Pick a free share — new XTB UK clients, 9 March – 30 April 2026

What you get

You pick one real share from a shortlist of five FTSE-listed stocks: Barclays, Rolls-Royce, Tesco, Glencore or BP. It's a spot-equity position credited to your XTB account — not a trading bonus, not a CFD, and not a coupon. Once credited, the share is yours to hold, sell on XTB or receive dividends on, the same as any share you bought yourself.

How to claim — four steps

1. Register via our XTB referral link — use this link. It routes you to XTB's UK promo landing page, which is where the free-share offer is actually attached. Registering on the generic XTB form (even with the STARTXTB code) does not enrol you in the UK promo.
2. Complete onboarding and KYC — identity document + proof of address, plus the standard knowledge-and-experience assessment that FCA-regulated brokers must run.
3. Make your first deposit within 7 days (168 hours) of account opening. XTB's T&Cs for this promo don't set a headline minimum; in practice, any deposit that passes bank-verification qualifies.
4. Consent to the promo T&Cs within 7 days of account opening. Once that's done, the selected share is credited to your account on XTB's standard settlement cycle.

Eligibility

• UK resident for tax purposes
• Opening your first XTB account — no active account with XTB Group in the last 365 days
• Completing full KYC (ID + proof of address)
• Registering via our XTB referral link (the promo landing confirms the offer is live)
• Consenting to the promo T&Cs within 7 days of account opening
• Making a first deposit within 7 days of account opening

Who's excluded

• Residents outside the UK — the offer is restricted to UK residents
• Existing or recent XTB clients (any XTB Group account in the last 365 days)
• Accounts registered on the generic signup form using STARTXTB alone, without our referral link
• Applicants from restricted jurisdictions (USA, Canada, Japan and others per XTB's standard restrictions)

How the UK promo differs from XTB's other country promos

XTB runs different sign-up offers in different markets, and the rules aren't interchangeable:

• Germany gets a single fixed stock (Hugo Boss AG in April 2026) with a 4,000-participant cap and a separate landing page. The UK version has no single stock and no published participant cap.
• Referral-link-only activation. The UK offer is unlocked through the dedicated promo landing — it is not triggered by the STARTXTB code alone. Entering STARTXTB on the generic form will register you as a partner-attributed signup, not a UK-promo participant.
• Five-stock choice. The UK version is the only one where the client picks the stock; most XTB promos in other markets assign a single title.

Share selection — what to think about

The five names on the shortlist are all FTSE-listed UK blue chips with very different profiles. Pragmatically: Tesco is the lowest-volatility name on the list (consumer staples, stable dividend); Rolls-Royce and BP are cyclicals with meaningful news-driven swings; Barclays is a big-bank play tied to UK rates; Glencore is a commodities trader with exposure to metals and energy. None of that is advice — just context. The share price at the moment of crediting is what determines the monetary value of the reward for tax purposes.

Tax

In the UK, a share received as part of a broker promotion can be treated as miscellaneous income at its market value on the date it's credited, and any subsequent gain or loss when you sell it falls under capital gains rules with your annual CGT allowance. The exact treatment depends on your personal circumstances and any changes to HMRC rules — consult a tax professional rather than relying on a broker landing page.

Key parameters at a glance

About the provider

The UK offer is run by XTB Ltd, the London-based subsidiary authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under FRN 522157. XTB Ltd is part of the XTB Group, a Warsaw-listed brokerage (ticker: XTB) overseen by Poland's KNF. Client money protection for UK clients is provided by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 per eligible client; cash held with third-party banks may attract additional deposit-scheme coverage.

When XTB may withhold or end the promo

XTB can withhold the share if it finds breaches of the promo T&Cs, duplicate accounts or a reasonable suspicion of abuse. It can also end the promo early if legal or supervisory circumstances change, or for market reasons that make the offer unworkable; any such change would be announced on XTB's promo page and via email to registered participants.
