Talking point: Wealthsimple said new chequing-account openings exceeded new investment accounts for the first time, as it expands beyond investing into everyday banking and intensifies competition with Canada’s dominant Big Six banks.

Wealthsimple ended the quarter with 3.6 million clients, excluding tax filers, and said nearly one-quarter of Canadians aged 18 to 40 use at least one of its products.
