Why can't I connect my Wealthsimple account to my bank account?

First, you can connect your Wealthsimple account to either a chequing or savings account. So that should not matter.

Second, here is a step-by-step breakdown of how to connect the two accounts:

• Visit the Wealthsimple website and sign into your "Invest & Save" profile.
• Choose your name in the top right-hand corner of your screen.
• Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
• Comb through the "Banks & Apps" tab.
• Pick the "Add a bank account" option under "Bank accounts."
• Look for your bank and then insert the necessary information (institution number, transit number, and account number).

Also, please note, this could take up to three business days.
