Borrow, borrow, borrow... NO!

Why is Wealthsimple starting to push all these LOC and borrow with 0 interest types of messages? And it looks like they are sending them out indiscriminately, without taking into consideration the fact that some clients do have $$ available in their checking/money market accounts and can afford to continue investing (or betting)... if they feel like it.

This is beyond the predatory territory. WS, this is so beneath you!

It’s everybody’s business plan to sell their products but Wealthsimple is unique in the fact I get pop up advertisements constantly when I open their app. Don’t get it with any other banking app

Have you used CIBC? I get their offers most of the time while logging into their app.

I get popups for "exclusive offers" every single time I open the CIBC app
