  • Have £100 invested on 15/01/2018 according to the Order History (Global Balanced Fund). How long before the bonus materialises?

    Same here. Will look out for it tomorrow.

    If it's not there tomorrow morning I would online chat to them and ask what's going on.

    I opened a GIA a few days ago, paid in £100, and transferred it to one of the funds. I asked Orbis via webchat when I would get the bonus £100, and they replied that it would be applied to the account shortly after the closing date for the offer (22nd Jan 18).

    From my messages:

    Please note that we will be processing matching funds at the end of the offer period, so you should expect to see the amount reflected in your account by the end of January.

    PS messaging system has been great so far.

    I did the same, a day or two after the offer closes is what I was told.

    Thanks, based on what others said in this thread I assumed they had got their bonus already. Must have misunderstood.

    We have received our bonuses from the current offer period but maybe they are batching up the last bonuses to do them in one go. See that's proof I don't work for Orbis - I didn't know that!

    As long as the online chat person confirms your bonus is being processed then you are almost certainly fine. I can't see them wanting to attract customers only to immediately upset them.
