The Bottom Line
We’ve been seeing a lot of bonus offers lately for transferring assets from one financial institution to another.
Citi is dangling $3,500 to bring deposits over to their Personal Wealth Management account. Merrill Edge will give you up to $1,000 for transferring money to their brokerage account. Chase didn’t want to miss in on the action and is willing to pay up to $3,000 for you to become a Chase Private Client.
As you’re taking advantage of these deals, remember that quite a few banks and financial institutions will reimburse you for account termination or transfer fees charged by the bank/financial institution you’re leaving.
