1DWAC is an electronic book-based deposit from the transfer agent.
2For select securities a Direct Registration Statement (DRS) will be issued. Clients who receive a DRS and who want to obtain a certificate will be responsible for arranging the transaction with the transfer agent.
3Rush certificates are processed on a priority basis.
Questrade accepts OTC BB (over-the-counter bulletin board) and pink sheet stock physical certificates only if they are transferred via DWAC and are specifically pre-approved. Contact a client services specialist to find out how to obtain pre-approval.

1. As of October 1st, 2012, an inactivity fee of $19.95 per quarter is charged to clients with under $5,000 in combined equity for any quarter in which the client does not complete one commissionable trade. Commissionable trades include free trades or trades made using commission rebates. Combined equity includes all accounts owned by a client, including joint accounts. Clients are exempt if they are 25 years of age or under, or are subscribed to a level 1 (or greater) data package. Charitable organizations are also exempt. The $19.95 inactivity fee is rebated back as commission rebates if the client trades the following quarter.
2. The processing fee is applied against any amount to be rebated and will never exceed the rebated amount. Your account will therefore never be charged a fee for participating in the Mutual Fund Maximizer service. The processing fee is calculated monthly and applied quarterly with a minimum of three months. For more information, please click here.
3. All private placement requests are subject to approval. The fee is charged upon Questrade’s receipt of the request. If a request is rejected, the fee is non-refundable.
4. A service fee of USD $75.00 is charged for withdrawing gold. A shipping and insurance fee of USD $30.00 + $4.00 per $1,000 of gold value will apply.
Note: QST and HST/GST are added where applicable. All administrative account fees are in the currency of the transaction in which they relate.
