Administrative fees

Questrade converts currencies and may apply a conversion rate. Any revenue earned is based on the bid and ask spread of the current spot rate market. QST and HST/GST are added where applicable. All administrative fees are in the currency of the transaction in which they relate. Questrade neither endorses nor is responsible for the content on other company sites.

Questrade no longer accepts OTC BB (over-the-counter bulletin board) and pink sheet stock physical certificates, even if they can be transferred via DWAC

¹ As of October 1, 2020, we are no longer charging an inactivity fee on accounts.

² In order to send an EFT a void cheque from a bank account is required. While there is a $50,000 daily withdrawal limit, EFT withdrawal requests over $50,000 are still processed for free, but are deposited over consecutive business days up to the daily limit.

³ A courier fee of CAD $35.00 within Canada or $70.00 to the U.S. applies if the cheque is not picked up in person. Certified cheques cannot be sent by regular mail.

⁴ Additional fees may apply for transfers to international financial institutions.

⁵ DWAC is an electronic book-based deposit from the transfer agent.

⁶ For 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.

⁷ Rush certificates are processed on a priority basis.

⁸ Trade confirmations are available anytime while you're logged into your account. All your accounts are automatically registered for the service and you can create your own report filters based on account, date, and even by security symbol.
