(the “Client”).
Qualifying Action. To participate in the Promotion, eligible Clients must open and fund a Wealthsimple Savings account, with any amount, within thirty (30) days of receiving an Invitation (together a “Qualifying Action”).
There are no fees associated with the creation of a Wealthsimple Account. A Client can open a Wealthsimple Account by visiting https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca and following the instructions on how to create an account. Further details on adding funds to Wealthsimple can be found here.
Interest Bonus. Upon successful completion of a Qualifying Action, eligible Clients shall earn a boosted interest rate on their Wealthsimple Savings account interest rate for a period of thirty five (35) days (the “Interest Bonus”). The Interest Bonus applies only to the first $1,000,000 of the Client's aggregate Savings account balance; any portion of the balance exceeding $1,000,000 will earn only the Client's Standard Interest rate. For greater certainty, the thirty five (35) day period during which the Client shall receive the Interest Bonus will begin on the date that such Client’s first Wealthsimple Savings account is opened. If the Client holds more than one Savings account, the period begins on the date when the earliest of those accounts was opened.
The Interest Bonus shall be calculated as a combination of the standard annualized rate for the Savings account of 2.5% (the “Standard Interest”), plus the promotional rate of 2.5% (the “Promotional Interest”), together totaling a rate of 5%.
All other terms and conditions of the Savings account also apply.
Standard Interest and Promotional Interest are annualized rates, calculated daily and paid monthly.
Maximum one (1) Interest Bonus per Client.
The Interest Bonus is non-transferrable, and cannot be applied retroactively. The Interest Bonus remains subject to change, at Wealthsimple’s sole discretion.
Application of Interest Bonus. The Interest Bonus shall be paid out as two separate payments, consisting of the Standard Interest payment and the Promotional Interest payment.
The Standard Interest payment will be paid within the first seven (7) business days following each calendar month during which the Interest Boost is earned, and shall be paid into the Client’s Savings account in accordance with Wealthsimple’s standard interest payment process for such account.
The Promotional Interest shall be paid within seven (7) business days following the end of the Client’s thirty five (35) day period, and shall be paid into the Client’s Wealthsimple Savings account.
Wealthsimple is not liable for any forfeited Bonus and any forfeiture will not be reissued.
Tax Implications. There are tax implications to bonuses and rewards of this nature in most instances. Please consult with an accountant or tax professional for additional guidance.
