Is the XTB referral code worth it?

In the UK, the STARTXTB code currently comes with no reward and no bonus educational materials — for now it is purely a partner referral code. So don't pick XTB just to “get something” for entering it.

The real value is in the pricing. XTB charges 0% commission on real stocks and ETFs up to €100,000 of monthly turnover. Depending on how much you trade, that alone can save you tens — even hundreds — of pounds over time compared with brokers that charge a fee on every trade. Above the €100,000 monthly threshold a 0.2% commission applies (minimum £10 / €10).

Rewards tied to the code aren't available in every country yet. If XTB reintroduces them for the UK, we'll update this page straight away.

  2. 02

    Begin opening your account at XTB

    Open XTB.com and choose the “Open an Account” option to kick off the process.

    Heads-up: certain regions only let you register inside the XTB Online Investing App, not via the browser. If that applies to you, download the app from Google Play or the App Store, set it up, and continue from within the app.

  3. 03

    Drop the code into the registration form

    While entering your information, find the line that reads “Do you have a Referral code?” — you'll spot it right beneath the email box.

    1. Click “Add Code” to reveal the entry box.
    2. Paste or type STARTXTB there.
    3. Lock it in by clicking the “Add Code” button once more so it gets applied to your account.

    Can't find it? The whole line is sometimes folded into “Optional fields” — open that section and it'll appear.

    1 Add code
    XTB UK account sign-up form (country United Kingdom) showing the line “Do you have a referral code?” with the green “+ Add code” link
    Click “+ Add code” next to “Do you have a referral code?”.
    2 Enter the code
    XTB UK sign-up form with the Referral code field expanded and STARTXTB entered, highlighted in red, next to the green Apply button
    Type STARTXTB into the “Referral code” field and tap “Apply”.

    If a reward is currently available, you'll see it right after entering and applying the referral code on xtb.com (the Apply button next to the field). You can also skip the browser entirely: download the XTB Online Investing App, install it, and enter the code during sign-up there.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get a financial bonus for using the code?
No. In the UK the STARTXTB code currently carries no direct bonus or rewards — it works purely as a partner referral code. Its value lies in XTB's low fees, not in a sign-up gift.
Is the referral code mandatory?
No. The “Referral code” field is optional and can be left blank. Entering STARTXTB costs you nothing and has no negative impact on your account.
Can I add the code to an existing account?
No. The code can only be entered during the initial registration — it cannot be applied retroactively to an account you already have.
What is the difference between a promo code and a referral code?
XTB uses both terms for the same field. “Referral code” reflects the current registration flow, while “promo code” is the older, more general name. Both point to the same field and function.

Entering the referral code is optional and free, and has no negative impact on your account. Trading financial instruments carries the risk of losing your capital; this page is informational and not investment advice. Always check the current terms directly at XTB.
