As part of a current promotion, XTB is offering up to 6% AER interest on uninvested GBP balances held within an ISA, helping new clients earn a competitive return even while their cash is waiting to be invested. New clients can also receive a free share when opening an account, adding an extra incentive to get started. Please see T&Cs here.
In an increasingly competitive ISA market, with platforms such as Trading 212, Plum, eToro, and Moneybox offering their own solutions, XTB stands out by combining several key benefits in one place. The ability to earn interest on cash balances, invest in stocks and ETFs with commission-free trading up to 100k EUR, and take advantage of promotional offers makes XTB a compelling choice for UK investors looking to make the most of their ISA allowance.
Interest on Funds
One standout feature of the XTB ISA is the promotional interest rate on uninvested cash balances. New investors can earn up to 6% AER for the first 90 days on new ISA accounts opened between 1 March and 30 April 2026.
- Standard variable rate: 4% AER
- Promotional boost: +2%
- Total promotional rate: 6% AER
Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly, allowing ISA holders to earn a return on cash that has not yet been invested. After the promotional period, balances continue to earn the standard rate of 4% AER.
Tax-Efficient Investing with an ISA
Like all ISAs in the UK, XTB’s ISA structure provides valuable tax benefits:
- Tax-free capital gains
- Tax-free dividend income
- No tax on interest earned
UK investors can contribute up to £20,000 per tax year across their ISA accounts. By combining this tax-efficient wrapper with interest on uninvested cash, XTB enables investors to earn returns while planning their investment allocations.
Commission-Free Investing with XTB
XTB’s Stocks & Shares ISA provides access to thousands of global markets, helping investors grow their portfolios without high fees. Key features include:
- 0% commission on stocks and ETFs within a monthly trading volume of €100,000
- No account opening fees
- No maintenance fees
- Access to 8,500+ global stocks and ETFs
This structure reduces costs compared to traditional brokerage platforms that charge per-trade fees, making XTB a strong contender for commission-free ISA investing.
Free Share Promotion for New Clients
New ISA clients can receive a free share upon opening an account and making a deposit. Eligible investors can choose from a selection of five available stocks, adding an immediate incentive to start investing with XTB.
How XTB Compares with Other ISA Platforms
The UK ISA market includes several popular platforms, including Trading 212, Plum, Etoro, and Moneybox. While traditional brokers may charge platform or trading fees, fintech platforms like XTB focus on lower costs, app-based investing, and flexible options.

- Commission-free trading on global markets

This makes it appealing for investors holding cash before allocating funds or seeking a flexible and cost-efficient ISA.
