Merrill Edge is offering a $100, $150, $250 or $600 bonus to new clients that open an IRA or cash management account. Users also benefit from free stock, ETF and options trading with no trade minimums. Read on for terms and conditions plus joining details.

Joining Offer

The welcome bonus is available to traders that open a Merrill Edge IRA or cash management account.

Users simply need to enter the promo code ‘600ME’ on the online application form. Alternatively, new clients can open an account on the phone (877 657 3847) or by visiting a local branch.

Users will need to make a qualifying deposit within 45 days to earn the joining bonus. A larger deposit will lead to a bigger bonus:

  • Deposit between $20,000 and $49,999.99 to get a $100 bonus
  • Deposit between $50,000 and $99,999.99 to get a $150 bonus
  • Deposit between $100,000 and $199,999.99 to get a $250 bonus
  • Deposit $200,000+ to get a $600 bonus

Traders must maintain the account balance for 90 days to qualify for the welcome offer. Merrill Edge will then apply the cash bonus two weeks after the 90-day period.

Note, assets transferred from Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPF&S), U.S. Trust, or 401(k) accounts administered by MLPF&S do not count as new assets.

Also, the welcome bonus limits traders to a single IRA (rollover, traditional, Roth and sole-proprietor SEP only) plus one cash management account. Traders cannot have more than two qualifying accounts.
