Bank Hapoalim announces a new initiative aimed at attracting young customers and students: A comprehensive benefits package that includes a full refund of securities trading fees in Israel and abroad. The benefit is intended for existing and new customers aged 18 to 35, as well as for students who are members of the bank’s student club.
According to the bank’s announcement, young customers and students who conduct digital trading operations on the Hapoalim website or on the capital market app — mainly purchase and sale fees (excluding options), broker fees, and securities deposit management fees — will receive a full refund for all fees charged. The benefit will apply to activity carried out from July 2025 until the end of the year.
New customers who join Bank Hapoalim will receive fee refunds from the end of November 2025 until the end of June 2026.
The refund will be issued automatically and without the need to contact the bank, up to a cap of NIS 2,000 per quarter. In December 2025, the first refund will be issued to eligible customers for activity conducted from July to November 2025. In January 2026, fees for December activity will be refunded, and from February onward refunds will be issued monthly — through July 2026 for June activity.
The bank emphasizes that eligible customers will be able to enjoy the benefits through the bank’s digital trading platforms — the capital market website and the dedicated app. It is also noted that the retroactive refund for previous activity is included in the easing framework set by the Bank of Israel in the fourth quarter.
Yadin Antebi, CEO of Bank Hapoalim: “In recent years, the banking system has lost part of its young customers who trade in the capital market and have moved to trade through other platforms. The initiative we are announcing today is our way of bringing them back to trade through Bank Hapoalim. We will continue to initiate unique and innovative value propositions for our customers.”
