Why not list Wealthsimple Cash? Very good rates, no fees, and 300k CDIC insured.
As a Wealthsimple client, you are entitled to coverage so that your money stays your money. Specifically, the funds in your Cash account are placed in Trust with up to three Schedule 1 Canadian banks. As such, CDIC protection against the failure of these banks extends to Wealthsimple Cash account holders for up to $300,000 CAD.
Note: Applicable coverage varies depending on the type of Wealthsimple account you have. Make sure to check out our article on how we keep your money safe to learn about all the different ways you’re protected.
