All 3Stack Them
All three promotions can apply to the same account. Order matters — see below.
1. Referral Bonus — $25
The fastest bonus to claim. Use code UHGWMQ when signing up, deposit $100 from an external bank, and $25 hits your Wealthsimple chequing account within 24 hours. The referrer also receives $25.
Requirements: New Wealthsimple account only. $100 minimum deposit from an external source within 30 days. Both parties need a Wealthsimple chequing account.
2. Transfer Match — 1% to 3%
Transfer $25,000 or more from another financial institution (bank, brokerage, RRSP, TFSA, etc.) and Wealthsimple pays a cash match on the transferred amount, paid as 24 equal monthly instalments.

730-day hold: Transferred funds (and the matching bonus) are subject to a 730-day hold. Withdrawing early forfeits the remaining monthly payments.
3. Monthly Millionaire
A monthly prize draw where eligible clients can win $1,000,000. Entries are awarded based on transferred assets — the more you transfer, the more entries you receive (up to 100,000 entries per draw). Check the Wealthsimple app for the current draw window and your entry count.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get the referral bonus and the Transfer Match on the same account?
Yes. Sign up with referral code UHGWMQ first, then enroll in the 1% Match promotion separately before initiating your transfer. Both bonuses apply independently.
What counts as a qualifying transfer for the 1% Match?
Transfers from an external financial institution of $25,000 or more — including RRSPs, TFSAs, FHSAs, non-registered accounts, and self-directed brokerage accounts. Cash deposits from your bank don't count for the Match, but do count for the $25 referral bonus.
When is the Monthly Millionaire draw?
Wealthsimple runs the draw monthly. Check the Rewards Centre in your Wealthsimple app for the exact date of the next draw and your current entry count.
Are Wealthsimple bonuses taxable?
Generally yes — Wealthsimple reports bonuses deposited into registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA) as contributions to the CRA, which could affect your contribution room. Bonuses deposited to your chequing account are treated as income. Consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.
I already have a Wealthsimple account — can I get any of these bonuses?
The $25 referral bonus is for new clients only. However, existing clients can still qualify for the 1% Match (if transferring $25,000+ from another institution) and the Monthly Millionaire draw. Check the Rewards Centre in your app for your eligible offers.
