How to Print a Void Cheque

Our regulations, in combination with the Government, are slowly removing any physical cheques from investment accounts as sometimes cheques get lost in the mail (or clients forget to update us when they move). 

Book a Meeting

In order to successfully phase out the mailing of cheques, we are now required to add banking information to every single account. This means that if you ever wish to withdraw money, or deposit money into your account it is already set up and ready to go. 

This is a mandatory part of updating your file now, set by our investment regulations.

You have 3 options for providing this:

  1. In Person: 
    • Bring a Void Cheque, or PAD print out to your in-person meeting
    • How to Print a Void Cheque / PAD from your online banking
  2. By Email:
  3. Upload the cheque directly into your Investia Client Portal
    • Step by step directions can be found here.

Why Does Investia Ask for Your Bank Account Info?

To make things easier for you, Investia uses something called a Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) agreement. This simply means that—with your permission—they can automatically withdraw fees from your bank account when needed.

Here’s why it matters:

  • Annual fees (usually $50 per client) help cover account administration and are charged once a year.
  • If you use fee-based advisory services, those fees can also collected this way.
  • Any unpaid or outstanding fees will be carried forward and eventually collected—especially if you transfer your account out.

Having your bank account on file ensures that payments are handled smoothly and on time, without needing manual follow-ups. You’re always in control—you can update or cancel your PAD agreement with notice, and you’re protected by Canadian banking rules if anything goes wrong.

For full details, you can check out Investia’s Administrative Fee Schedule.

So, when we ask for a void cheque or banking details, it’s just to make sure your Investia account runs efficiently and securely.
