Fine Press
- note: the terms say ‘You must be the original recipient of this offer to register.’ But it can work for everyone. Of course, if the system allows you to sign up, I would think that means you are right.
Funds must remain in the account for six months after the transfer.Offer expires April 30, 2024.- Each customer is limited to a maximum of two new account offers.
Our verdict
there are also an offer available for new users. I assume anyone can sign up without any promotion and then sign up to the users existing promotion. (Or maybe you could do both as a stack? but I doubt that will work.)
Nice to see an offer for existing users. We can add this to our list of the best brokerage bonuses.
