## What you get

A **real fractional share** allocated to your Trading 212 Invest or Stocks & Shares ISA account. You own it outright — keep it, sell it for cash at the next market open, or reinvest the proceeds. The value is randomly assigned from a weighted pool (most users £10–£25; £100 shares are rare).

## How to claim

1. Open the referral link **https://www.trading212.com/invite/199hgcGkyP** on your phone or laptop.
2. Create a new account — choose **Invest** or **Stocks & Shares ISA** (both qualify).
3. Verify your UK identity in-app (passport or driving licence + video selfie).
4. Within 10 calendar days, deposit at least £1 via debit card or instant UK bank transfer.
5. Free fractional share is allocated within 3 business days. Hold, sell or reinvest.

## Pro tip — use the ISA wrapper

Choose the **Stocks & Shares ISA** at sign-up if you haven't used your 2025/26 ISA allowance. The free share is allocated into whichever account you open, and growth/dividends inside the ISA are tax-free for life. You can open both Invest and ISA in parallel.

## Eligibility

- UK resident aged 18+
- Brand-new Trading 212 customer (no prior Trading 212 account)
- Must sign up **via a referral link**, not a direct install
- Must pass FCA-mandated identity verification
- Must deposit ≥£1 within 10 calendar days of registration
