Data in the chart was last updated on August 19, 2026. The chart compares Wealthsimple’s savings account features, specifically the Wealthsimple Rate, to high-interest savings accounts from Canadian financial institutions as listed under Schedule I of the Bank Act. For easier comparison, we have separated those institutions into ‘Big Banks’ and ‘Digital Banks’. We define ‘Big Banks’ as being those big national banks that have branches that are easily accessible. We have defined ‘Digital Banks’ as online only institutions that do not have in-person branches for a customer to walk into.
