Important information
Before requesting the transfer, you should review and consider all fees charged by the delivering brokerage firm and tax consequences that may result from potential liquidations required before the delivering firm completes the transfer.
ACAT transfers made by new and existing members are eligible for this promotion. Cash and securities received via ACAT are eligible for this promotion. Public supports US equities (stocks and ETFS). Any other assets transferred will count towards the bonus amount but will be liquidated for cash. Assets that cannot be transferred via ACAT to Public include: fractional shares, crypto assets, alternative investments, options, OTC-traded securities, mutual funds, and bonds.
All eligible ACATS received by Public during the promotion period will be aggregated for purposes of determining bonus entitlement. Cash bonus will be applied to qualifying accounts one (1) month after the transfer completion date. Transferred funds must stay in the account for the required holding period or bonus will be revoked. Learn more
