Free share worth up to £100

I opened a stocks and shares ISA recently on Trading 212. So far I think it's a great app - the thing that first attracted me was that there are no platform charges (most of the alternatives charge a % of your investments just to hold them) and no fees for buying and selling, so it's very good value especially for small amounts.

It's a UK company and regulated by the FCA. All the reviews I've seen have been excellent too - seems like a great company. Everything is explained very clearly too.

If you sign up using my referral link, we each get a free share worth up to £100. Most of the free shares are under £25, but there's a 1/5 chance of getting one worth over £25. I got a €10 share in Orange - hoping to be luckier next time!

Last thing - they also offer a CFD account, which is basically gambling on share price movements. I'd definitely avoid that unless you really know what you are doing and stick to sensible investments like shares in established companies and funds. So stick to either the ISA or the standard invest account.

I should have added, the minimum you need to pay in is £1. If you want to sell your free share and just withdraw the money you can do that after 30 days. Or just keep it and see how it does over the longer term.

Thank you. Used your referral for a £22 free share, which I'll probably withdraw after the 30 days. Here is my referral if anyone is interested. https://www.trading212.com/invite/16c2I4ytuh

Brilliant, thank you. You did better than me! I just received €11 worth of Deutsche Bank shares.

Ah well, every little helps!

This is still available. My free share in Orange is up almost 8% already, ironically rather better than most of the shares I chose to invest in. Small dividend due in December as well :)

I do think Trading 212 is an excellent platform for anyone thinking of investing, especially small amounts because of the lack of fees. Plus the free share is a nice bonus.

Decided to sell both of my free shares, so £22 to reinvest into other companies.

I do think it's well worth signing up, whether just for the signup bonus or as a place to think about investing some spare cash over the longer term.

I received just over £10 worth of Disney shares as well. I'm sure some more fortunate people are getting luckier with higher value shares but not me so far!

Reminder that you only need to deposit a minimum of £1 after signing up to qualify for a free share, which you can sell and withdraw after 1 month if you wish. Or just invest some money for potential long term gains.

Only a few days left for this now. Sign up process is pretty straightforward.

It does require you to verify your identity after signing up. As far as I remember it was fairly straightforward though.
