  • November 24, 2020 13:27

This step-by-step summary covers how to set up a new Collective Retirement Account (CRA) with an investor lump sum and a regular employer contribution. Please note it is possible to have only one employer regular contribution set up on a client record. However, there are options available to facilitate multiple employer payments, so please contact us if that is a requirement.

What you’ll need to get started

  • Client details including bank details.
  • Details of the client lump sum including payment method.
  • Investment details.
  • Details of the client’s employer.
  • Details of the regular employer contribution.

Please note that regular investments from investor, employer or third parties must be made from separate bank accounts.
