    Be vary carefull when considering Wealthsimple for investments, I purchased ****** stocks I made 14 dollars profit and I had to take sell as I had some financial issues at home.
    When I sold them I was taxed $98.00 dollars this wiped out any capital gains I received and ate into my original investing money.
    ** *** ** * **** **** ** *******, I wont be using their platform for anything financial after seeing how they operate.

    This company is extremely disappointing. They lure customers in with special offers that sound appealing, only to later revoke them. Their customer service is unhelpful, and their security practices are unreliable. If you want the risk of having your account locked without access to your money, this is unfortunately the company that provides that experience.

    I have been using Wealthsimple for over a year now and they seemed amazing. I transferred all of my RRSP and TFSA investments to Wealthsimple during a bonus offer to give me cash bonuses of 2% for the value of my RRSP and 1% for the value of my TFSA. I received two monthly payments and the payments stopped because they said that I was not allowed to use my cash account money for external investments for 2 years and had to maintain almost all of my cash balance in Wealthsimple. I had called them before using my money and they confirmed I could use my cash for other purposes, but now they tell me that I broke the rules in their fine print and therefore lost my bonuses. I thought they were different but they are the same as other banks ??

    On June 26 2025, I deposited a check into my WealthSimple account. The check was rejected siliently. I called WealthSimple on July 15 and asked for the reason why the check was rejected. The reason was the check was issued by the Government of Canada and they cannot accept checks from the government. Well, they had better letting me know before hand.

    They were great for quite a while at first.

    I regret transferring my funds to trade with this company. The customer service is very poor. I requested to have a transfer. No transfer. No one reached out to me for 6 weeks. My emails and phone calls did not bring any resolution. No one bothered to answer my emails. Complaints department never responded to my request to file complaint. I now record all conversations and copy my attempts to communicate with this company through email. I am looking to transfer everything out. Never I would recommend ****** ** **** **** **** ********

    Wealthsimple froze my account for no reason and would not let me withdraw my money back to my bank. I called and emailed them every day. They ignored me. I had to threaten them with a lawsuit and complaint to CIRO before they would EFT my money back to my bank. **** ****** **** ********** ***** ************ ***** *** ****** ***** ** ****** ******* ** ********** *** *** ** **** ***** **** **** **** ****** *** *** *** *** ** *****
