Sponsor (“Kraken”)
Payward Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 1209 Orange St., Wilmington, DE 19801, is the sponsor to this promotion and not a member of FINRA/SIPC. Securities transferred via ACAT are transferred into Kraken Securities, LLC, a member of FINRA/ SIPC. All bonuses for eligible transfers are deemed earned, due and payable as of April 1, 2026.
Eligible Areas
United States only, excluding New York and Maine.
Promotion Period
12:00 AM EST on February 12, 2026, to 11:59 PM EST on March 31, 2026.
How to Participate
Participants must complete the following steps during the Promotion Period:
A. Be an existing or new Kraken client located in the United States (excluding NY and ME).
B. Open and be approved for a Kraken Securities account through Kraken.
C. Request and complete an ACATS transfer of $5,000 or more in eligible assets into their Kraken Securities account during the Promotion Period. This can be achieved through a single transfer or by completing multiple transfers that add up to $5,000 or more.
D. Ensuring participation in Fully Paid Stock Lending is turned on and remains on during the Promotion Period.
Participants who meet the above criteria will receive a transfer bonus in USDG, calculated as a percentage of the total ACATS transfer amount, as described under "Bonus" below.
Each participant may request multiple ACAT transfers during the Promotion Period; each transfer eligible request of $5,000 or more in assets will be counted toward the total transferred value. Transfers must be initiated between February 12, 2026, and March 31, 2026.
Determination of Bonuses
Rewards will be calculated after the Promotion Period ends, at such time they are then considered earned, due and payable. Eligible users who have successfully transferred $5,000 or more in total eligible equities into Kraken via ACATS will receive a transfer bonus in USDG.
The bonus percentage will depend on the user's subscription status:
2% for Kraken+ subscribers
1% for non-subscribers
Bonuses are calculated based on the total amount of assets transferred via eligible ACATS during the Promotion Period, minus any withdrawals.\
Rewards are offered and paid by Payward Interactive Inc., which is not a FINRA/SIPC member firm and not FDIC insured. The transfer bonus is not earned and shall not be deemed payable until after the end of the Promotion Period when qualification is determined. USDG will be distributed to eligible users on or after April 1, 2026, and must be held on the Kraken platform for one (1) year before becoming eligible for withdrawal.
At the conclusion of the one-year hold period, the credited bonus amount will become withdrawable only if the user's net transfer balance of eligible equities remains equal to or greater than the transferred amount used to calculate the original bonus. Kraken+ subscribers rewarded with a 2% bonus must remain subscribed for the duration of the hold period for the hold to be lifted.
For individual transfers valued at $1,000 or greater, Kraken Securities will also reimburse sender ACATS fees incurred during the transfer process. This reimbursement is separate from the transfer bonus and will be issued independently.
Bonus
Each eligible participant may receive a bonus in the form of USDG, depending on their Kraken+ subscription status and total amount transferred. There is no maximum cap on rewards. Example calculations:
A Kraken+ user transferring $10,000 in eligible equities may receive $200 in USDG.
A non-subscriber transferring $10,000 may receive $100 in USDG.
Rewards will be distributed to the participant’s Kraken account by April 15, 2026.
