What is Wealthsimple Cash?

Benefits of Wealthsimple Cash
The benefits of the account currently include:
- High-interest rate: At 0.50 percent (non-promotional), it offers one of the finest savings rates in Canada, beating many of the top rates offered by the big banks.
- There are no monthly fees for your account: When compared to a comparable chequing account with a typical bank, account maintenance costs can add up to a couple of hundred dollars per year. There is no minimum deposit amount with Wealthsimple Cash.
