    don't think this is under the $250k Aus gov guarantee so be cautious. if markets dip webull could go under

    • Ozfanmel on 02/10/2023 - 18:10

      Is it same for buying shares in Webull ?

      • Culpable on 02/10/2023 - 21:22

        Correct. Webull is not CHESS-sponsored [source], which means the shares aren't registered directly under your name.

        If Webull go under, you may lose part or all of your shares. Proceed with caution.

        • Ozfanmel on 02/10/2023 - 21:39

            • Ozfanmel on 02/10/2023 - 21:51

              @greatlamp: Oh okay even we buy from stake.com or SelfWealth is it same? Looks very risk

              • greatlamp on 02/10/2023 - 21:53

                @Ozfanmel: Yes if you are buying shares on a US exchange there is no CHESS sponsorship. If you read the terms and conditions of Selfwealth the purchase of US shares goes through a different broker.

                The only exception would be buying US shares that are cross listed on the ASX, such as some vanguard products

              • pennypacker42069 on 03/10/2023 - 08:39

                @Ozfanmel: For US shares the equivalent to CHESS is SIPC insurance

          I believe that FAQ is saying that Webull is NOT the CHESS sponsor but they partner with FinClear who IS the CHESS sponsor so you DO get your own HIN - see this faq (a little misleading though as it says Webull is CHESS sponsored but its actually their partner FinClear)

            @bfg100k: Thanks for clarifying although in this deal, it’s about depositing cash and holding to get the benefit. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t that mean CHESS sponsored is irrelevant?

          I emailed them. Seems like there is a trust setup like rokufan said, so money should be safe, assuming support person knows what they are talking about.

          Client monies are held in a segregated client trust account with JP Morgan (our partner bank). So, no creditors of either JPM or Webull can call on those funds. About US securities, you can refer to the attached. I hope it helps.

        • rokufan on 21/10/2023 - 18:39

          Sorry a bit late, but Webull repeats promos so this may be useful. See this comment thread: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14411544/redir

  • BargainBenno on 02/10/2023 - 18:05

    If they lend this money out then you are up the creek if they fail to pay it back. It’s an unsecured deposit only as good as the ability of WeBull to pay it back.

  • Joshbell on 02/10/2023 - 18:07

    So $5000 deposit gets you $200 return in 2 months?
    Hence, 4% return in 2 months? + 2% p.a. interest?
    Seems like a good deal if it is the case

    • rokufan on 02/10/2023 - 18:18

      Correct.

    • sween64 on 02/10/2023 - 20:23
      +1

      $200 in Apple shares which will be subject to market fluctuations.

      Also risk not getting your $5k back.

      • rokufan on 02/10/2023 - 22:33

        You get x number of shares valued at $200 on the day the bonus shares are added to your account. Very little price risk if you sell the same day.

        • GreenLego on 03/10/2023 - 03:36

          In the previous deals, you had to hold the shares for 15 days before they let you off load them.

    My understanding from reading is, we need to deposit a minimum of 5,000 AUD and keep it to 31 DEC 23 to be eligible for the lowest tier reward, 200$AUD AAPL shares.

    Did they say what we can / cannot do with the 5,000 AUD? I am thinking to just relocate my monthly investment amount from another app to webull, and buy VOO / QQQ.

    • wangasm on 03/10/2023 - 12:13

      It appears to measure your Net Cumulative Deposit amount, meaning your Deposits - Withdrawals must stay above $5000 for the whole period.
      This means you can do whatever you want with the money in the app after depositing (Gains/losses don't affect it). As long as you don't withdraw anything

      • Aureus on 03/10/2023 - 12:22

        The T&C says
        "The Campaign which advertises our Cash Management Facility is based on any uninvested cash the Participant deposits with us"

        While that isn't super clear, I take that as they only count deposited money that is not invested during the promo.

        • wangasm on 03/10/2023 - 12:27
          +1

          That's just what they are promoting, not what they are measuring. It's very clear in Step 3 they refer to the Net Cumulative Deposit
          Also in the app there is an FAQ for this promo

          Can I trade Stocks, ETFs, Options with my funds?
          Yes you can. You can continue trading activities taking advantage of opportunities when they arise, while earning interest on balances in your account.

          • Aureus on 03/10/2023 - 12:32

            @wangasm: That is the FAQ for the cash management feature. Nothing in the FAQ refers to the promo.

            If you are planning to do this promo I would definitely confirm with WeBull.

        based on the last line seen here - https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/118077/106943/16961507…, I think you can get away with depositing $5K by 13th Oct, don't withdraw, then come closer to 31st Dec, top up with say $95K to get the $4.5K bonus apple shares!

          That would not work, in the terms and conditions they give the formula they will use:
          [Net cumulative deposit] = [Deposits Sep 22 to Oct 13] - [Withdrawals Sep 22 to Dec 31]

  • bfg100k on 04/10/2023 - 15:33

    • wangasm on 10/10/2023 - 17:17

      I don't believe it's income because it's an asset (Same if someone gifted you shares). However if you sell it, it will likely be a CGT event.

    I emailed Webull asking how client accounts are protected, their reply:

    Webull AU customers are not covered by the $250k Australian Government Bank Guarantee because JP Morgan (our partner bank) is not a participant of APRA’s deposit insurance scheme.

    However, please be aware that the client monies facility is in a segregated client trust account with JPM. So no creditors of either JPM or Webull are able to call on those funds.

    I asked their chat team to clarify - results:
    Looks like you don't have to leave it in 2% p.a mode if you would like to safeguard your deposit (eg buy some bonds linked to your Chess hin). It's as long as you don't withdraw any cash at all from webull - you will qualify based on the deposit amount.
    … Yeah I don't get what they achieve from this, if you deposit $100k, buy $100k shares and grab their 4.5k bonus, what do they get out of it??? - at least the 2% interest, surely they're skimming interest from your cash, but if you tie it up in shares, they don't really gain anything but the small fee of a buy and sell?.

    Chat:

    "Hi there, for the your money is worth more promo, if I deposit cash, does it need to stay entirely as cash in the cash management account? (Eg if I buy shares with the money it will void it?"

    You can trade if you want. As long as your cumulative deposit amount always over the promotion requirement, then that will be OK.

    You can trade, it did not affect the promotion.

    But if you withdraw during the period, your cumulative deposit amount will drop.

    "So I could buy $5000 worth of shares and it won't affect qualify for bonus Apple shares?"

    Yes, you are right.

    "As long as I don't withdraw any cash I qualify?"

    Yes, correct.

      That surprised me, so I double checked with support and you are correct.

      Webull are CHESS sponsored so keeping your funds in ASX stock with your own HIN removes the Webull specific risk that concerned many on here.

      I took your suggestion and invested $50k in AAA, lol. I should have gone the full $100k but procrastinated too long moving money around.

      Webull repeat their promos so you are likely to get another chance, I'll make a post if I see one. Setup an OzBargain Webull alert so you don't miss it.

    However, I have not received mine yet. Between when I made the deposit in October and now, I had received two batches of TSLA share referrals, as well as the interest from the $5001 sitting in there. I had withdrawn the shares and the interest but have kept the balance at above $5000 this entire time. Have I made my self ineligible as a result of this due to the wording of “net cumulative deposit”?

      I believe you disqualified yourself. I posted this earlier above: As per the terms
      your Net Cumulative Deposit amount, meaning your Deposits - Withdrawals must stay above $5000 for the whole period. Since you withdrew, it fell below $5000. Referrels and interest are not a deposit and it doesn't matter what your internal balance is.
