Pearler recently announced "…we are dropping our prices. We’re currently figuring out the finer details, [but] we have a fairly good idea that we’ll land somewhere between $5.00 and $6.50." So if Pearler's standard pricing drops to $5.50 (for example), then pre-purchased Pearler Credit would lock in future buys at $3.67/trade.

    Cash is not redeemable for cash

    • Pearler Cash is not redeemable for cash. Wording should really be Pearler Credit is not redeemable for cash.

    Can we claim prepaid brokerage in tax

    • Very good question

      And if you can't claim them until usage can you claim them if they expire at ten years?

    I don't understand why anyone would want to prepay for brokerage, when you could just go with a cheaper broker instead. It is also going to make tax calculation more difficult.

      A business that has cash flow issues would prefer you to prepay….not saying pearler has this issue as I haven't see their books

      But if Pearler goes into administration your pearler cash might be at risk

  • Can you use a mixture of pearler cash and real cash for brokerage or will you lose some pearler cash on your last order?

    • Good question and one that hasn't been clearly answered in the current offer or via Pearler's help pages. I have submitted a query to customer support. I can't see that you would forfeit any outstanding pre-purchased credit balance, so would expect them to have some sort of mechanism for managing "partial" credits.

      Can confirm that if there is a Pearler Credit balance remaining that doesn't 100% cover the brokerage fees for a trade, then the gap will be sourced from your Primary Cash Account. So in effect, there is no loss of Pearler Credit.

  • Why on earth would you tie up/ risk your cash with this company to save a relatively small amount of brokerage?

    Someone like interactive brokers has lower brokerage all day every day so I don’t think this is a bargain

    Ps I have no affiliation with IB expect as a low level account holder

    FWIW, what wasn't mentioned by the OP was that Pearler recently announced "…we are dropping our prices. We’re currently figuring out the finer details, [but] we have a fairly good idea that we’ll land somewhere between $5.00 and $6.50." So if Pearler's standard pricing drops to $5.50 (for example), then pre-purchased Pearler Credit would lock in future buys at $3.67/trade.

    The way I see it, the offer is aimed at people who want to buy smaller parcels more frequently and ties in with their auto-invest option and those who are considering to use their "round-up" feature (also recently announced, but no ETA).

      Cheers, I've added that info to my post.

    Just trade with Westpac or CBA, get the 3 days settlements. If you try to cut corner on brokerage fees, that means you're trading too much. Although that could benefit experienced investors, newbies will end up naked by focusing on brokerage fees.
    I don't think it's a good business model, sorry OP.

      Don't worry about us noobs. We got it all figured out 😁
      I always start my trading without clothes so I'm never caught unaware when the brokerage fees try to rip my clothes off.
      As an experienced investor I would have thought you had figured out how to navigate that difficult situation🤔
