XTB Referral Code "IITW" (active promo code in 2026)
Opening an XTB account and wondering what the "Referral Code" field is for? "IITW" is the EU Personal Finance referral code. It's an attribution tag, not a universal free-share unlock — what it actually does depends on the country you're signing up from.
This guide explains exactly when entering IITW gets you a free share, when it doesn't, and how XTB's country-specific promotions work.
What exactly is the XTB referral code?
The referral code is a single field XTB shows during account registration. Entering IITW credits EU Personal Finance for your sign-up and may unlock additional educational content (webinars, courses, ebooks) we share outside the platform.
The important nuance: the referral code is separate from XTB's country-specific free-share promotions. Some countries run a "free share for new clients" campaign that is unlocked by a local promo code (which may or may not be IITW). Whether you get a free share depends on which country's campaign you enter through, not just on the referral code itself.
Does "IITW" give me a free XTB share?
It depends on where you're signing up:
- Countries with a market-wide free-share campaign open to all new clients — for example Portugal from 3 June 2026 (see our Portuguese-language guide). Following the local sign-up flow and entering IITW gets you the share and credits EU Personal Finance.
- Countries where the free share is tied to a specific local code — UK, Germany, France, Czech Republic and Slovakia at the time of writing. In these markets the local promo code (not IITW) is what unlocks the free share. You can still enter IITW for attribution, but it won't deliver the share on its own.
- Countries with no free-share campaign currently active — Poland and Romania at the time of writing. There's no share to claim here, regardless of which code you enter.
To check what's live in your country, open this affiliate geolink. It auto-redirects to your local XTB promo page (or to the standard account-opening page if no campaign is active).

Where do I paste the XTB promo code?
- Open the XTB sign-up flow via our affiliate link — it lands you on the correct country page.
- Fill in the basic fields: email, password and country of residence.
- Choose your preferred language for customer support.
- Find the field labelled "Referral Code (optional)" and enter IITW.
That's it. The code is applied at account creation — XTB does not let you add or change it after registration, so don't skip this step if you're chasing a campaign that requires a code.
What changes if I skip the code?
Your trading conditions, platform access and account limits are identical whether you enter IITW or not. The only thing you'd miss in most countries is partner-provided educational content. If you're signing up specifically for a free-share promotion, check the local campaign terms — in countries where the free share is tied to a specific code (UK, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia), missing the right code at registration usually means missing the share entirely.
Does the XTB referral code expire?
IITW as an attribution tag has no fixed expiry, but XTB can change or end any campaign without notice. Country-specific free-share promotions are typically time-windowed and capped at a number of shares (first-come, first-served). If a campaign is live in your country, don't wait.
Quick summary: what does "IITW" unlock?
What IITW does in every country:
- Credits EU Personal Finance for your XTB sign-up
- Costs you nothing
- May unlock partner educational content outside the platform
- Does not change your trading conditions, fees or platform features
What IITW does not do:
- Override country-specific promo codes (UK, Germany, France, Czech Republic and Slovakia have their own free-share codes)
- Create a free-share offer where none is live (Poland and Romania have no active campaign at the time of writing)
Before signing up, check the live promotion for your country via the XTB geolink.
Conclusion
IITW is the EU Personal Finance referral code — an attribution tag that costs nothing to use and supports our work. It is not a universal unlock for XTB's free-share campaigns: those are country-specific, sometimes tied to local codes, and sometimes don't exist at all. Use the geolink to check what's available where you live, then enter IITW during sign-up to credit us.
