What the signup screen actually looks like

On a desktop, without reaching for your phone
The QR code is a shortcut to the app, not the only way in. The referral link opens XTB's own site in your browser and you can start the same registration there — the code goes in at the email step, the same as it does in the app.
I walked the mobile route because that is the one XTB's UK page puts first, so the screenshots below are from the app. Either way the rule does not change: the code has to be entered during signup, and XTB does not attach it to an account afterwards.
For mobile users
- Get the xStation app (XTB Online Investing) onto your phone — either scan the QR code shown on XTB's website, or just type "XTB" into Google Play or the Apple App Store and install it from there.
- Open the app once it's installed, tap Open Account, and pick the country where you live from the list.
- On the registration screen, type in your email address. Underneath the email field you'll see an Add code option — tap it and enter this code:
- Tap Apply to confirm the code so it gets attached to your account.
- Finish filling in the remaining details to complete your signup.
