At the beginning of January, XTB launched a “Sign up and get a free stock” promotion. It’s a nice little incentive – kind of like when a bank offers you a 20 € bonus for opening a new account. The stock you receive in your trading account should be worth up to $30, though I’d estimate it’s typically between $25 and $30. You can do whatever you want with it—sell it right away or keep it as part of your portfolio. This bonus is only available to new users who haven’t registered with XTB before, and it requires making a deposit of any amount into your trading account.
Which Stock Will You Get?
📅 UPDATE 1: It appears to be a share of the French insurance company AXA (ticker: CS.FR), currently trading around 28 €. This was confirmed by a new XTB client.
📅 UPDATE 2: Another reader reported receiving a share of Shell (ticker: SHELL.NL), which is also valued at around 28 €.
I tried to get a straight answer from XTB about which stock they’re giving out, but they told me that, due to regulatory reasons, they can’t disclose the specific company in advance. The only thing I managed to confirm is that it’s a European stock and a real share (not a CFD).
Requirements to Qualify
There are basically just two simple conditions you need to meet:
✅ Open a new account
✅ Deposit any amount into your trading account
I went through the terms carefully and didn’t find any hidden catches. The XTB promotion runs until all 10,000 free shares have been claimed. No promo code is needed for this offer – you just have to sign up through the referral link.
🤔 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When Will I Receive My Free Stock?
Newly registered customers will receive their free stock in their trading account within 48 hours after their deposit has been processed.
Why Is XTB Giving Away Free Stocks to New Clients?
This is a limited-time “Free Stock for a Strong Start” promotion by XTB. The goal is to make investing and trading more accessible and popular in the countries where XTB operates, including Poland, Spain, Germany, the Czech Republic, and other countries.
Can I Use This Offer If I Already Have an XTB Account?
No, the free stock offer is only available to new clients who are opening an XTB account for the first time and meet the promotion’s conditions. Unfortunately, existing customers are not eligible for this offer.
Can I Get More Than One Free Stock?
No, each new client can receive only one free stock as part of this bonus.
Do I Have to Hold the Stock for a Certain Period, or Can I Sell It Anytime?
You can sell the stock anytime based on your investment preferences. However, make sure to check the promotion’s terms and conditions for any specific requirements.
Is XTB a Trustworthy Broker?
I personally have a secondary investment account with XTB for long-term investing, and I would never recommend a product or service that I don’t use myself and trust. Compared to European standards, XTB offers slightly higher investor protection – 22,000 €. The broker’s parent company is headquartered in Poland and falls under the supervision of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). In my opinion, this is a huge advantage compared to brokers operating under Cypriot jurisdiction.
