You've got questions, we've got answers

You can open a single holder TFSA, RRSP, cash and margin account online using the promo code DI-UGUELPH or book an appointment with a TD representative at the branch. Please note that joint or corporate cash or margin accounts can be opened up only at the branch. If an account is opened at the branch or over the phone, clients must request that a TD representative register the client for the offer using the promo code DI-UGUELPH.  


Clients can transfer cash or investable assets into their new TD Direct Investing account from a TD Canada Trust bank account or other Canadian financial institution. This includes TD Mutual Funds. Investable assets exclude any securities that are restricted, subject to a cease trade order or that are non-listed and without independent evidence of current value acceptable to TD Direct Investing.

Transfers originating from pre-existing TD Direct Investing, TD Easy Trade™, TD Wealth Financial Planning, TD Wealth Advice Connect, TD Wealth Private Investment Advice, TD Wealth Private Trust and TD Wealth Private Investment Counsel accounts are not included in the Qualifying Assets.


A direct investing account helps you manage your investments on your own using a set of online tools and resources while with a managed services account your investments are managed by a financial advisor. Another key difference between the two services is that with a direct investing account, you can buy and sell assets or securities from any financial institution while with a managed services account, you can only invest in assets offered by the financial institution you are opening an account with.


Yes, you could be reimbursed for any fees—up to $150—when you transfer funds from another brokerage5. This offer can be used in conjunction with the transfer fee offer only, where applicable.
