For several years now, Wealthsimple has been competing with major Canadian financial institutions with a diverse range of low-cost financial products and services. With over 3 million users and more than $70 billion in assets under administration, Wealthsimple is constantly innovating! It recently launched joint and multiple accounts, and two weeks ago announced that its Chequing accounts are now protected up to a maximum of $1 million.
Just a few days ago, Wealthsimple launched a Milestone Rewards program featuring new benefits for Wealthsimple Premium and Generation accounts. In this article, we explore these new lifestyle benefits, including travel, wellness, and culture.
Here are the requirements of Wealthsimple’s three different levels: Core, Premium, and Generation.
To move up to a higher level, you must meet the minimum threshold for net deposits or total assets across all your Wealthsimple accounts. This includes managed investment accounts, self-directed investmentaccounts, cryptocurrencies, and checking accounts.

For several years now, Wealthsimple customers with assets of $100,000 or more have had access to Premium services. These include reduced management fees, higher interest rates, financial planning services and more.
That being said, Wealthsimple is constantly innovating! A few months ago, it launched joint accounts and multiple accounts. Then, a few weeks ago, it announced that deposits in its checking accounts were now protected up to one million dollars. Which represents 10 times the coverage of the CDIC. That’s no small feat!
Today, Wealthsimple continues its momentum. Wealthsimple has just announced a Milestone Rewards program with new benefits for Premium and Generation accounts that reach $200,000 or more in assets. Each year, Premium and Generation clients can now choose from a range of exclusive lifestyle rewards, including travel, wellness, and culture.
Here is the list of new benefits for Wealthsimple Premium and Generation accounts.
The more assets you have, the more rewards you earn.
In summary, Wealthsimple has been competing with major Canadian financial institutions for several years now. It continues to innovate, as seen recently with checking accounts which are now protected up to one million dollars, representing 10 times the CDIC coverage. Then, just a few days ago, Wealthsimple launched a new lifestyle rewards program, introducing additional benefits for Premium and Generation accounts.
Wealthsimple offers three account tiers for its clients: Core, Premium (minimum of $100,000), and Generation (minimum of $500,000). Each Wealthsimple account level comes with its own perks, such as lower management fees and higher interest rates on savings.
The rewards program offers new benefits for Premium and Generation accounts. These exclusive rewards are lifestyle-focused, including travel (DragonPass, Uber One, and Gigs), wellness (Strava Premium, Headspace, Maple, and Willful), and culture (The Globe and Mail and DINR). The more assets you have, the more rewards you earn.
Once you reach $200,000 in assets, you can claim your reward directly in the Wealthsimple app. Then, you get another reward for every additional $100,000 in assets (up to $400,000). These rewards are in addition to the existing Premium and Generation privileges.
If you withdraw money from your account and your total Wealthsimple account balance falls below $100,000, you will lose your Premium status and the associated benefits.
