The GM share, valued at around USD 50, is part of XTB’s push in the MENA region.
XTB previously launched a zero-commission stocks and shares account for UK investors.
XTB has introduced a new promotional offer for first-time
investors in the MENA region. The company is offering a free General Motors
(GM) share to every new client who opens and funds an account through its
investment app.

The latest promotion runs until the end of 2025. It does not
require a minimum deposit. Clients become eligible for the offer once they
register and add funds to their accounts.
The GM share currently holds a market value of approximately
USD 50. The offer aims to lower the entry barrier for people interested in
stock investing.
Achraf Drid, Managing Director and Senior Executive Officer
at XTB MENA, said the promotion aligns with growing demand for stock investing
in the region.
“With this promotion, and amid the increasing interest in
stock investing in the MENA region, we’re giving new clients not just a free
stock of a legendary company, but a chance to begin their investment journey
with an exciting asset and a taste of real investing,” Drid commented.
The campaign is for attracting retail investors. The
company’s platform includes over 6,300 instruments, such as stocks, ETFs, and
contracts for difference (CFDs). XTB also offers educational tools through its
app. The offer is limited to new users and is being positioned as a regional
first.
