How to Get a Free Share (Stock) in 2026 — Step by Step

Want a free share without the runaround? Trading 212’s referral offer is simple: click the link below, open an account, deposit funds, get a free share (random value up to £100). Signup without a deposit does not unlock it.

The 3 steps (that’s it)

1) Click the claim button in the box above (referral / invite link — required).

2) Sign up and verify your ID.

3) Deposit funds. When the deposit clears, your free share should appear in the app.

Bonus value is random — often around £8–£25 in UK/EU campaigns, with a max up to £100. Not a guaranteed ticker or payout.

Do I have to deposit?

Yes. An empty account does not get the free share. Brokers pay the bonus for funded customers.

Deposit only what you’re comfortable investing — markets go down as well as up. Capital is at risk.

Who can claim it?

Usually UK/EU and other Trading 212-supported regions. U.S. residents typically can’t use this path.

New customers only in most campaigns — existing accounts or prior claims are often excluded. Check the in-app T&Cs.

Why didn’t I get mine?

No referral link, no deposit (or below the minimum), wrong country, already claimed, or deposit still pending. Fix those and check Rewards / Promotions in the app.

Educational opinion only — not financial, investment, or tax advice. Investing involves risk of loss. Ticker prices and company facts change; verify with official filings and your own research. Referral links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Trading 212: free share up to £100 — just sign up and deposit (random value; T&Cs apply).
