Investing & Trading Referral Codes

Investing apps hand new customers a free share or cash bonus to get started — a genuine head start, as long as you treat it as a bonus on money you were going to invest anyway. The standout is InvestEngine, which pays a random £20–£200 cash bonus to both sides on a £100 investment — the biggest cash bonus of the platforms here (and up to £400 on its limited-company Business Account). Freetrade and Trading 212 both give a free share (you deposit a small amount to qualify), and Robinhood offers a free stock plus the UK's cheapest Stocks & Shares ISA.

Capital is at risk — investments can fall as well as rise, and these bonuses usually come with a minimum hold period and a qualifying deposit. If you're investing for the long term in low-cost funds rather than picking stocks, our Low-Cost ETF ISA guide is a better starting point than chasing the biggest sign-up bonus.
