Refer a friend between 15 and 21 April 2025, and you’ll each get two free shares.
The first free share will be worth between £10 and £100, and the bonus one between £5 and £10.
Qualifying referrals will earn two free shares for both the Sender and the Recipient.
Free shares are randomly selected from a list of interesting US and UK companies, ETFs, and trusts. The first free share will be valued up to £100, and the second one will be valued up to £10.
The probability of free shares is weighted, so more expensive shares will be rarer. The below table shows the average probability distribution of free shares.
Once you make a referral, one free share will automatically appear as pending in your account.
Your bonus free share will be awarded by 8 May 2025.
If you haven’t received your bonus free share by 8 May 2025, check that your friend has met the qualifying conditions:
If your friend topped up their account, then withdrew the cash, then, unfortunately, the referral was unsuccessful, and you won’t qualify for a free share.
If your friend has withdrawn, it won’t be reflected on your referral tracking, so check with them that they still qualify.
Remember, as the referrer, you’ll also need at least £50 net funding in your account, too.
You can refer up to 10 friends per month.
Remember, referrals should only be made to family and friends, and links can’t be shared on public social media channels or forums. Breaching this term will result in disqualification from the referral programme.
The entire value of the share when sold may be subject to capital gains tax. You can check the value of each share when issued and/or sold on your portfolio screen.
Tax depends on your personal circumstances and rules can change. If you are unsure about any tax implications, seek advice from a tax professional.
Validity Period:
15 April 2025 to 21 April 2025
Introduction
1. Freetrade Limited’s (“Freetrade”, “we”, “us” or “our”) Easter Free Share Referral Campaign (“Easter Referral Campaign”) is offered subject to these Easter Referral Terms & Conditions (“Easter Referral Terms & Conditions”). By taking any actions under the Easter Referral Campaign, you agree to be bound by these Easter Referral Terms & Conditions. These Easter Referral Terms & Conditions are governed by English law.
2. Under the Easter Referral Campaign, a free share (a “Free Share”) and a bonus share (a “Bonus Share”) will be awarded to each of a relevant Referrer and Recipient who have together successfully completed a Valid Referral in accordance with these Easter Referral Terms & Conditions. In these Easter Referral Terms & Conditions, the award of the Free Share and the Bonus Share is referred to as the Award (“Award”).
3. The Easter Referral Campaign will be valid for the Validity Period unless we extend that period. We may withdraw or amend these Easter Referral Terms & Conditions to the extent that the withdrawal or amendment is not to your detriment, by updating them on our website.
4. Any Freetrade account (“Freetrade Account”) will be subject to Freetrade’s Terms and Conditions which can be found here.
Making a Valid Referral
5. A “Valid Referral” occurs when all of the steps in (a)-(c) below have been completed:
(a) the Referrer sends the referral link provided by us (“Referral Link”) via the Freetrade app to a Recipient during the Validity Period;
(b) the Recipient uses the Referral Link to successfully sign up to a Freetrade Account; and
(c) the Recipient provides us with the Referrer’s email address when prompted to do so.
6. A referral which has met the criteria at 5(a)-(c) above ceases to be a Valid Referral if the Referrer or the Recipient stops meeting any of the relevant eligibility criteria set out at section 9 or section 11 below before the date of the Award.
7. Referrals and sharing of Referral Links must not be made through public communications. For example, Referral Links must not be shared on public social media platforms or forums such as posting on Instagram, Tik Tok, Reddit and YouTube (with the exception of the direct messaging services). You must comply with the terms and policies of any website or application where a Referral Link is shared. Referral Links may only be used in connection with the Easter Referral Campaign and for no other purpose whatsoever.
How a Referrer qualifies for an Award
8. In order to qualify for an Award, a person making a referral (a “Referrer”) must:
(a) meet the eligibility criteria in section 9; and
(b) have made a Valid Referral to a Recipient who meets the eligibility criteria in section 11.
9. The Referrer’s eligibility criteria are that they:
(a) are an existing customer of Freetrade;
(b) have passed all of our onboarding checks;
(c) are a UK tax resident;
(d) have completed a W-8BEN form;
(e) have a tradable value of not less than £50 in their Freetrade account(s) in aggregate from no later than 29 April 2025 at 23:59, and they have not thereafter made a transfer or withdrawal that causes the tradable value to fall below £50 before the date of the Award; and
(f) would receive no more than ten (10) free shares in the calendar month in which the Recipient completes the Valid Referral steps at section 5(b) and (c), including awards under any other Freetrade campaign.
How a Recipient qualifies for an Award
10. In order to qualify for an Award, a person receiving a referral (a “Recipient”) must:
(a) meet the eligibility criteria in section 11; and
(b) have received and completed a Valid Referral from a Referrer who meets the eligibility criteria in section 9.

Value of the Award
12. At the time of the Award under these Easter Referral Terms & Conditions, each Free Share will have a value of between £10 (GBP) and £100 (GBP) and each Bonus Share will have a value of between £5 (GBP) and £10 (GBP).
13. The value of a Free Share or a Bonus Share means its approximate market value based on the price of the financial instrument at the time of the Award. The Referrer and the Recipient acknowledge that the value of a Free Share and a Bonus Share may go up or down over time.
14. Each Free Share and each Bonus Share is a financial instrument which is picked randomly by us from a pool of instruments.
15. The pool of Free Shares is weighted so that more expensive shares will be rarer. The below table shows the approximate distribution of free shares.
The Bonus Share is selected at random from the shares that we offer and which are worth between £5 and £10.
Making the Award
16. Each Free Share and the Bonus Share award will be made to the relevant GIA Freetrade Account. We will use our best endeavours to award the Free Share seven (7) to ten (10) days after the Recipient and Referrer first qualify for an Award under section 8, 9, 10 and 11 provided that the relevant Recipient and Referrer still meet the criteria in section 8, 9, 10 and 11 on the date of the Award. The Bonus Share will be awarded to the Recipient and Referrer by 8 May 2025. If the Award has not been made within this timeframe, you should email freeshare@freetrade.io.
17. You may refer up to ten (10) friends under this Easter Referral Campaign.
18. We may refuse to make an Award if we reasonably consider that the Referrer and/or the Recipient have engaged in activity we deem to be abusive, fraudulent, or in violation of these Easter Referral Terms & Conditions.
19. If a Seller or a Recipient seeks to transfer out the Free Share or Bonus Share or any cash proceeds received as a result of the sale of the Free Share and/or the Bonus Share within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days from the date of the Award then we may clawback, sell or cancel any relevant Free Share and/or Bonus Share awarded to that person or sell any other shares held by us for that person and/or deduct cash from their Freetrade account of an equivalent value to the Free Share/Bonus Share, as permitted under applicable law.
Tax implications
20. Freetrade does not give tax advice or take account of your individual tax position. You are responsible for understanding your own tax position in relation to your Freetrade Account(s) and the Award.

21. Neither the making of an Award nor any of our communications in connection with the Easter Referral Campaign constitute a recommendation by us to buy, sell, exercise any rights in or hold any financial instrument. Under no circumstances does Freetrade provide investment advice and individual investors should make their own decisions on what investments are right for them or seek independent advice.
