How to withdraw money from my FHSA?


The FHSA is a registered account. To withdraw money from a registered account, call us, or email us through the secure messaging system of your online brokerage platform. Make sure you have the necessary cash in the account. If this is not the case, you can sell your securities for the withdrawal amount.
