounts to link a USD bank account held at a Canadian bank. Learn more about upgrading to USD accounts.
