Score a Sweet Bonus: Public.com Offering Up to $10,000 for Transfers!
Published on January 19, 2026, 9:21 PM
Thinking of moving your investment accounts? Public.com is offering a tiered bonus for new and existing customers who transfer funds into their platform. The bonus ranges from $150 for a $5,000 transfer all the way up to a whopping $10,000 if you transfer $5,000,000 or more! This offer is valid for both regular brokerage accounts and IRAs, so it's relevant whether you're saving for retirement or just looking for a new investment home. Here's the catch (there's always one, right?): You'll need to keep the transferred funds in your Public account for five years to keep the bonus. Previously it was 12 months, so this has increased significantly. Also, this has been extended to December 31st! Why does this matter to award travelers? Well, that extra cash could fuel your next adventure! While tying up a large chunk of change for five years isn't for everyone, if you have long-term investment goals, this could be a great way to boost your travel fund. Also, Public.com will cover ACAT (Automated Customer Account Transfer) fees charged by your old brokerage, up to $100, which sweetens the deal. Don't forget to look into the CLEAR signup bonus as well.
