What happens to my investments when I close my Questrade account?

You can either sell all your holdings and withdraw the cash, or initiate an account transfer to another Canadian broker (e.g., via an RRSP or TFSA transfer form). Questrade supports outgoing transfers, though a transfer fee may apply.

Are there fees for closing a Questrade account?

Questrade charges a $150 account transfer fee per account if you transfer holdings to another broker. There's no fee if you sell all holdings and withdraw cash. ETF purchases are always free at Questrade, so selling ETFs does incur a standard commission.

How long does it take to close a Questrade account?

Questrade account closures are processed within 5–10 business days after you contact support and your account balance is zero. Account transfers to other brokers can take 10–15 business days.

Savjeti za zadrzavanje

Before closing your Questrade account, consider that Questrade offers free ETF purchases — one of Canada's most cost-effective ways to invest. If you have a TFSA or RRSP, closing means losing that registered room permanently (you can't re-open it). Instead of closing, you can simply stop trading and leave the account dormant at no cost. Would you like to keep your account open to preserve your registered account room?
