About This Offer
Trading 212 is giving both the referrer and the new customer a free fractional share worth between €8 and €100 when you open an account via a referral link. The share is randomly assigned, so most people should expect the lower end more often than the top prize.
This is a referral programme - you need a referral link from an existing Trading 212 user to claim your free share. If you don't have one, many are shared publicly on sites like Reddit's r/beermoneyuk.
What is Trading 212?
Trading 212 is an FCA-regulated investment platform popular in the UK for commission-free stock and ETF trading. Key features:
- Commission-free trading - no fees on buying or selling stocks and ETFs
- Stocks & Shares ISA - use your annual ISA allowance with no platform fee
- Fractional shares - invest from as little as £1 in any company
- AutoInvest - set up automated recurring investments
- FCA regulated - Trading 212 UK Ltd is authorised and regulated by the FCA
How the Free Share Works
The free share is randomly selected from a pool of stocks. The current help page says the value is between €8 and €100, and the legal terms note that higher-value shares have a lower probability.
You can sell the share immediately after receiving it, but the cash can only be withdrawn after 30 days from your account.
Is It Worth It?
Yes - opening an account takes around 10 minutes and the minimum deposit is low. Even at the lower end of the range you're still getting a free asset for opening an account you may want to use anyway. If you plan to invest at all, Trading 212's ISA with no platform fee is genuinely competitive.
The campaign ends 28 April 2026, so act promptly.
Important Notes
- You must use a referral link - you cannot claim this by going directly to the Trading 212 website
- Both you and the person who referred you receive a free share - so it is worth sharing your link once you have an account
- The share value is set in EUR, so the GBP equivalent will vary with the exchange rate
- You are capped at 5 free shares per campaign (one per referral, up to five friends)
- This is an investment account - the value of your shares can go down as well as up
