Does Wealthsimple charge a subscription fee?

Wealthsimple's core accounts (Cash, Invest, Tax) are free to use with no monthly subscription. Wealthsimple Premium and Generation tiers do carry fees, but the basic service does not. This guide covers full account closure.

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

You must sell all investments or transfer them out before account closure. If you have a TFSA, RRSP, or FHSA, closing the account may have tax implications — consider consulting a financial advisor before proceeding.

Can I reopen a Wealthsimple account after closing it?

Yes, you can create a new Wealthsimple account in the future. However, your previous account history, contribution room tracking, and transaction records will not be transferred to the new account.

Log in to Wealthsimple

Visit wealthsimple.com and log in to your account, or open the Wealthsimple app on your smartphone.

Transfer or withdraw your funds

Before closing, transfer any invested funds or cash balances to an external bank account. For investment accounts, you may need to sell assets first or request an in-kind transfer (which takes longer).

Go to Profile and Settings

Click your name or profile icon and navigate to 'Settings'.

Close your account

Look for the 'Close account' option under Settings. Wealthsimple will confirm whether your accounts have zero balances and no pending transfers before proceeding.

Confirm account closure

Follow the on-screen steps to confirm your identity and finalise the account closure. You will receive a confirmation email once all accounts are closed.
