## Summary
Ally Invest pays existing Ally Bank or Ally Auto customers a $200 bonus for opening a new self-directed brokerage account. You need to transfer at least $1,000 from a non-Ally account within 30 days and keep it in the account for 90 days.

## Requirements
1. Open an eligible new self-directed trading account by 12/31/2026.
2. Transfer in at least $1,000 in cash and/or securities from a non-Ally account within 30 days of opening.
3. Keep the $1,000 in the account for at least 90 days.

## Fine print that matters
- Offer is targeted to existing active Ally Bank and Ally Auto customers who have never had an Ally Invest account.
- The $1,000 must come from a non-Ally account for the full $200 bonus; transferring from an Ally Bank account earns only $100.
- Bonus is paid within 30 days of completing all steps including the 90-day hold.
- Ally charges a $50 ACAT fee if you transfer securities out to another brokerage.
