From 1 to 30 April 2025, Longbridge is dishing out a generous set of welcome rewards for new users and first-time depositors. Open an account and fund it with as little as S$2,000 to unlock lifetime commission-free trading on US and HK stocks, interest boost coupons worth up to 14%, and even free NVIDIA or Apple shares.
And if you sign up using this exclusive link, you’ll get an additional S$18 cash coupon + 6% interest coupon —on top of everything else.
It’s a compelling offer, especially if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to try out a new brokerage or move idle funds for a short-term yield boost. Unlike the usual time-limited free trades, Longbridge’s zero-commission policy is for life (for US and HK markets)—a first in Singapore.

What is LongBridge Cashplus?
Longbridge Cashplus is a cash management feature that invests your idle funds into Money Market Funds (MMFs). While not principal-guaranteed, these funds are designed with capital preservation in mind, aiming to deliver returns similar to or better than traditional savings accounts.
Currently, Cashplus offers two MMF options:
- Fullerton SGD Cash A (for SGD)
- Fullerton USD Cash A USD Acc (for USD)
These funds invest in high-quality, short-term instruments—such as government and corporate bonds, commercial bills, and fixed deposits—with maturities of 397 days or less.
As of now, the 7-day annualised yield for SGD Cashplus stands at 2.6496%. This makes it a useful place to temporarily park funds while waiting for your target price to hit—once that happens, Longbridge automatically redeems the required amount to execute your trade.
Personally, I’ll be sticking with the SGD Cashplus option to avoid any potential forex risk associated with the USD fund.
Strategy 1: S$2,000 Tier — Maximise Short-Term Yield (Up to 34.6% Annualised ROI)
Deposit S$2,000, subscribe to Longbridge SGD Cashplus for 90 days, and complete 3 buy trades (stocks or ETFs) to unlock the following:
- S$18 cash coupon
- S$30 + S$40 from 6% and 8% interest boost (applies only to first S$2K)
- 0.5 NVIDIA share, currently worth ~S$64
Total value of rewards: ~S$152
Annualised ROI: ~34.6%
This tier is ideal for those with smaller capital but willing to execute a few simple trades to unlock high-percentage returns on parked cash.
Strategy 2: S$10,000 Tier — Stackable Yields + Free Apple Share (14.9% to 17.3% Annualised ROI)
Deposit S$10,000, subscribe to Longbridge SGD Cashplus for 90 days, and complete 5 buy trades (stocks or ETFs) to unlock the following:
- S$18 cash coupon
- S$30 + S$40 from 6% and 8% interest boost (applies only to first S$2K)
- 1 Apple share, currently worth ~S$261
Total value of rewards: ~S$349
Annualised ROI: ~14.75%
While the ROI isn’t as high as the S$2K tier, this offers better absolute returns and could make sense if you’re reallocating funds already sitting in other money market products.
Other FAQs:
What is Defined as Singapore Residents:
- Singapore residents for this purpose is defined as: locals, PRs, those with valid work/employment pass holders (MOM-issued), individuals with a valid Singapore residential address.
When Will You Receive the Rewards:
NVIDIA and Apple stocks:
- This will be awarded as Stock Coupons, accessible in the Longbridge App under Me > My Coupons. Once the requirements are met, the coupon will be issued within 5 working days, and the corresponding stock will be credited to your account within 10 working days after you redeem it. Do note, if the coupon isn’t activated before it expires, the reward will be lost.
Interest Boost Coupon:
- The interest boost coupon(s) will appear in your Longbridge App (Me > My Coupons) within 5 working days after you qualify. This coupon only works with Longbridge Cash Plus, which automatically invests your idle SGD funds in money market funds to earn income. The 90-day interest boost applies to the first S$2,000 you deposit into Cash Plus.. Every 30 days, the bonus interest will be paid out in cash (SGD) to your account within about 3 working days.
Final Thoughts: Worth a Look for Idle Funds
If you’ve got idle funds sitting in a money market fund or are waiting to deploy into the markets, Longbridge’s April promo offers a compelling short-term play—especially at the S$2K level, where the effective return can exceed 30% annualized when you stack the interest boost, stock rewards, and cash coupon.
At the S$10K tier, the ROI is lower (around 14% annualized), but still outpaces what most SGD money market funds currently yield. The added bonus of a free Apple share and lifetime commission-free trades on US and HK markets gives this more long-term utility than your typical sign-up promo.
Personally, I’ll be moving S$10K from my Moomoo SGD Cash Fund to Longbridge for 90 days to capture the full reward stack. I’m also considering shifting my HK equity holdings over after the 90 days, thanks to the zero-commission trading.
This isn’t financial advice—just what I’m doing with funds already earmarked for investment. But if you’re in a similar position, this might be worth a closer look.
