Micro-investing apps have grown more and more popular among the next generation of investors. Learn how it works and your options for getting started in Canada.<\/p><h3>What is micro-investing?<\/h3><p>Micro-investing allows you to invest small amounts of money to contribute to building up a profitable fund. The premise is simple: If you make small, frequent contributions over time into an investment portfolio, you have the potential to earn more than if you\u2019d saved it up as cash in a savings account.<\/p><p>Not every micro-investing platform works the same way. Some apps let you buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/fractional-shares\">fractional shares<\/a>, which are small portions of a full stock or ETF. This lets you invest with just a few dollars, making it easier to start building a portfolio gradually. Others work by investing spare change from everyday purchases when you link your bank account.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><h4>Example of spare change micro-investing.<\/h4><p>Let\u2019s say you purchase a coffee for $4.60 with your debit card. Your micro-investing app may round up the total purchase to $5 and automatically invest the extra 40 cents into your portfolio. The small amount doesn\u2019t sound like a lot on its own, but it can add up over time into a more sizable investment balance than you might realize.<\/p><\/div><\/article><h3>Which providers offer micro-investing?<\/h3><p>The following Canadian brokerages allow you to engage in micro-investing, while also offering competitive fee structures and other helpful trading features.<\/p><div class=\"content tableWithFilters\n        \n        \n         best-cards-table-container\" id=\"comparison-table\" data-section=\"table\" data-niche=\"CAFST\">\n    <div class=\"tableWithFilters__tableTop\">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"contentWrapper tableWithFilters__contentWrapper \">\n        <div class=\"tableWithFilters__table content\">\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function () {\n  const fsniche = \"cafst\";\n  const getEventToListenTo = () => {\n    if (window.matchMedia('(any-hover:none)').matches) {\n      if (window.matchMedia('(max-width: 450px)').matches) {\n        return \"scroll\";\n      }\n    }\n    return \"DOMContentLoaded\";\n  };\n  const eventToWatch = getEventToListenTo();\n  const waitForLoadOnTheFly = (callback, maxAttempts = 50) => {\n    let attempts = 0;\n    const checkAndExecute = () => {\n      attempts++;\n      if (window.loadOnTheFly && window.loadOnTheFly.html) {\n        callback();\n      } else if (attempts < maxAttempts) {\n        setTimeout(checkAndExecute, 100);\n      } else {\n        console.error('loadOnTheFly.html not available after maximum attempts');\n      }\n    };\n    checkAndExecute();\n  };\n  \/\/ Two tables of the same niche output this script twice; load that niche's modal once.\n  window.finderScoreModalsRequested = window.finderScoreModalsRequested || {};\n  const loadFinderScoreModal = () => {\n    window.removeEventListener(eventToWatch, loadFinderScoreModal);\n    if (window.finderScoreModalsRequested[fsniche]) return;\n    window.finderScoreModalsRequested[fsniche] = true;\n    setTimeout(function () {\n      var partialId = \"\" || 'finder-score-' + fsniche + '-modal-optimized';\n      waitForLoadOnTheFly(() => {\n        window.loadOnTheFly.html('partial', { id: partialId }, function (response) {\n          document.getElementsByTagName(\"body\")[0].appendChild(response);\n          var modal = document.getElementById('finderScoreModal-' + fsniche);\n          var closeButton = modal.querySelector(\"#closeButton\");\n          closeButton.onclick = function () { modal.classList.add(\"elementHidden\"); };\n          var btnReadMethodology = modal.querySelector(\"#btnReadMethodology\");\n          btnReadMethodology.addEventListener(\"click\", function () { modal.classList.add(\"elementHidden\"); });\n          window.addEventListener(\"click\", function (event) {\n            if (event.target == modal) { modal.classList.add(\"elementHidden\"); }\n          });\n        });\n      });\n    }, 1000);\n  };\n  window.addEventListener(eventToWatch, loadFinderScoreModal);\n  window.showFinderScoreModal = window.showFinderScoreModal || function (niche) {\n    var attempts = 0;\n    var existCondition = setInterval(function () {\n      const modalLoaded = document.getElementById('finderScoreModal-' + niche);\n      if (modalLoaded) {\n        clearInterval(existCondition);\n        modalLoaded.classList.remove('elementHidden');\n      } else if (++attempts > 40) {\n        clearInterval(existCondition);\n      }\n    }, 500);\n  };\n})();\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nwindow.rewardsConfigs = window.rewardsConfigs || {};\n    window.rewardsConfigs[\"qtrade|invest|oct-2026~cafst\"] = {\"startDate\":\"2026-10-16T20:00:00.000Z\",\"endDate\":\"2026-11-30T22:00:00.000Z\",\"showVisaLogo\":true,\"countryCode\":\"CA\",\"isAlwaysOn\":false,\"isTieredReward\":false,\"rewardCopy\":\"Join Finder then open a new Qtrade Direct Investing account through Finder as a new Qtrade client and fund it with a deposit that settles by the end of the promotion to receive an $80 digital Visa gift card.

While it doesn't offer traditional micro-investing features like fractional shares or automated roundup contributions, investors can use Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs) to gain exposure to high-value US or global stocks in Canadian dollars. CDRs represent a fraction of a foreign share and trade on Canadian exchanges, making it easier to invest smaller amounts without needing to buy full shares or handle currency conversion.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pros-cons\"><button class=\"pros-cons__summary\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"pros-cons__d599fb3a-3477-4063-87f4-1540c26e9cad\">\n\t\t\tPros &amp;

For example, if you\u2019re investing only $5 per month, the total fees are $2.50 a month and the returns are less than 1% a month, you\u2019re likely better off sticking to a savings account.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/how-to-start-investing\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">How to start investing<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><h3>Fees for micro-investing<\/h3><p>Common fees your micro-investment app may charge include:<\/p><ul class=\"list-9\"><li><strong>Commission\/trading fees.<\/strong> Brokers typically charge a commission or trading fee each time you buy or sell a security, ranging from $1\u2013$6.95.<\/li><li><strong>Subscription or management fees. <\/strong>Some apps charge ongoing annual fees of $100 to keep your account open.<\/li><li><strong>Clearing fees. <\/strong>A small charge of $2 may be passed on to investors to cover the cost of settling and finalizing a trade through a clearing house.<\/li><li><strong>Inactivity fees. <\/strong>If you don\u2019t trade for a certain period or don\u2019t meet activity thresholds, you may be charged $25 per quarter.<\/li><li><strong>Currency conversion fees. <\/strong>When buying foreign securities, some platforms charge 1.5%\u20131.6% to convert your Canadian dollars.<\/li><li><strong>Withdrawal fees. <\/strong>Most investment platforms allow you to withdraw your funds by bank transfer for free, but you may have to pay $25\u2013$50 for wire transfers.<\/li><li><strong>Regulatory fees. <\/strong>Third parties like exchanges, clearing houses or regulatory bodies may charge regulatory fees that vary greatly depending on variables like the share count and price.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Benefits of micro-investing<\/h3><p>Many micro-investing platforms offer a quick and simple way to link your bank account, acting like an electronic piggy bank for your spare change.<\/p><ul class=\"list-1\"><li><strong>It\u2019s convenient.<\/strong> Micro-investing requires minimal input on your part. In some cases, the entire process is automated and you can start building an investment balance without realizing it. In other cases, you can access investments you otherwise wouldn\u2019t have been able to afford.<\/li><li><strong>Establish a savings habit.<\/strong> Micro-investing can help create positive saving habits that last a lifetime. It\u2019s an effective way for Canadians who have never invested their money before to make a start.<\/li><li><strong>Minimal investment required.<\/strong> You don\u2019t need a huge bank balance to take advantage of a micro-investing platform. Start by investing your small change, and watch your balance grow over time.<\/li><li><strong>No need for investment expertise.<\/strong> The money in your investment fund can be balanced in a diversified ETF portfolio based on your financial goals and your appetite for risk.<\/li><\/ul><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">Beginner's guide: Investing in ETFs in Canada<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><h3>What are the risks of micro-investing?<\/h3><p>Like any other investment option, there\u2019s no guarantee that the investment portfolio you choose through your micro-investing platform will perform as you hope, and you could end up losing money. The investment portfolio recommended for you is chosen based on your risk tolerance, so depending on your financial goals, you have the option to minimize your risk exposure.<\/p><ul class=\"list-3\"><li><strong>Potential fees. <\/strong>You may need to pay an account management fee that\u2019s either a flat fee or calculated based on a percentage of your account balance, while brokerage and ETF management fees may also apply when you purchase ETFs through your account.<\/li><li><strong>Easy to forget. <\/strong>Because the investing takes place in the background, you might not remember it\u2019s there. While this can be a good thing for investors who tend to \u201covermanage\u201d their savings, make sure to regularly review the performance of your investments to ensure they are meeting your expectations.<\/li><li><strong>Market risk. <\/strong>The value of the stocks, ETFs or other assets you invest in can fluctuate due to market conditions, economic growth or global events.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Alternatives to micro-investing<\/h3><p>If you\u2019re not ready to break into investments or need quick, on-demand access to your money, check out these similar options offered by banks to boost your savings. Examples include:<\/p><ul class=\"list-9\"><li><strong>Scotiabank\u2019s Bank the Rest program.<\/strong> Your purchases are rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the difference is transferred to a designated bank account.<\/li><li><strong>TD\u2019s Simply Save program<\/strong>. Arrange to have a small, pre-determined amount transferred to your savings account every time you make a debit purchase or an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/chequing-accounts\/atm-near-me\">ATM withdrawal<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>RBC\u2019s NOMI Find &amp; Save program. <\/strong>This program uses artificial intelligence to analyze your spending habits and automatically move small amounts of money into a savings account when it predicts you can afford it.<\/li><li><strong>KOHO\u2019s RoundUps program. <\/strong>Every purchase you make with your KOHO card will be automatically rounded up to the nearest $1, $2, $5 or $10, depending on the amount you choose.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>It doesn\u2019t always take a large amount of money to invest for the future. Through micro-investing features like roundups and fractional shares, you can begin investing without altering your lifestyle and access the investments you want easily and affordably.<\/p><p>Each platform invests a little differently, so compare your options to find the right fit for your budget and spending habits.
