Yes. The Finly rebate stacks with whatever sign-up offer or welcome bonus the institution provides. You get both.
Rebates are sent via Interac e-Transfer to the email on your Finly profile. Once your sign-up is verified, payments are typically processed within 10 days.
The financial institution reports the transaction back to us within a few days to a few weeks, depending on their reporting cadence. You can track the status from your Finly account.

No — Finly rebates apply only to brand-new sign-ups. If the financial institution flags you as an existing customer for that product, the rebate won't apply.
Some accounts waive the monthly fee if you maintain a minimum balance or set up direct deposits. Any waiver options are listed in the fees & limits panel above. The financial institution makes the final approval decision.
Eligible Canadian bank deposits are insured by CDIC up to $100,000 per category. Coverage details depend on the institution — check the financial institution's site for specifics.
