Now it’s even easier to grow your savings online!

Did you know you can make a direct deposit to your Equitable savings plan through your financial institution’s online banking service?

Note: Direct deposit can be made to non-registered accounts, Tax-Free Savings Accounts, and Retirement Savings Plans.

It's simple!

  1. Log into your financial institution's online banking service
  2. Select the option to add a new bill/payee
  3. Search for “Equitable Life Savings Plan”
  4. Use your Equitable Life savings plan policy number when prompted for your account number.
  5. Make a payment to Equitable. The minimum deposit on existing policies is $50 per fund and $500 per Guaranteed Deposit Account (GDA). Deposits will be invested according to the investment instructions on file.

Submitting a new application?

Using Equitable’s EZcomplete online application, your advisor can provide you with the EZcomplete application number. The application number can be used just like a policy number to make a direct deposit. Follow the steps above once you have your EZcomplete application number. The minimum deposit for new policies is $500.
