TRANSFER FEES BANNED!
Canadians paid $73M+ in exit fees just to move their accounts to Wealthsimple this year...
Ottawa is taking action. Provinces need to be next!
@FP_Champagne is cooking 🍾🍾🍾
Oh it's gonna be good...
Here comes the good part. It’s almost time for Wealthsimple Presents — where all that good we’ve been vaguely hinting at is going to happen.
Tune into our livestream at 12pm ET and make sure you’re watching when it does. There’s still time to register — and maybe win some money: wealthsimple.com/en-ca/prese…
Six years ago I joined @Wealthsimple . It has been incredible to be part of the journey from $9B in to over $169B in AUM and 4 million+ clients. I originally joined for two reasons.
- As a client I fell in love with our mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom: my parents started with very little and taught me the value of money (and working hard) early on.
- I met some incredibly smart and talented people I knew I could learn from.
Both of those two things are still true today.
Here are the Top 6 things I have learned in the past six years at Wealthsimple.
1. Money is personal, and not always logical. Our investment in our brand and building trust has been one of the secrets to our success. Clients need to trust you if they are going to move their money to you. Our unaided awareness has grown 3x over the last 2 years and our latest brand survey has Canadians trusting us as much as the big banks.
2. To accomplish #1, you need to do the work in-house. We don't have an agency of record. Yes it is hard to find great creative and design talent to work "client-side," but when you do - the work speaks from the heart.
3. Our growth campaigns have been successful because of strong offers and an incredible product experience. But what you don't see is the incredible discipline our growth team takes in optimizing for the effectiveness of every dollar spent. That includes making the promotional experience itself exceptional.
4. Embracing new technology and new financial products is one of the best ways to ensure it can be used responsibly by our clients. I am excited about the opportunity that AI represents to help clients manage their money faster, better and securely.
5. I continually hear that money movement, and making it better, is one of the most delightful things about using Wealthsimple. You can now move your money any way you want in our app (aka “pocket branch”): sending and receiving wires, ordering a bank draft, international transfers, sending a cheque and more. And if you want to deposit cash, you can do it at one of 5,600+ Canada Post locations across Canada.
6. Our clients are extremely happy with our platform and the value we provide, but they also are rooting for us to change the financial industry forever. We are not just riding the momentum we have created, we are building a movement.
Bonus: Wealthsimple Presents is our event franchise where we showcase our new products and innovation. Over 660,000 have registered to watch it this Thursday Nov 5th at 12PM EST. Hope to see you there. (Link to register is in the first comments).
Come join the movement and thank you for your support!

I have always been a big advocate for more transparency on banking and investing fees. In an age where technology is making things easier, faster and cheaper at breakneck speeds, we are not seeing enough progress on this in the Canadian financial industry.
"Across nine customer fee categories, the watchdog estimated that financial institutions made $2.45-billion in total revenue in 2025."

I was born and raised in Toronto and have lived here for the majority of my life (except for a brief stint earning my Masters in Skiing at UBC).
I love this city and believe it is one of the best places in the world to live, learn and build amazing businesses.
Thank you @SeeTorontoNow for spending a day with me at some of my favourite spots that inspire the creativity I need to keep innovating.

More new things you can do with Wealthsimple. In a video! This one is for anyone who has kids or knows anyone with kids, is curious what other people are investing in, or needs to buy things for their business.
- Kids and teens accounts with their own card
- Portfolio Pulse so you can browse anonymous portfolios
- Business margin at rates as low as 3.95%
- A refreshed chequing account experience on desktop
I think the main point is it is sitting in cash. It should be invested. “Tax Free Investment Account” Canadian, US, international markets are all acceptable :)
When I heard that $350B is sitting in cash in TFSAs I was astounded. Imagine if that was invested in Canada. Imagine the increase in wealth for those clients. Imagine the businesses that could be built. Imagine the jobs that could be created. It's one of the greatest opportunities we should take advantage of. newsroom.wealthsimple.com/th…

“Ain’t that funny”
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”
