Public now offers a 1% Match who transfer eligible accounts. When you move your brokerage or retirement account to Public, you’ll receive a 1% cash match on the total value of assets transferred. There’s no cap — whether you transfer $5,000 or $5 million, you’ll always receive 1% of the transferred amount as a cash bonus.
Eligible transfers include brokerage accounts as well as retirement accounts like Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, Rollover IRAs, and certain 401(k) rollovers. Supported assets are stocks, ETFs, options, bonds, and cash.
Once your transfer is complete — typically within 7 to 10 business days — your 1% match will be credited to your Public account as cash. These matched funds must remain in your account for five years. Withdrawing them earlier could result in forfeiture of the reward.
If your old brokerage charges a transfer-out fee, Public will cover up to $100 per transfer, provided the transfer value is $5,000 or more.
To get started, simply open the Public app and go to Account → Transfer to Public, then follow the steps to initiate your transfer!
