PledgementWhat it takes to verify and protect your account.
Opening an account at Pledgement means passing standard KYC verification, a government photo ID and a proof of address, before any deposit is accepted. This keeps your account, and everyone else's, protected against fraud.
What we are here to do
Most Canadians who want to invest never start, because every route in looks built for someone who already knows the vocabulary. We built the opposite: one account, plain language, and an analyst you can actually reach.
No jargon where a plain sentence works, no charge that only appears after the money has moved, and no promise of a return nobody can honestly guarantee.
- Government ID and proof of address checked at sign-up.
- Two-factor authentication required on every login.
- Funds held in a segregated account, never company assets.
- Withdrawal requests matched against your verified identity.
How Pledgement came together
The starting point
A small group of analysts and engineers kept hearing the same thing from Canadian investors: the tools existed, but nobody explained them in plain language.
First working version
The first build showed one thing clearly: a balance and a position, in plain terms. Everything else was trimmed until that part was obvious.
Adding the human side
Automation answers what and when; a person answers why. Support specialists joined so every client has someone to call.
Opening more markets
Interac funding, bilingual support and hours that match Canadian time zones.
Where we are now
Same principles, larger scale: published figures, reachable people, no surprises buried in fine print.
The people behind the account
Behind the interface are analysts who read markets daily, engineers who keep the platform running, and support specialists who answer in your language.
- Market analysts reviewing volatility and conditions daily, not quarterly.
- Engineers monitoring the platform around the clock.
- Support specialists handling onboarding, KYC verification and withdrawals.
Pledgement and your security
Client funds are held in a segregated account with regulated payment partners, access requires two-factor authentication, and every withdrawal follows a documented route back to the account it came from.
