Wealthsimple

We were founded in 2014, offering wealth management, financial advisory, and investment services. Our products include low-fee managed investing with customizable portfolios, commission-free trading for over 14,000 stocks, ETFs, and options, and trading for over 140 cryptocurrencies.

We also provide high-interest chequing and savings accounts with no everyday fees, a minimum 1.25% interest on chequing accounts, and coverage for worldwide ATM fees. Dedicated financial planning and advice services are available, with specialized offerings for families managing over $500,000 in assets.

We support tax filing and offer a Wealthsimple for Business product line for distribution partners, advisors, and sponsors across Canada. We serve over 3 million Canadians and administer more than $100 billion in assets. Our chequing accounts are eligible for CDIC coverage and investments for CIPF coverage, each up to $1 million.

Our mission is to help everyone achieve financial freedom by bringing smarter, simple, and affordable financial services to all, regardless of age or net worth. We aim to simplify the financial industry by removing jargon, hidden fees, and complex client experiences.

We believe that access to financial freedom is a human right.

We have over 1,500 employees across North America. We are a remote-first organization, giving employees the choice to work fully remotely, from our downtown Toronto office, or a hybrid of both. Our “90 Days Away” program allows employees to work internationally for up to 90 days each year.

Our culture emphasizes shipping products quickly, continuous improvement, and empowering employees as “makers and owners.” We achieve this through rigorous prioritization, minimal bureaucracy, and interruption-free days for focused work. We value collaboration, innovation, quality, learning, and open communication.

We offer a range of benefits, including a retirement savings matching plan through Wealthsimple for Business and company equity for full-time employees. Financial perks also include access to Premium client benefits, such as personal finance learning and a 1.75% interest rate on chequing accounts, competitive salaries, and paid parental leave with top-up compensation.

For flexibility, employees receive 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year, in addition to our “90 Days Away” program.

Our health benefits feature top-tier health coverage, life and disability insurance, and an employee resource plan covering services like RMT, psychology, and physiotherapy. We provide up to $5,000 annually for mental health support and Gender Affirmation benefits. We also offer up to $1,500 per year for professional development and another $1,500 for wellness and home office expenses. Employees can join various Employee Resource Groups like Rainbow, Women of Wealthsimple, and Black @ WS, and participate in social impact hours. Our remote-first setup provides necessary equipment like MacBooks and a wellness credit for home office essentials from day one.
