How to fund your account - CAD

To complete your bank account registration, please ensure sufficient funds are available in the account you wish to link. You can verify this by making a small deposit via online bill pay. 

Once you've confirmed the funds are available, kindly provide one of the following documents for verification purposes: 

  • Bank statement 

  • Void check 

  • Direct deposit form 

The document you submit should clearly display your bank account number, transit number, and full name. 

You can fund your account through the following options. Please ensure that any payment you make to fund your account is from an account in your name. Any payments made into a personal trading account must also be from a personal bank account. Likewise, any payments made into a corporate trading account must only come from a corporate bank account. Any payment from third party sources will be returned.
