Matador App Referral Bonus: Status Update

Matador App Referral Bonus: Status Update (2026)

Matador launched around 2018 as a “social” stock trading app — commission-free trades, plus a social feed where you could see what stocks your friends were buying and cheer each other on, similar to how Venmo shows payment activity between friends instead of the amounts. The referral deal was straightforward: sign up through a friend’s link, both of you got $20.

We checked matadorapp.com directly and it no longer resolves at all — not a parked page, not an error page, just no DNS record. We also searched both the Apple App Store and Google Play for the app by name and by description and turned up nothing. Two independent signs of a dead program is our bar for calling something discontinued, and Matador clears it. Our old Matador referral link is left up as a historical record; we wouldn’t expect it to work anymore.

If the appeal of Matador was the social angle — seeing what other investors are buying — Public is the closest live app we cover, and it’s built around the same idea: a social investing feed alongside commission-free stock and ETF trades. See our Public referral code writeup for the current signup bonus and terms; we verify that link and code separately from this page, so check there for the latest number rather than assuming it matches Matador’s old $20.
