An interest rate consistent with that indicated below will be applied to the debit balances of all accounts that have not obtained any authorization to borrow on the value of the investments held therein:

  • All balances in CAD: 21%
  • All balances in USD: 21%

The interest rate paid on a credit balance or charged for a debit balance may change without notice.

The interest paid or billed is calculated on the daily balance of the credit or debit balance in your account, from the 16th day of the previous month to the 15th day of the current month, including that day.

For cash and registered accounts, the interest will only be credited or debited if the amount reaches $5.00. For margin accounts, however, it will be credited or debited starting at $0.01.

The fine print

1. Our Advantage and Private Direct Brokerage services are offered by invitation only.

2. An account root refers to all the accounts held by a client whose first six digits are identical.

3. To be eligible, trades must be made through our electronic solutions.
