Partner signup code
STARTXTB
Worldwide where XTB operates
XTB's verified partner signup code — clean attribution to a top EU-regulated broker. No surcharge, identical trading conditions to a direct signup.
Entered during mobile-app signup via the green "Add code" link
No cash reward attached — pure partner attribution
Compatible with any country-specific XTB campaign that may run at signup time
Risk notice. A signup code is a tracking tag, not a guarantee of a reward. Any country-specific perk tied to a code is subject to the broker's published T&Cs and can be changed or ended at any time. Trading is high-risk and your capital is at stake — codes don't change that.
What a broker promo code actually is
A broker signup code is a short string — usually 6 to 12 characters, all caps — that you paste into the registration form when you open a new live account. Behind the scenes it does one of two jobs, and sometimes both:
Partner attribution. The code tells the broker which affiliate or referral source sent you. Your account terms are identical to a direct signup — same spread, same commission, same platform access. The only thing that changes is who gets credited internally.
Promo activation. Some codes are tied to a country-specific campaign — a free share, a deposit reward, an extra educational course. In that case the code itself is rarely enough; the active promo usually requires registering via a specific referral link, with the code acting as the back-up attribution tag.
What a broker code is not: a discount on commissions, a cashback on trades, a way to bypass KYC, or a permanent fee reduction. If something promises any of those, it's not a real broker code — it's marketing for an unregulated platform, and it deserves the scepticism that implies.
Where the code goes in the signup form
Different brokers, different placement. The two most common patterns:
Inline field on the registration page labelled "Referral code", "Partner code" or "Promo code". Always visible.
Hidden behind an "Add code" link below the email field — common on mobile-first onboarding flows (XTB, for example). You have to tap the link to reveal the input.
If you can't find the code field, that's usually a clue that the broker has shifted attribution entirely to the referral link — in which case clicking through the right link is what matters, not typing the code afterwards.
How to use a code without getting burned
Three things worth doing before you paste any code:
Confirm the broker is regulated where you live. A free reward from an unlicensed broker is worth less than nothing — there's no investor compensation scheme if anything goes wrong. We only list codes for brokers regulated by FCA, CySEC, BaFin, KNF or comparable authorities.
Read what the code actually unlocks. "STARTXTB" is a clean partner attribution tag, full stop. It doesn't make the broker pay you anything by itself. That's not a problem — but it's worth knowing before you go in expecting a cash reward that doesn't exist.
Use the broker's own signup flow. If a third party asks you to send them ID documents or money "on behalf of the broker" to claim a code, that's fraud. Real codes are typed directly into the broker's app or website, full stop.
If you're comparing rewards more broadly: free-share offers bundle the reward into the campaign itself, and cash-interest deals pay ongoing yield rather than a one-off perk.
Our methodology
Every code on this page is manually tested in a real signup flow before it's listed — we open the broker's app or site, walk through the registration screen, paste the code, and confirm it's accepted. Country eligibility is checked against the broker's regulated entity (XTB Ltd serves UK clients, XTB S.A. serves EU clients, etc.) and against the broker's current public terms — not against a cached version on a comparison site.
Affiliate links fund the site — the "Use the code" button is tagged as such — but they don't change which codes appear or how they're described. If a code stops working, we remove or update it the same day. More on our verification process on the methodology page.
FAQ
What does a broker promo code actually do?
Most broker codes are partner-attribution tags — they mark which affiliate or referral source sent you to the broker, without changing your account terms. Some codes additionally unlock country-specific perks (a free share, a deposit reward, an extra course) when combined with the right referral link.
Will entering a promo code cost me anything?
No. A legitimate broker signup code never adds fees, widens spreads, or downgrades your account in any way. Your commissions, spreads and platform access are identical to a direct signup. If a code claims to give you a discount on a regulated broker's fees, treat that as a red flag.
Do promo codes work for existing accounts?
Almost never. Broker codes are tied to new account creation and have to be entered during signup, before the account is opened. Existing customers can't retroactively attach a code to their account, and "close and reopen" usually doesn't reset eligibility either — brokers track this by ID and address.
Where do I type the code during signup?
On most brokers' registration form there's a field labelled "Referral code", "Partner code" or "Promo code" — sometimes hidden behind an "Add code" or "Have a code?" link below the email field. Paste the code there before you finish the account setup.
Is the code the same as a referral link?
Not quite. The code is a string you type into the signup form. A referral link is a URL that already carries attribution in its query string, so just clicking through is enough. For some country-specific rewards (e.g. a free share), the referral link is what unlocks the reward — the code alone doesn't.
What's a fair expectation for what a code unlocks?
Cleanly tracked attribution to a regulated broker — and, if the broker happens to run a campaign in your country at signup time, eligibility for that campaign. Codes don't reduce spreads, don't give cashback on trades, and don't override KYC.
