The company
frames the redesign as another step toward becoming a default investing app for
European retail clients.
Stocks Join ETFs in
Savings-Plan Overhaul
Until now,
XTB's Investment Plans let clients set up automated, recurring purchases built
around ETFs. The updated version lets users combine ETFs and single stocks
inside the same plan, which the company said gives investors more room to shape
their own portfolios.
XTB is also
adding ready-made plans that clients can pick by sector or risk profile, a
feature it said targets beginners who do not want to build a portfolio from
scratch.
Recurring-investment
plans are not new to European retail investing. They sit at the core of the
business at Berlin's Trade Republic, whose Sparpläne helped build a customer
base now above 10 million, and at Munich's Scalable Capital, which charges a
€2.99 monthly subscription for its premium tier.
XTB is
matching a familiar product here rather than breaking fresh ground, even as it
describes the launch as setting a new standard for Poland's investment
industry.
Trade
Republic has spent the past year widening its own range, adding bond ETFs in October 2025 on top of its stock and ETF savings
plans, and it walked into Poland in September 2025, XTB's home market. The
competitive lines now run in both directions.
