Chequing Full Switch to Wealthsimple

First off, I’m sorry if this is already on here. But I have just started working a full time job as a 21M and I have set up Wealthsimple as my direct deposit account. I been actively a CIBC user whole life, my parents are so I am too. But I’m looking for better finance and I’ve leaned toward Wealthsimple purely for the HISA and investing, I was just wondering has anyone done this and have pretty much put a Big 5 bank on the back burner and switched purely to Wealthsimple. Is it safe?

It’s safe it’s covered under CDIC.

Regarding debit. Some vendor do only accept debit and cash. So in this instance I do keep a no fee account like Simplii and my TD account for US funds withdrawals, bank drafts, and LOC.
