XTB free stock 2026: How to get a free share

XTB runs free-share campaigns across Europe, but what you get — and whether the campaign is even live — depends on the country you sign up from. In this guide we walk through how XTB's free-stock offers work, where they're currently active, and how to check what's available in your country before opening an account.

Here's what you'll find below:

• How XTB's free-stock campaigns work
• Which countries currently have an offer (with examples)
• How to claim a free share step by step
• What the IITW promo code actually does

What is XTB's free stock promotion?

XTB regularly launches "Free Stock" campaigns where a new client who opens an account and makes a first deposit receives a share credited directly to their portfolio. The catch: the campaign isn't uniform across Europe. The share you get, its value, the eligible deposit amount and whether an offer exists at all change from country to country.

The simplest way to see what's live in your jurisdiction is this affiliate link: https://geolink.xtb.com/ruA2A. It auto-redirects to your local XTB landing page so you can see the current promotion (or absence of one) for your country.

Country examples (as of 2026)

• Portugal: from 3 June 2026, XTB is offering a free Portuguese stock to new clients who make a deposit. We cover the local conditions in our Portuguese guide: XTB ação grátis.
• UK, Germany, France, Czech Republic and Slovakia: XTB runs free-share promotions here too, but they're tied to country-specific promo codes (different from IITW). If you live in one of these markets and your goal is the free share, follow the local promotion link — IITW will not unlock the free stock in these countries.
• Poland and Romania: no free-stock offer is currently active for new clients.
• Other EU countries: check the geolink above — XTB rotates campaigns frequently and offers can appear (or disappear) without notice.

Standard conditions across most campaigns

• One free share per new eligible client
• Account opening + first deposit (minimum amount varies by country)
• The free share is credited within a few business days after the deposit settles
• Campaigns are time-limited and capped — first-come, first-served

How to claim the free XTB share (step by step)

1. Open the country-specific link via our affiliate geolink — it routes you to your local XTB campaign page.
2. Open an account and accept the campaign terms shown for your country.
3. Complete identity verification.
4. Make your first deposit (the eligible amount is shown on the local promo page).
5. Wait for the confirmation email — your free share lands in your portfolio within a few business days.

What does the IITW promo code unlock?

IITW is the EU Personal Finance referral code. It's an attribution tag, not a universal free-share unlock. Entering it tells XTB you came to them through us — which directly supports the work we do — but the free share itself depends on which country-specific campaign you're entering through.

• In countries with a market-wide promotion open to all new clients (for example Portugal from 3 June 2026), IITW + the campaign sign-up flow gets you the free share and credits us.
• In countries where the free share is tied to a local code (UK, Germany, France, Czech Republic and Slovakia at the time of writing), you'd enter that local code to claim the share. IITW still works as an attribution tag, but won't deliver the share by itself.
• In countries with no live campaign (Poland and Romania at the time of writing), there's no free share to claim, regardless of code.

Either way, entering IITW costs nothing and can unlock extra educational content (courses, webinars, ebooks) we share with XTB referrals outside the platform.

Where should I enter the XTB promo code?

During sign-up:

1. Click "Open account".
2. Fill in your email, password and country of residence.
3. Choose your preferred customer support language.
4. In the field labelled "Referral code (Optional)", type IITW.

What changes if I don't enter the code?

Your trading conditions, platform access and account limits remain the same with or without it. The only thing you may miss is partner-provided educational content. In countries where IITW is the entry point to the free-share campaign, skipping it could mean missing the share — so always check the local terms before signing up.

Does the XTB promo code have an expiry date?

IITW itself has no fixed expiry, but XTB can change or end campaigns at any time. Country-specific free-share promotions almost always have a window and a cap on the number of shares available, so don't wait if a campaign is live in your country.

Benefits of opening an account with XTB

Beyond the rotating free-share campaigns, XTB offers:

• 0% commission on stock and ETF investments up to €100,000/month
• Options trading in selected EU countries
• Intuitive proprietary platform (xStation) with free training resources
• Fast and secure deposits and withdrawals
• Customer support available 24/5

Conclusion: is the XTB free stock offer worth it?

If a free-stock campaign is currently live in your country, yes — it's a no-cost way to get exposure to a publicly listed company while you set up your investment account. Check the live campaign for your country first via our XTB geolink, then sign up using IITW to support EU Personal Finance.
