How do I qualify for this offer?
To qualify, you must:
- Be a new or existing client of Questrade, Inc. (‘Questrade’) or Questrade Wealth Management Inc. (‘QWM’)
- Be a legal resident of and tax payer in Canada
- Be the age of majority in the province or territory you live in
- Transfer in a total of at least $10,000 CAD in qualifying assets.
- Register for the offer and submit your transfer request digitally through the Questrade Customer Portal. Manual forms uploaded to the portal or sent to another institution directly will not qualify. (See "How do I register for this offer and submit my transfer request?" for details).
For more information on eligibility for this offer, please see our Terms and Conditions.
What is the offer?
From January 5, 2026 to February 2, 2026, you can earn up to a 4% cashback bonus on net-new transfers from other institutions. For your transfer to be eligible, you have to move at least $10,000 in qualifying assets across eligible accounts from another institution to your Questrade account. Remember: this has to be a transfer, cash deposits do not count for this offer. The offer has two tiers:
1. Base cashback: Earn 1% cashback on transfers to Registered accounts (like RRSPs or TFSAs) and 2% cashback on transfers to Non-Registered accounts (Cash or Margin).
2. Cashback multiplier: You can double your cashback to 2% (Registered) and 4% (Non-Registered) if you hold a specific combination of accounts by the settlement deadline. (See "What is the cashback Multiplier?" below for details).
Your cashback will be paid out in 24 monthly installments starting in June 2026. Your cashback bonus will be deposited into a Cash account (either a Self-directed account or a Questwealth Portfolios account (‘QWP’)) or a Margin account. This is because these account types don’t have contribution limits. So, by depositing your bonus into them, it ensures your contribution room in a registered account isn’t impacted.
If you don’t have a Cash or Margin account, you can open one for free at any time. Your cashback bonus isn’t locked into this account, either. If you want to, you can move it to another Questrade account any time. Hold period rules still apply; see "How long do I have to keep my transfers in my account at Questrade?" for more details.
What is the duration of the offer period?
The offer period is between January 5, 2026 to February 2, 2026. Only transfer requests submitted digitally through the Questrade Customer Portal during this period will qualify. (See "How do I register for this offer and submit my transfer request?" for details).
Is there a minimum funding amount to qualify for the cashback?
Yes. You’ll need to transfer in a total of at least $10,000 CAD. These transfers can be made to one account or split across multiple accounts—it’s up to you. Just make sure you’re transferring to an eligible account type.
• Example: You transfer $4,000 to your TFSA, $4,000 to your RRSP, and $3,000 to your Margin account. Since the total is $11,000, you meet the $10,000 minimum requirement.
Remember: Cash deposits (like Bill Payments or Interac e-Transfers) do not count toward the cashback calculation, though they do help with your total equity for the Multiplier eligibility (see "What is the cashback Multiplier?" below for details).
All of the most commonly owned asset types qualify for this offer, including:
- Cash
- Stocks (regular and preferred shares)
- Bonds
- GICs
- ETFs
- Mutual funds
A few asset types aren’t eligible, though. Restricted assets (ones that are set aside to meet regulatory or contractual requirements), assets subject to a cease trade order, or assets lacking evidence of current value. See the terms and conditions for more details. Click here for terms and conditions in French.
What is the Cashback Multiplier?
The Multiplier is a way to double your cashback rate. To qualify, you must hold the following on May 29, 2026 (the “Settlement Deadline”):
At least 3 different account types at Questrade
At least 1 Margin or Cash account
Each account must have at least $10,000 CAD in equity
If you meet the Multiplier requirements, your cashback rates will double:
• For Registered Accounts transfers: 2% (up from 1%)
• For Non-Registered Account transfers: 4% (up from 2%)
• Example: You are an existing Questrade customer with $7,000 in equity in each of your TFSA, RRSP, and Margin accounts (total equity of $21,000). During the promotion period, you register and transfer $4,000 to your TFSA, $4,000 to your RRSP, and $3,000 to your Margin account ($11,000 in total, which qualifies based on the $10,000 minimum transfer amount). If each of these accounts have an equity of greater than $10,000 by May 29, 2026, you will qualify for the higher cashback multiplier (2% on your $4,000 TFSA and $4,000 RRSP transfer, and 4% on your $3,000 Margin transfer). Other hold period rules apply.
How much cashback can I earn?
Your cashback is calculated based on your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount (total transfers-in minus any withdrawals). There are separate caps for Registered and Non-Registered accounts:
• Registered accounts: Maximum cashback is $10,000.
• Non-Registered accounts: Maximum cashback is $10,000.
• Total potential cashback: You can earn up to $20,000 combined.
• Example: You transfer $160,000 into a Margin account (Non-Registered) and $240,000 into a TFSA (Registered).
- Base scenario: You earn 2% on the Margin ($3,200) and 1% on the TFSA ($2,400).
- Multiplier scenario: If you meet the Multiplier criteria (see above), you could earn 4% on the Margin ($6,400) and 2% on the TFSA ($4,800).
How do I register for this offer and submit my transfer request?
To qualify for this offer, you must first register your account(s) for the offer during the offer period January 5, 2026 to February 2, 2026). New customers and existing customers creating a new account can register by entering the promo code QT4CASHBACK in the offer code section during account creation.
Existing customers who are looking to consolidate with existing accounts at Questrade can register by visiting their Rewards and Benefits center in the Customer Portal. From there, you can register your account for the 4% cashback offer. Once you register one of your accounts for this promotion, all other accounts in your profile will be registered automatically.
Once your account has been registered, you’ll receive an email confirming your registration and detailing your next steps to submit a transfer-in. For more details on submitting a transfer request from our customer portal, visit this walkthrough. You’ll also need to submit your transfer request before the end of the offer period (February 2, 2026). Remember: transfer requests must be submitted digitally through our Customer Portal to be eligible for this promotion.
What accounts can I transfer into?
Most of our popular accounts are eligible and you can qualify whether you have a self-directed account or you invest in Questwealth Portfolios:
• Margin accounts (Individual or Joint)
• Cash accounts (Individual or Joint)
• RRSPs and RRIFs (Individual or Spousal)
• TFSAs and FHSAs
• RESPs (Individual or Family)
• Corporate, Partnership, and Formal Trust accounts
Note: Forex (FX) and CFD accounts are not eligible.
How are Joint Accounts and Corporate Accounts handled?
For this offer, we group accounts into three categories: Regular (Individual accounts like a TFSA), Joint (like a Margin account you hold with your spouse), and Entity (Corporate/Trust). Note that Spousal RRSPs or RRIFs are not considered joint accounts, so if you hold one, it will be treated as an Individual account. However, when it comes to determining your cashback, these categories are calculated separately.
• For example: If you transfer $5,000 to an Individual RRSP and $5,000 to a Joint Margin account, you would not qualify, because neither category hit the $10,000 minimum on its own.
• However: If you transferred $10,000 to the Independent RRSP and $10,000 to the Joint Margin, both would qualify independently.
What are Qualifying Transfers and where can my transfers come from?
Qualifying Transfers must be assets (stocks, ETFs, cash) moved from another financial institution to Questrade, including:
• Cash
• Stocks (regular and preferred shares)
• Bonds
• GICs
• ETFs
• Mutual funds
However, there are some assets and transfers that do not qualify:
• Excluded: Transfers between existing Questrade accounts do not qualify (your assets must come from another institution, not Questrade, Questrade Wealth Management, or any of their affiliates in Questrade Financial group.)
• Excluded: Direct deposits (like payroll or bill payments) do not qualify.
• Excluded: Assets that are restricted (ones that are set aside to meet regulatory or contractual requirements), subject to a cease trade order, or lacking evidence of current value. See the terms and conditions for more details.
How long do I have to transfer my funds?
You must submit your request via the Questrade Customer Portal between January 5, 2026 and February 2, 2026. (See "How do I register for this offer and submit my transfer request?" for details). Your funds must fully arrive and settle in your account by May 29, 2026.
As soon as you submit your request, we’ll get to work. The time it takes for your funds to arrive from your old institution varies, and sometimes they may be slower to process things on their end. Rest assured: we’ll be doing everything we can to make transfer fast for you; however, you can also follow up with your old financial institution to try to expedite the process.
• Tip: Processing times vary by institution. We recommend submitting your request as early as possible to ensure funds arrive by the May 29, 2026 deadline.
Do multiple transfers count towards my net funding total?
Yes. We look at the total Net Qualifying Transfer Amount (total transfers in minus any withdrawals) across your eligible accounts as of May 29, 2026.
• Example: If you submit three separate transfers of $5,000 each during the offer period and made no other withdrawals or transfer-outs, your total Net Qualifying Transfer Amount is $15,000 and you would be eligible for cashback.
Do I have to pay transfer fees for external transfers from another institution?
Whether you’re new to Questrade or already a customer, you can transfer almost any type of investment account over to Questrade—for any amount and as many accounts as you like. The best part? We’ll cover your transfer-in fees charged by your old brokerage, up to $150 per account. This applies regardless of whether you qualify for this cashback offer. See our Transfer For Free terms and conditions for more information.
How will I receive my cashback?
You will receive your cashback in 24 equal monthly installments, paid into an eligible Questrade Cash or Margin account or Questwealth Portfolio cash account. All of your accounts need to be in good standing, meaning they can’t be frozen or restricted in any way or have a negative equity balance.
Depositing your cashback into a non-registered Cash or Margin room ensures we won’t impact your contribution room in a registered account. We’ll look for a Self-Directed Cash account first, then a Margin account, and then a Questwealth Portfolio cash account.
If you don’t have a Cash or Margin account, you can open one for free at any time. Your cashback bonus isn’t locked into this account, either. If you want to, you can move it to another Questrade account any time (hold period still applies).
When will I receive the first cashback payment?
The first payment is scheduled for June 2, 2026 (or shortly after), provided your transfers are settled by the May 29 deadline. Payments will continue monthly for 24 months.
Where will I be able to find my first cashback payment?
Once you start to receive your cashback payments, they’ll show up as a deposit called “cashback Incentive” in both your monthly statement and account activity report. Remember: the cashback payment will be made to your Cash account (self-directed or Questwealth Portfolio) or your self-directed Margin account (see "How will I receive my cashback?" for details).To view your account activity report:
1. Log in to your Questrade account
2. Click REPORTS
3. Tap Account activity
4. Select your date range to view your transactions. All transactions, including cashback payments, will appear in the table.
Here are more details on how to access your account activity report.
What if I don't have a Cash or Margin account to receive my cashback payment in?
If you don’t have a Cash or Margin account yet, you will have to open one to receive your cashback payment. Opening either type of account is free and only takes a few minutes to set up.
Our self-directed accounts also have no funding minimums, so if you open a self-directed Cash or Margin account, you’ll be all good to go right away. Questwealth Portfolios do require a $250 minimum balance, so if you choose to open a Questwealth Portfolios Cash account, you’ll have to deposit at least $250 into it.
Remember: you need to have a Cash or Margin account open by June 1, 2026 to receive your cashback payment.
Which account will the cashback be paid to if I have both a Cash account and a Margin account?
Where a cashback payment is sent is decided by a basic priority system:
1. Self-directed Cash account
2. Margin account (self-directed only)
3. Questwealth Portfolios Cash account
For example, if you have all three of these account types, you can expect to see the deposit in your self-directed Cash account. If you have a Margin account and a Questwealth Portfolios Cash account instead, the deposit would go into the Margin account. If you only have a Questwealth Portfolios Cash account, the cashback will be deposited there.
How long do I have to keep my transfers in my account at Questrade?
Your transfer ins will be subject to a Hold Period of 24 months, starting immediately after the settlement period (May 30, 2026) and ending after your final payment (June 2028). You’re allowed to make withdrawals at any time from the account you transferred—it’s your money—but, depending on how much you withdraw, it may exceed the withdrawal limit and disqualify you from receiving future monthly payments. For more details on the withdrawal limit, see "How much money can I withdraw without impacting my cashback?". We won't claw back any monthly cashback payments already made.
After the Hold Period ends in June 2028, you’re free to move as much or as little money out of your account as you’d like with no possibility of impacting your cashback.
How much money can I withdraw without impacting my cashback?
While it’s possible to withdraw from your account without impacting the cashback you earn, this depends on your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount. You can withdraw up to 5% of your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount during the Hold Period (May 30, 2026 to June 2028) without impacting your cashback. For clarity: withdrawals include taking your money out of Questrade via wire transfer, cheque, or a transfer-out; moving money from one of your Questrade accounts to another does not count as a withdrawal.
Exceptions: Mandatory statutory minimum withdrawals from RRIF, LIF, and LRIF accounts are exempt. These government-mandated amounts do not count toward your 5% withdrawal limit and will not disqualify you from this offer.
If you withdraw more than 5% of your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount, and do not replenish the funds within the same calendar month, you will be disqualified from this offer and forfeit all future monthly payments. We won't claw back any monthly cashback payments already made.
I’ve withdrawn money. Can I get my full cashback amount again?
If you’ve withdrawn more than 5% of your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount during the hold period (See "How much money can I withdraw without impacting my cashback?" for details), you must deposit fresh funds to bring your net withdrawals back under 5% before the last business day of that same month. If you fail to deposit enough funds by the deadline, you will be disqualified from all future payments.
How much can I withdraw if my account grows in value?
The amount you can withdraw without penalty is always calculated based on your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount. This is the case no matter how your account’s value changes. That means that if you withdraw more than 5% of your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount, you will start receiving a reduced cashback payment in the next month if you do not top up.
• Example: let’s say you transfer $25,000 to your Questrade account during the offer period and make no withdrawals (meaning your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount is $25,000). Over the next few months, your account balance grows to $30,000. If you withdraw $5,000, this would equal 20% of your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount ($5,000 / $25,000 x 100%), which will disqualify you from future cashback.
• To requalify: (See"How much money can I withdraw without impacting my cashback?" for details), you would need to deposit more than $3,750 before the last business day of the same month to bring your net withdrawals to less than 5% of your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount ($25,000 x 5% = $1,250).
Will market fluctuations impact my cashback?
No, market conditions won’t impact the calculation of your cashback. The Net Qualifying Transfer Amount is calculated based on the market value of the assets when they settle (i.e.: arrive) in your Questrade account.
What are the tax implications of this offer?
Your cashback is paid out to a non-registered account (Self-directed or QWP Cash or Margin account), which don’t have contribution limits, reducing the risk of tax implications. This also helps ensure the cashback payment doesn’t impact the contribution room in any registered accounts you have like an RRSP.
However, as with any offer, there may be personal tax implications for you to consider. If you have any questions, we recommend contacting a tax professional for additional guidance.
Can I be eligible for multiple offers at once?
Yes! You’re also able to use our Transfer for Free offer and our Questwealth Portfolios $0 Management fee offer along with this cashback promotion. If you are being referred to Questrade by a friend, you can also use their Refer a Friend promo code to earn $50 when you complete and fund your first account with at least $250 (see terms and conditions).
How will USD assets be treated?
The CAD equivalent of the USD assets will be calculated using the foreign exchange rate on the day the transfer settles in your Questrade account. The CAD equivalent will be included in your Net Qualifying Transfer amount, and your cashback will be paid in Canadian Dollars.
For example: You submit your transfer-in of an account containing $5,000 USD worth of investments on January 20, 2026. On that day, the foreign exchange conversion rate valued your investments at $7,000 CAD.
However, on the day that your transfer arrives in your Questrade account, the foreign exchange rate fluctuates and the same investments are now worth $7,100 CAD. We would calculate your Net Qualifying Transfer Amount and cashback payment using the $7,100 amount.
What happens if I decide to close my account?
If you’ve met the offer requirements, you won’t have to return any cashback that was already paid to you. If you close your account, you will give up your remaining cashback payments.
At Questrade, we’re always looking for ways to show our clients how much we value them. If you have questions about your account, please reach out to one of our account specialists.
I already qualified for the 3% bonus last year. Can I still qualify for this year’s 4%?
Yes! You are eligible to qualify for the 4% Cashback even if you participated in last year’s 3% promotion. The new cash back promotion applies to all the new assets that you bring in. Anything you already have in your existing account(s) will not receive a cash back but it will help to qualify you for the multiplier.
Terms and conditions
Questrade is offering new and existing clients a cash back bonus of up to 4% on qualifying assets transferred-in between January 5, 2026 and February 2, 2026 from another financial institution into Questrade. Additional terms and eligibility requirements apply; see below.

- Be a legal resident of Canada and maintain both a Canadian residential address and Canadian tax residency throughout the Offer Term. For greater clarity if, at any time prior to the final scheduled payout, the Client’s residency or tax jurisdiction is updated to a location outside of Canada, the Client will be immediately and permanently disqualified from the Offer.

For greater clarity, an existing Client can qualify for this Offer using either the Offer Code or the Apply the Offer methods (each a “Sign-Up Method”). It is only necessary to sign up once for this Offer and the sign up must occur during the Qualifying Period. Any sign up outside of the Qualifying Period will be rejected as not having been performed.and,
- Meet a minimum threshold of $10,000 in one or more Qualifying Transfers settled across all Eligible Accounts (the “Minimum Transfer Amount”);

Definitions
- The following definitions apply to this Offer:
- Cashback. The total “Cashback” is calculated based on the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount (defined below) settled in a Client’s Eligible Account(s) as at the Settlement Deadline. Subject to the Multiplier conditions below, the “Base Cashback Rates” are:
- Registered Accounts: 1% of the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount.
- Non-Registered Accounts: 2% of the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount.
- Cashback. The total “Cashback” is calculated based on the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount (defined below) settled in a Client’s Eligible Account(s) as at the Settlement Deadline. Subject to the Multiplier conditions below, the “Base Cashback Rates” are:
The CashbackCash Back formula is as follows:
Cashback = (R * 1%) + (NR * 2%), where R is the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount for registered accounts and NR is the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount for non-registered accounts.
If the Client satisfies the CashbackCash Back Multiplier requirements as of the Settlement Deadline, the rates shall be doubled to 2% for registered accounts and 4% for non-registered accounts, as follows:
Cashback With Multiplier = (R * 2%) + (NR * 4%)
Maximum Limits: The maximum CashbackCash Back per Client is $10,000 for all Registered Accounts and $10,000 for all Non-Registered Accounts, for a combined total maximum of $20,000. These limits will be applied at the outset when determining the total CashbackCash Back amount.
Minimum Threshold: A minimum total transfer-in of $10,000 settled across all Eligible Accounts is required to qualify.
CashbackCash Back Payment: The total CashbackCash Back amount will be divided into 24 installments and paid over 24 months in accordance with the payment schedule set out in section 3g below.
- Cashback Multiplier. A Client may double the Base CashbackCash Back Rates to 2% for registered accounts and 4% for non-registered accounts (the “Multiplier”) if they satisfy the following “Three-Account Requirement” as of the Settlement Deadline:
- Account Diversity: The Client must hold the following accounts at Questrade or QWM: at least threetwo registered accounts, including and at least one non-registered account. All accounts must be complete as of the Settlement Deadline and in good standing throughout the Offer Term.
- Minimum Equity Threshold: Each of the three accounts identified in (i) above must hold a minimum equity balance of at least $10,000 at the time of the Settlement Deadline (the “Minimum Equity Threshold”).
If the Client fails to meet either condition (i) or (ii) above on the Settlement Deadline, the Base Cashback Rates shall apply in all cases. For greater certainty, the Client can hold more than three accounts, however the Minimum Equity Threshold must be met in at least three accounts and in no case will amounts from any of the Client’s accounts be aggregated for the purpose of satisfying this condition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Eligible Accounts can only receive the base CashbackCash Back and in no case will the CashbackCash Back Multiplier be applied to these accounts.
For greater clarity, and notwithstanding any other calculations in this Offer, for the purposes of satisfying the Minimum Equity Threshold, ‘equity’ shall be calculated based on the total market value of all assets and cash balances held within the respective Client accounts as at the Settlement Deadline.
- Cashback Payout Account. Each Cashback payment to an eligible Client shall be made to a Questrade or QWM non-registered account with a complete status and in good standing held in the name of the Client (the “CashbackCash Account”). If at the date of a payout the Client does not have at least one Cashback Payout Account at the date of a payout, the Client will be disqualified from that and all future payouts.
- In the event a Client has several eligible accounts, the following logic applies for selecting the CashbackCash Back Payout Account. The CashbackCash Back will be paid to a non-registered Questrade or QWM account, prioritized as follows per Client:
(1) Self-directed cash account (oldest if multiple);
(2) Self-directed margin account (oldest if multiple);
(3) QWM cash account (oldest if multiple).
Informal Trust accounts are not eligible to qualify as a Cashback Payout Account.
- In the event a Client has several eligible accounts, the following logic applies for selecting the CashbackCash Back Payout Account. The CashbackCash Back will be paid to a non-registered Questrade or QWM account, prioritized as follows per Client:
- Client. For the purposes of this Offer, a “Client” is defined by a unique User ID within each of the following distinct account type groupings:
- Individual: an individual associated with a unique User ID, holding one or more accounts where each account has only one account holder (i.e. individual accounts);
- Joint: An account holder of a joint Restricted Eligible Account; and
- Entity: An entity (such as a corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship or formal trust) holding a Restricted Eligible Account.
Each grouping is qualified and calculated separately. A single User ID may therefore qualify as multiple ‘Clients’ if they hold accounts across different groupings (e.g., an Individual account and a separate Entity account). The $10,000 Minimum Transfer Amount and $20,000 maximum CashbackCash Back apply per Client.
- Deposit. For the purposes of this Offer, each of the following methods to add money or equity to a Questrade or QWM account are considered to be Deposits (this list is not exhaustive):
- Interac e-transfer;
- Visa Debit;
- Online bill payment;
- Pre-authorized deposit;
- Wire transfer;
- Cheque deposit; and
- DRS deposit.
For greater clarity, transfers of value between Questrade or QWM accounts are not considered to be Deposits.
- Eligible Account. To be an Eligible Account, the account must be a new or existing Questrade or QWM account in good standing.
These accounts are all Eligible Accounts: a non-registered individual margin account; a non-registered individual cash account; a non-registered informal trust account; an individual or spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan (‘RRSP’); an individual or spousal Registered Retirement Income Fund (‘RRIF’); a Registered Education Savings Plan (‘RESP’), any registered Locked-in Plan; a Tax Free Savings Account (‘TFSA’); and a First Home Savings Account (‘FHSA’).
These accounts are not Eligible Accounts and are excluded from this Offer: Any Forex or CFD account.
The following accounts are Eligible Accounts but have additional restrictions (each a “Restricted Eligible Account”): (i) any account that Questrade or QWM refers to as an entity account, such as any corporate, partnership, sole proprietorship, or formal trust account; or (ii) any joint account (does not include spousal RRSPs or RRIFs). A Restricted Eligible Account can only be used for this Offer on its own; this means that no Restricted Eligible Account may combine with any other account for the purposes of this Offer.
- Net Qualifying Transfer Amount. The “Net Qualifying Transfer Amount” is calculated as follows:
Net Qualifying Transfer Amount = A - B
Where:
A is the sum total value of each Qualifying Transfer submitted during the Qualifying Period. Assets must settle by the Settlement Deadline. The final value of each Qualifying Transfer is determined on the date (“Settlement Date”) the Qualifying Transfer is received into any of the Client’s Eligible Accounts and may be adjusted to reflect the market value of the assets received. If a Qualifying Transfer is denominated in US currency, the exchange rate for US currency on that Settlement Date will be used to determine the CAD value equivalent for the purposes of the calculation. Any remaining portion of a Transfer-In not fully settled by the Settlement Deadline is assigned a value of zero (0) for this calculation.
B is the sum total value of all of the following transaction types:
i) any withdrawal or transfer-out or other transaction that would have the effect of reducing the balance (each a “Withdrawal”) from any of the Client’s Eligible Accounts during the Qualifying Period and Settlement Period, calculated based on the gross amount as at the date each Withdrawal is processed. For greater clarity, during the Qualifying Period and Settlement Period, any transfer of value between Questrade or QWM accounts that belong to different Clients or any transfer of value to an account that is not an Eligible Account, is considered a Withdrawal for the purposes of the Offer. Any transfer of value between the Client’s own Eligible Accounts is not considered a Withdrawal.
ii) any Deposit made to and settled in any of the Client’s Eligible Accounts during the Qualifying Period and Settlement Period.
iii) any portion of a Transfer-In that is not a Qualifying Transfer made to and settled in any of the Client’s Eligible Accounts during the Qualifying Period and Settlement Period.
If any transaction above is denominated in US currency, the exchange rate on the date the transaction is processed will be used to determine the Canadian dollar value equivalent for the purposes of the calculation.
For greater clarity, any transaction that occurs following the Settlement Deadline, will be evaluated in light of the Hold Period, to determine whether there needs to be a reduction to the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount calculation for Hold Period requirements.
For greater clarity, Exempt Withdrawals (defined below) are Withdrawals for the purpose of this Net Qualifying Transfer Amount calculation.
When the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount calculation is used to determine the Cashback for this Offer, the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount calculation will be performed twice- once only including Qualifying Transfers and Withdrawals from Eligible Accounts that are non-registered (referred to as “NR” in the Cashback calculation) and once only including Qualifying Transfers and Withdrawals from Eligible Accounts that are registered (referred to as “R” in the Cashback calculation).
The Net Qualifying Transfer Amount calculation will also be used as a baseline reference number for tracking the Hold Period calculation 5% threshold.
For both the Cashback calculation and the Hold Period calculation, the calculations will be made, as at the Settlement Deadline.
- Offer. The “Offer” means this ‘Cashback on Qualifying Transfers Offer’.
- Qualifying Transfers. “Qualifying Transfers” are Transfers-In and can refer alternately to the transfer itself as well as the assets being transferred. Deposits are not Qualifying Transfers. Transfers-in may include cash and/or eligible securities. Qualifying Transfers must originate from an institution not part of Questrade Financial Group. Transfers-In from Questrade, QWM, or their affiliates are excluded. Any cash or eligible securities that are part of a Transfer-In submitted outside the Qualifying Period are excluded. During the Qualifying Period, in order to be a Qualifying Transfer, any such Transfer-In requests must be submitted to Questrade or QWM through the Customer Portal using the Transfer In Request online application function. A Transfer-In request submitted in any other way, such as by manually uploading a Transfer-In form to the Customer Portal or by submitting the Transfer-In request to the relinquishing financial institution and not to Questrade or QWM will not qualify for this Offer.
- Transfer-In. For the purposes of this Offer, a Transfer-In refers to the holdings of an investment account at a different financial institution that are transferred into a Questrade or QWM account pursuant to a transfer-in request. For greater clarity, a Transfer-In is not a Deposit.
Important Dates
- The following dates apply to the Offer:
- Offer Term. The “Offer Term” means the collective period beginning on the first day of the Qualifying Period and ending on the final day of the Hold Period.
- Qualifying Period. The “Qualifying Period” begins at 12:01 am ET on January 5, 2026, and ends at 11:59pm ET on February 2, 2026. To be considered a Qualifying Transfer, the transfer must be submitted during this period.
- Settlement Period. The “Settlement Period” means the period that begins when the Qualifying Period commences and ends at the Settlement Deadline.
- Settlement Deadline. The “Settlement Deadline” is 11:59 pm ET on May 29, 2026, and is the final date by which assets from Qualifying Transfers totaling at least the Minimum Transfer Amount must settle into the Eligible Account(s) to qualify for the Offer.
- Hold Period. The “Hold Period” means the period commencing immediately after the Settlement Deadline and ending on the final scheduled Cashback payment on or about May 29, 2028. During this period, a Withdrawal limit of 5% (excluding Exempt Withdrawals) of the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount (as adjusted) applies. The Net Qualifying Transfer Amount is initially determined on the Settlement Deadline.
- Exempt Withdrawals. During the Hold Period only, the following shall be excluded from the 5% Hold Period calculation (collectively, the “Exempt Withdrawals”): (i) mandatory withdrawals from retirement plans; (ii) and withdrawals for the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) or Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) from RRSPs; and (iii) withdrawals from Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) shall be excluded from the 5% Hold Period calculation (the “Exempt Withdrawals”). For greater certainty, any such withdrawals or transfers-out processed during the Qualifying Period or Settlement Period will be treated as regular Withdrawals and will reduce the initial Net Qualifying Transfer Amount accordingly. Any withdrawal from a First Home Savings Account (FHSA) at all times will not be considered an Exempt Withdrawal.
- Hold Period Compliance & Forfeiture. To remain eligible for the Offer, the Client must maintain a Net Monthly Withdrawal that is less than or equal to 5% of the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount throughout the Hold Period.
- Calculation: Following the end of each calendar month (typically during the first week of the next calendar month), a look back calculation of the Net Monthly Withdrawal will be made, to determine compliance. The lookback calculation will be performed as follows:
C - D + E
Where:
C: The absolute value of Withdrawals processed after the Settlement Deadline. - D: The absolute value of Deposits and Transfers-In that settle after the Settlement Deadline.
- E: Any Carryover Balance from the previous calendar month’s Hold Period calculation.
- Disqualification: If the calculation of C - D + E (as defined below) is greater than Z (5% of the Net Qualifying Transfer Amount) as of the end of any calendar month, the Client will be immediately disqualified from the Offer.
- Forfeiture: Upon disqualification, all remaining CashbackCash Back payouts will be forfeited, and no further payments will be made.
- Carryover: Where the calculation of C - D + E is less than Z as of the end of the day on the last day of the month, the calculation C - D + E will be carried over to the following month’s calculation as E (the “Carryover Balance”).
- Currency: Where Withdrawals or Deposits are denominated in US currency, the exchange rate on the date of the withdrawal will be used to determine the Canadian dollar value equivalent for the purpose of the calculation.
- Formula Inclusions and Exclusions: To count toward the calculation of D above, the Deposits and Transfers-In must meet all of the following conditions:
- They must be in Canadian or US currency; in cash or investable assets. Investable assets exclude any securities that are restricted, subject to a cease trade order or other restriction or that are non-listed and without independent evidence of current value acceptable to Questrade or QWM.
- They must be received into the Client’s Eligible Account during the Hold Period.
- They must not originate from a Questrade or QWM account.
- Calculation: Following the end of each calendar month (typically during the first week of the next calendar month), a look back calculation of the Net Monthly Withdrawal will be made, to determine compliance. The lookback calculation will be performed as follows:
- Payment Schedule. The total Cashback shall be divided into 24 equal monthly payments. Payments are made in Canadian currency starting on or about June 2, 2026 and continuing to be paid at the beginning of every subsequent month until the final scheduled CashbackCash Back payment, provided the Client remains in good standing and adheres to the Hold Period requirements.
