Use promo code (promo code removed) before 30 July 2021 to take up this exclusive offer. Already a customer? Contact NAB to have this offer applied.

Definitely free for new customers. And maybe targeted for existing customers? May need to call NAB to be sure.

MOD: Received email from NAB, stating that

Offer is for selected existing NAB customers only
NAB will review all who applied using the code, and those who are not eligible won't be able to redeem the offer.
A new publicly available code will be released soon.

We are now marking this offer as Targeted. If you are not an NAB customer and did not receive the original email, this offer might not be for you.

    the website goes down on days of heavy volatility (unable to buy or sell in a hurry) and end up spending two hours on the phone to get to a customer service rep. happened a few times already. fine on other days, good while brokerage is free or if you don't trade often - otherwise worth extra to go to commsec as it will work when you need it

      as someone who has experienced this first hand and unfortunately when trying to place a 6 figure order its very nerve racking, if you are ever in this situation your best bet is to forget the website and/or app and try the mobile site m.nabtrade.com.au
      
      during the worst days of the COVID crash I was able to execute orders through the mobile site while the other site was down
      
      sometimes it can be an IRESS problem that affects multiple brokers
      
      good thing about nabtrade is that your cash is safe in nabtrade cash account. same can not be said for other cheaper online brokers where client cash is pooled and stored in trust account .

        @LeonC: What? All settlements are T+2 on ASX & Chi-X? Unless you're trading Options?

        +3
        
        @7AnDi: Yes but that's from institution to institution, NABtrade (and I'm pretty sure all other trading platforms in Aus except Commsec) require you to have cleared/clearing funds available before you execute a buy.
        
        That's one of the negatives about Selfweath is that it's not a bank you'd typically hold money in, so you have to move money in to make a trade and hope it clears in time for you to do the buy order.
        
        It's not a deal breaker by any means, but it's something to keep in mind.
        
        EDIT: I should clarify, I know for a fact NAB doesn't offer T+2 to users, you have to have funds in your account (either clearing from other trades or cleared) to make a trade.
        
        7AnDi on 22/06/2021 - 17:44
        
        @LeonC: Ahh, i know CommSec & Westpac don't require funds upfront if you have holdings in the ASX Top 200 as they take it into account as collateral. Does NAB Trade not provide the same facility?
        
        hanofee on 22/06/2021 - 18:22
        
        @7AnDi: Only CommSec and Westpac from the big 4. In fact, they're the only 2 I know doing T+2.
        
        didelly on 23/06/2021 - 14:40
        
        @hanofee: Not T+2 but ThinkTrader lets your transfer money instantly (using Poli I Think?) so you don't need to wait 2-3 days for it to clear like SelfWealth,NAB etc. But their app is a bit dubious imo. I only jumped on cause they had free trades at the time.
        
        hanofee on 23/06/2021 - 14:45
        
        @didelly: IG can accept debit card too, which is instant. But that's still different as you need to have the money first. With commsec/westpac, u don't, as u pay 2 days later and it can be handy sometimes (e.g: when u wait ur fund to clear from other source, or when u just want to put unlikely buy order but didn't want to get ur balance locked because of that or when ur daytrading as it'd offset the buy/sell directly before charging u)

  The web interface itself is ok - I've seen worse. Look up "dog's breakfast" in Wikipedia and it'll show International Brokers and Binance's websites. Seeing full book depth was good too during the trial.
  
  I got the $1000 deal before - well it was actually $2000 as it was $1000 for international trades as well. I don't think they intended that though. The free trades were confusing at first - as you'd get charged brokerage, immediately see a negative ROI, then a few days later get the fee reimbursed and the ROI fixed up.
  
  International trades steer clear though with them as there's only a AUD trading account - so each buy and sell gets currency converted. Not only fees but exit timing is hard enough without having to take into account currency pairings. Better to get a foreign currency trading account with IBKR or the like.
  
  Also crappy trading account with no instant transfers through Osko etc. But at least they have a 'high' interest account you can sweep money into.

It’s advertised on the landing page to contact them if you’re an existing customer.

I’m shooting an email to them via [email protected]
And quoting my customer number and the above code.

Will allow me to consolidate some of my smaller holdings without a significant brokerage. Been holding them for a couple of years and couldn’t bring myself to pay so much to sell them.

Thanks OP!

  Lol it seems to be a good chance to cash out the gain on the stocks I bought with the promo last year. Averaging to about 90% gain with no trading activity at all in between.
[Deactivated] on 22/06/2021 - 20:52

I got a reply from them saying

"Certainly, I've applied that now for you with expiry date 20th September.

Happy trading!"

As for the comment saying I'm paying too much brokerage at nabtrade I don't disagree but normally I'm paying around $19.95 for trades between 5k and 20k so double the cheaper alternatives . Not a big deal..But I don't trade much probably a dozen or less times a year usually buys… Occasionally I'f I'm in or out of my larger etf holdings then I do pay hundreds in brokerage on these , not ideal but it's a rare event

Something I am going to consider in future , what would you recommend self wealth ? Or something else?
- marklar on 22/06/2021 - 22:30
  
  I just moved from nabtrade to selfwealth, no regrets so far.
WillKillfor5Cents on 22/06/2021 - 21:10

I guess you guys could always just use the free trades to do your dollar cost averaging, get set in all of your holdings within 3 months. Then, by the time you need to rebalance, switch to SelfWealth, transfer the holdings inside the HIN and use the 5 free trades.

Going even further, maybe later this year, Stake would come with even cheaper offering in the market and transfer your holdings again (assuming Stake is under HIN ownership and not custodial model), but there's no details released yet as of now.

Good luck investing!
Brandijs on 22/06/2021 - 22:58

  At the time of trading the fees would be added and removed. Making it to effectively zero but counting towards your $1000 limit.
  
  You can always check your balance as well.
  - Brandijs on 23/06/2021 - 07:29

        @Dawn462643: I'd like to know how others get on too. Have an existing nabtrade account and got an email after enquiring saying that they applied the offer.
        
        But when I go to place an order the brokerage appears to be added and I'm reluctant to place an order. Was hoping to top up some existing holdings with smaller amounts but if the fees apply its not worth doing.
        
        Some past posts of this offer seem to suggest you can see a balance in the admin - personal settings but I dont see anything there.
        
        Sent a reply to the customer service rep so I'll see what happens.
        
        Was getting excited to take advantage and will be very disappointed if it doesnt happen!

        @rx8geek: Thanks, hopefully I get a reply soon. Thought it was nice that NAB included existing customers, probably got excited too early.
        
        rx8geek on 24/06/2021 - 10:24
        
        @shiba: I've just received a reply to my follow up email and they confirmed that the offer is on my account with the following:
        
        "When you place the trade, the order pad will still appear with a brokerage fee listed. However, once the trade has been executed and the confirmation note generated; you will find that no fee is charged."
        
        Good to know.
        
        Hopefully they give you the offer! I'm planning to DCA into some of my watchlist over the next few months, but the amounts I have only make it worth doing with free brokerage.
        
        shiba on 24/06/2021 - 12:20
        
        @rx8geek: Thanks. Can you please give an update once you have placed an order that a brokerage fee wasn't charged despite it not showing up on the admin page?
        
        rx8geek on 24/06/2021 - 12:58
        
        @shiba: Ok I can now confirm it works as they say, but there is a bit of a catch.
        
        The contract note I was emailed shows $0.00 brokerage, sweet!
        
        In the upcoming settlement section it also shows just price with free brokerage.
        
        The funky bit is your available cash balance will be reduced by the amount of the trade WITH the brokerage amount.
        
        I expect what is going to happen is on settlement (2 trading days), the balance available will be processed by the contract amount and value of the brokerage amount will be back as available in the cash account.
        
        I think that will mean for each trade, the amount of brokerage is going to be held up in your cash account balance for the few days til it settles.
        
        Kinda confusing, a little frustrating, but for some free trades I can deal with it.
        
        hanofee on 24/06/2021 - 13:02
        
        @rx8geek: Thanks for the info. I didn't get any contract note yet, only welcome email so far with my userID. But my ID verification had error (maybe because of that), trying to email support but no response yet
        
        shiba on 24/06/2021 - 14:54
        
        @rx8geek: That's great to know. Thanks! :)

Just contacted them to have this offer applied as an existing customer.

The first call center operative indicated that it would be no problem and the promotion should be applied by tomorrow - but the call then dropped out.

I called back and spoke to a different call center operative to check if everything had gone through. I was told that they hadn't received any instructions on this promo re existing customers as "it went out a bit early" and that they were "adding names to a list" and would confirm anything in the future correspondence.

I've been added to the list. Hmm.

I'm not happy with NabTrade. Trade orders that show as Confirmed but never appear in Open Orders, no reason provided, no heads-up.

And if anyone has discovered where they hide their annual tax reporting please point me to it as I've not yet located it.

Also huge delay in processing margin lending applications - applied 29th May and received an email saying they had a backlog, since then… crickets….
- Janko on 24/06/2021 - 12:35
  
  There are transaction reports etc in the "Total Wealth" menu but I dare not even try it. If you've got 10 or less securities, get a free Sharesight account (or multiple if over) - at least there you can decide per share if you'd like to minimise or maximise CGT per year.
  
  Share tax reports are quite refreshingly easy in comparison to crypto where every coin swap is a CGT event, every daily staking interest applied income, complicated fees and AUD conversions… I'm on the verge on sending the ATO a "f off, just work it out and send me the bill" letter.
  - miwahni on 24/06/2021 - 22:46
    
    I've had a look at that menu and the reports there. I guess I'm just being picky but I'm used to Directshares which presents a full report of each holding with dividends and franking credits applicable summarised for each holding, expressed as a percentage of share price etc… it's very useful at tax time (not all dividends and franking credits auto-populate into ITR) and you can quickly work out your overall return etc. Great for people like me who are too lazy to update a spreadsheet.
    
    I will have a look at Sharesight, although the thought of a couple more accounts is a bit offputting. Still, if it's useful…. thanks for the tip.
    
    Good luck with your crypto reports. I'd be putting that in the too-hard basket I think :-)

It is for existing NAB customers (which includes just banking members), so you can create a NABTrade account then instantly add it. I didn't have a code at sign-up, but just called them and they added it for me. Super easy!

        I was asked how I got the promo. I just said I saw it on internet. And the staff was fine with it.

      I am an existing user and got it working by contacting them without any hassles.

I applied through this link and code was automatically applied. I’m a new customer and haven’t placed any trades so not sure if this actually works though. https://www.nabtrade.com.au/investor/campaigns/landing-pages…

New user as well. Can't see $1000 anywhere. It's charging the brokrage while placing a trade. Will they charge and Refund?

Thanks OP. Wish this would work on the Ubank app!

  If UBank starts brokerage service then seriously selfwealth and other cheap brokers will run out of business… as most user has high interest saving account with Ubank and having trading account linked will be game changer for NAB but they won't do it as all NAB customer probably move out to Ubank.. !

    Ubank is owned by NAB

      I know that and that is why they won't do it. NAB can always try to compete with Selfwealth and other low cost brokers with simple trading platform run by Ubank at flat fee lower then selfwealth… !

  Care to read my previous comment? Just go to view revision of this thread and you can get promo code from there.
  Not making a point on you but feel this can help any further members needing the code. It’s there just you need to know how to view that.
