Firstrade Promotion
Robinhood Promotion
Firstrade Promotion Details
Highlights:
• Firstrade is offering a 1% account transfer bonus, up to $10,000.
• A minimum transfer of $5,000 is required.
If you’re considering switching brokers, now is a good time. Firstrade will pay you—sometimes a lot—just for moving your account.
Details on Firstrade’s Promo
Eligible accounts include Individual Brokerage Accounts, Joint Accounts, and Custodial Accounts.
New assets must be transferred into a Firstrade Brokerage Account from another financial firm using ACATS (full or partial). The request must be submitted during the promotion period (September 2, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET to September 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET). Even if the transfer is completed later, it will still count if the request was made during the eligible dates. Requests made outside this period will not qualify.
To qualify, the transfer must be at least $5,000. Larger transfers are allowed, but Firstrade only matches up to $1 million in assets. This high cap allows for very large bonus payouts.
Ineligible transfers include:
- Internal transfers between Firstrade accounts
- ACH deposits (bank transfers)
- Wire transfers or checks
- Direct 401(k) rollovers
- DTC transfers
To get the bonus, the account must be opened through
Firstrade’s special 1% match page.
Applicants must be U.S. residents, and transfers must be ACAT transfers.
After Firstrade receives the transfer and calculates the bonus, it will be credited within a few days.
If withdrawals reduce the account below the qualifying level (including the bonus), or if the account is closed within two years, the full bonus will be taken back.
