Our Verdict
It seems like whenever Robinhood comes out with something, WeBull does a similar offer and ups the ante. Robinhood just came out with a 2% match offer on a 5 year hold and WeBull is now offering 4% on a 5 year hold. The Robinhood offer has the advantage of getting the full 2% immediately. The WeBull offer has the advantage of not being locked in for the full 5 years – if you pull out in middle you should still be able to keep the part of the 4% bonus which was already received.
A few notes:
- WeBull will reimburse up to $100 in transfer fees.
- WeBull apparently isn’t great with transferring over cost basis, so you might have to get manually involved for that to process correctly.
- I’d recommend keeping your balances under $500,000 since that’s the SIPC insurance amount.
- Be sure to enroll in the promo. My guess is this promo is for both new and existing users who click ‘Enroll Today’, but you’ll want to make sure that enrollment works and possibly verify with WeBull support. The good news is that within just a couple months you’ll already have confirmation that it’s working when the first 2% bonus installment comes on 12/1/25.
- Apparently, you can’t withdraw the bonus amount, and so I’d recommend leaving everything in the account until the bonus period is up.
This is from the best brokerage bonuses out there, and possibly the best one out there for high tier transfer. (Kraken is a good alternative at 2% on 1 year hold.) I’m considering doing this deal myself, though I hesitate due to the cost basis issue. I’m also not yet fully comfortable with the WeBull system. We’ll add this to our List of Best Brokerage Bonuses.
