Absolutely! But first you have to meet a few requirements. You must be at least 18 years of age, have an account and a personalized cheque from another Canadian financial institution, have a valid SIN and email address, and agree to invest in a $5 refundable share. Unfortunately, at this time, we cannot offer Hubert services to Quebec residents. Please keep in mind that Hubert only offers personal accounts. You cannot open a business or trust account with Hubert.
Hubert has zero transaction fees. Whether you’re making a deposit, transferring funds, setting up a registered account, or making a withdrawal, you won’t be charged a fee!
However, Hubert does charge fees for two things:
- Wire transfers (incoming fee is $9.07 CDN for Canadian wires or $11.77 USD for US wire transfers).
- $25 fee for accounts that are inactive for six months with a balance under $1,000.
-
Since inactive accounts are not being monitored by the account owner they pose a higher risk for fraudulent activity and have to be dealt with in a timely manner. If you don’t process a transaction semi-annually we’ll mail you a letter notifying you your account has become inactive and will request you to log into your account and process a transaction. Once this is complete we’ll remove your inactive status. Easy peasy!
-
To make a deposit to your Hubert account you have two options.
- Sign into your Hubert Online account and click on the ‘Transfer Funds In’ tab in the left hand menu. Follow the prompts to initiate the transfer. Remember, you will only be able to transfer funds from accounts that we’ve verified.
- Send us your deposit using good old-fashioned snail mail. Simply mail us a cheque that’s payable to yourself and has your Hubert account number written on the back of the cheque (so we know where to deposit the funds).
You can mail cheques to:
Hubert Financial
233 Main Street
Selkirk, MB
R1A 1S1
To transfer funds to one of your external accounts, we’ll need verify it first.
We’ll add the first external account to your transfer list for you using the information on your initial cheque deposit. This will give you the ability to complete transfers online to and from that account. You can link up to 30 external accounts but both active and deleted accounts are included in this limit.
You can add additional transfer accounts directly through Hubert Online by following these easy steps:
- On the left hand menu select ‘Manage Transfer Accounts’.
- Click ‘Add Account’ and enter the bank, transit, and account number for the account you’d like to add. In the next few days, Hubert will make a small deposit to the entered account.
- When you know the amount of the deposit, log into Hubert Online and access the ‘Manage Transfer Accounts’ menu option. Simply enter the amount for the newly added account and you’re done! You are now set up to transfer funds.
Our bank number is 879 and our transit number is 45967.
If a transfer is entered before 4:00 pm CST on a business day, you’ll start receiving interest that same day. If a transfer is entered after 4:00 pm CST on a business day, holiday, or weekend, you’ll start earning interest the next business day. A transfer-in can take up to three to five days to be debited from your external account.
Yes! Please fill out the automatic transfer form and mail it to Hubert Financial to set up an automatic transfer.
The only way to withdraw funds from your Hubert account is to complete a transfer out using Hubert Online.
To do this, login to Hubert Online and click on ‘Transfer Funds Out’ in the left hand menu. You will only be able to transfer funds to an account in your transfer accounts list that we’ve verified and approved for transfers. Transfers can take up to three to five business days to arrive at your external account.

Share redemptions will follow Sunova Credit Union’s equity application procedure which begins automatically once the request for account closure is received.

- The cheque is a requirement of the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
- Your cheque allows us to add a link to your account so you can transfer money in and out.

You may request a TFSA, RRSP, or RRIF transfer by completing a TFSA transfer request form or RRSP / RRIF transfer form. This form must be completed and signed by the annuitant (holder) and mailed back to Hubert so we can initiate the transfer with the other financial institution.
All electronic transfers are held for six business days, but you start earning interest as soon as you see the deposit in your account.
