Our Verdict

Citi launched Self Invest earlier this year, I think this is the first bonus we’ve seen on this new account. The up to $3,500 Citi Wealth Management bonus is supposed to work on self directed accounts as well, but this new account is slightly different from my understanding. Probably not worth the hassle for only $500, but might be worth it for some people.

• Update 11/25/21: Looks like this is actually a public bonus. If you click the direct link it says ‘Learn how you can earn a cash bonus when you open a Citi Self Invest account’, click that and then it shows details of this promotion. Hat tip to Terp.
