Frequently asked questions
- Can I change or edit an auto-deposit?
If you’d like to change or edit an auto-deposit, you will need to cancel your existing auto-deposit and set up a new one. - I set up an auto-deposit for less than $1,500 to my trading account. Can I trade my funds instantly?
Auto-deposits take 3-5 business days to settle before you can start trading funds, regardless of the amount. If a market opportunity arises and you’d like to access funds to trade straight away, consider making an instant deposit. - If I set up an auto-deposit for a TFSA, RRSP or other registered account, will you tell me if I am getting close to my contribution limit?
No. Please double check your contribution limits before setting up an auto-deposit to a registered account.
