Don’t hesitate, open your FHSA today

Transfer funds faster

No need to worry about scanning and uploading a void cheque to add funds to your Qtrade account. Now you can deposit funds into your Qtrade account faster by connecting your financial institution to your Qtrade account to initiate an Electronic Fund Transfers (EFTs). 

Real-time account opening

No more waiting for access to your trading account. We’ve streamlined to reduce our processing times so you can quickly open a new account and access it within minutes of completing your application. 

Real-time account opening takes advantage of technology that automates key steps in the account-opening process, particularly client ID verification and authentication. Using our real-time identity verification process, you can open a wide variety of individual and joint accounts, including cash, registered retirement savings plans (RRSP) and tax-free savings accounts (TFSA) within minutes (provided the application is complete and in good order and submitted between 8:00 am to 8:30 pm ET).

Please note: To open a margin or option account will take a couple of business days due to additional credit and suitability requirements.

Real-time identity verification

Smile for your selfie to verify your identity. Using advanced photo capture and analysis, this new technology makes it easier to verify your identity when you open an account through your mobile device.
