Axos is another financial app that combines banking, investing, and borrowing services. Right now, they are offering a $150 bonus when you open a new Axos Invest brokerage account, fund it with $1,000, and keep it there for 90 days. You can choose Self-Directed Trading or their Managed Portfolio (robo-advisor) option, but the Self-Directed option has no advisory fees and offers $0 stock and ETF trades. Options cost $1 per contract.
Transfer fee reimbursement. If you move $50,000+ of assets over, they will reimburse transfer fees up to $300.
Relatively straightforward promo with a solid return on cash locked up. Keep in mind that if you buy something and want to transfer it out later, you may have to pay an $75 outgoing transfer fee (see their fee schedule). If I want to avoid that, I usually either stay in cash, plan an exit to another broker that will reimburse that fee, or buy something that I plan on selling and just withdrawing cash without fees.

Thank you. This was a great share. Looking forward to receiving my $150.00. Please share more of these types of offers.
Quick question on this, by direct deposit, can it be a bank transfer? Thanks!
My reading of the terms is that a bank transfer from an external bank (not Axos) will qualify for the bonus.
I received an unexpected $50 bonus today (Friday, July 8) from Axos. This is 21 days after opening my account (Friday, June 17) and 17 days after funding my account with $1000 (Tuesday, June 21). Nice, but I have no idea why. For reference: I opened a self-directed trading account, have made no trades, do not have margin or options enabled, and don’t even use the money market sweep. Their email makes it sound like this is in addition to the $150 bonus:
“Congratulations on completing the requirements for the additional $50 credit promotion on your Self-Directed Trading account! This email serves as a confirmation of the additional $50 credit applied to your account. Please take the time to navigate to your trading account, and you will see that the credit has been successfully applied. As a reminder, you are still qualified to receive the remaining $150 payout, as long as the balance of the account is maintained over the required 90 day wait time to qualify for the offer.”
That’s great. I hope I receive same.
This has changed. It’s now 2K, and you need to do 2 $25 trades if you do self-managed:
