Eligibility & fine print

  • ·Most transfer bonuses require a new account or net-new assets: funds you already hold at that broker typically do not qualify.
  • ·You must hold the assets for the required period without withdrawals above any allowed threshold, or the broker may claw back the bonus proportionally.
  • ·Partial withdrawals during the hold period reduce the qualifying balance dollar-for-dollar at most brokers, lowering your final bonus.
  • ·Promotions can change or be discontinued without notice. Always verify terms on the broker's official offer page before initiating a transfer.
  • ·Transfer timelines vary: in-kind transfers (moving securities rather than selling and moving cash) can take 2–6 weeks.

Tax disclaimer

Cash bonuses received from a brokerage may be taxable as income. We do not show after-tax figures. Speak to a qualified accountant about how a transfer bonus affects your tax situation.
