Online banking makes RSP season easier
March 1, 2021 is the deadline for clients to make Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) contributions within the first 60 days and that date is quickly approaching! Why not alleviate some stress by having your clients make their deposits using online banking?
To get started with online banking, clients simply log in to their online bank account and select the option to add a new bill/payee and search for Equitable Life Savings Plan. The Equitable Life savings plan policy number will serve as the account number.
Clients that complete their deposits using online banking don’t have to stress about mailing a cheque. Or worry about whether the money will make it to head office in time for the deadline. Deposits are applied based on the investment direction on file.
Deposits can be made to RSPs as well as Tax-Free Savings Accounts and non-registered accounts. The minimum deposit is $50 per fund and $500 per Guaranteed Deposit Account (GDA).

Policy contract changes for residents of Quebec
Starting June 1, 2023, there will be new language rules for any “contracts of adhesion”, including insurance policy contracts, in Quebec. These changes are part of Bill 96, which is about respecting French as the official and common language of Quebec.
At Equitable Life, we have made some changes to our contract processes to support this new requirement.
Starting after May 23, 2023, clients who live in Quebec will always get a copy of their insurance policy contract in French, regardless of language preference.
- We will only send the English copy to the policy owner if they specifically ask for it. In that case, we would also send a French copy.
- For clients who request a copy of their policy contract in French, there is no change. We pride ourselves in respecting the needs of our clients.
If you want to learn more about these language changes, visit Assemblee nationale du Quebec - Bill 96. You may also contact your wholesaler. -

Important Information Regarding FHSA Contributions
Many clients have already taken advantage of Equitable’s First Home Savings Account (FHSA), available on Pivotal Select™ Investment Class (75/75) and Pivotal Select Estate Class (75/100).
Below, we answer questions we have received regarding cut-off dates for 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipts.
1. The client submitted an application with a deposit before 11:59 p.m. ET on December 29, 2023. Will they get a 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipt?
Yes, the client will receive a 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipt.
2. The client submitted an application with a deposit on December 30 or 31, 2023. Will they get a 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipt?
No, the client will not receive a 2023 FHSA contribution receipt. The client’s deposit will be made effective the next business day, January 2, 2024. The client will receive a FHSA contribution tax receipt for the 2024 tax year.
However, since the client signed the application on or before December 31, 2023, they are eligible to take advantage of the 2023 contribution room in 2024 (up to $16,000 total*).
3. The client submitted an application with a deposit after January 1, 2024, but it was signed on or before December 31, 2023. Will they be eligible for the 2023 contribution room?
Yes. Any FHSA application received on or before 4:00 p.m. ET on January 12, 2024 that was signed on or before December 31, 2023 will be eligible to take advantage of the 2023 contribution room in 2024*.
4. The client received a confirmation letter stating their deposit was effective in January, but the application and contribution was submitted on or before December 29, 2023, will they receive a 2023 tax receipt for their contribution?
Yes, if the client received a confirmation letter stating their deposit was effective in January but the application and deposit was received at Equitable® on or before December 29, 2023, they will receive a 2023 tax receipt for their contribution. We are currently updating any impacted FHSA policies to reflect a December trade date. The client will receive a revised confirmation letter reflecting the December trade date.

FHSA contribution receipts for the 2023 tax year will be mailed to clients by February 29, 2024.
