A wire transfer is an alternative method to add funds to your Wealthsimple Invest or Trade & Crypto account. 

Unlike a standard deposit, a wire transfer allows you to move CAD or USD from a Canadian or U.S. institution to Wealthsimple.

Set up a wire in US dollars (USD)

• Send USD to an Invest account
  Since all our Invest accounts are in Canadian Dollars, we'll automatically convert your USD to CAD as soon as the funds enter your Wealthsimple account. Our portfolios include both USD and CAD ETFs, so some of your funds will be converted back to USD to purchase USD ETFs.
  
  
• Send USD to a Trade & Crypto account
  If you subscribe to Plus, we'll automatically send your USD to your USD account. Otherwise, we'll automatically convert your USD to CAD as soon as the funds enter your Wealthsimple account.

Set up a wire in Canadian dollars (CAD)

If you're looking to send funds from a Canadian bank account in CAD, we recommend making a deposit. Making a deposit is generally much faster and cheaper than sending money via wire. However, if you wish to wire CAD to Wealthsimple, please see the instructions below:
