ABOUT US

We’re on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom.

What we do

Rewrite old rules

We started Wealthsimple because investing in Canada felt like you needed a Ph.D to understand it. We set out to strip away the confusing jargon, hidden fees, and frustrating client experience to build something entirely different.

Keep it simple

In a complex industry, simplicity sets us apart. Whether it's advice, investing, trading stocks or crypto, saving and spending a paycheque, or tax filing, we've helped millions of Canadians wrap their heads around it all.

Empower your financial future

Our mission has never changed: To help everyone achieve financial freedom. And no, that doesn’t mean getting rich overnight. It means feeling free from financial stress and more secure every day, no matter what life throws at you.
