Wealthsimple offers an annual 0.75% interest rate for Save accounts. We don’t believe in promotional rates and will always give you the best rate we can.

How and when is interest paid?

Interest is paid on the 5th business day of each month. It is calculated daily and paid monthly. For example, let’s say you deposit $1,000 into a Save account and leave it there for 365 days. You’ll receive around $7.50 for the year (0.75%*1000). Since interest is calculated daily and paid out monthly, you’ll receive around $0.63 each month. Each month you will receive slightly more interest, thanks to the monthly compounding.

Will my interest rate change?

It’s possible. Your interest rates are subject to change at any time. We won’t change the interest rate unless our bank partners change the rate we receive, which is usually impacted by updates to the benchmark rate set by the Bank of Canada.
