You can start referring friends as soon as you have verified your identity and made a successful deposit into your Shares account.
Follow these steps to send the referral link to your friends:
Step 1. Open your Profile.
Step 2. From the Profile menu, tap on the Referral option and copy your referral link.
Step 3. Wait for your friend to sign up, get verified and make a deposit. Keep in mind that your friend must deposit within 7 of their identity verification for you both to get rewarded. You can help them get rewarded on time by sharing the How to get a bonus after being referred to Shares? Article.
FAQs
What will my friend get if they register through my link?
After completing their first deposit within 7 days of the identity verification, they will receive 5 free trades to invest in stocks, ETFs, and crypto (max free crypto order is €250). This means that when placing their first 5 trades in our app, they will not pay any trading fees for their execution.
When will I see my bonus on the account?
Your bonus will be available in your Shares account within less than 24 hours from your referee completing the required steps.
Where can I see how many free trades I have left?
When you place a buy or sell order, on the Order review screen, there will be a "Free trades" line that shows how many free trades you have left (for example: Free trades: 3/5 , it means that you still have 3 free trades left).
Why don’t I see an option to refer a friend?
You can only refer your friends when you have finished the onboarding process. This involves having a verified account (passing all verification procedures) and making at least one successful deposit into your Shares account.
If you’ve completed all the steps and still don’t see the Referral button in your Profile menu, contact our in-app chat support team and we will help you out.
Can I invite friends from outside of France to get a referral bonus?
No. The referral program is currently only available to our French users.
How many friends can I invite?
You will receive the bonus for the first five successfully referred friends. Once that amount is reached, you can still invite friends, but you will no longer be eligible for the bonus.
Can I see the list of people I’ve referred to Shares?
Yes. Tap on the Referral option in your Profile menu to get to the referral program, then tap on the “My invitees” button at the top right corner. This will show you all the people who have already signed up to Shares via your link, as well as their status i.e. whether they have successfully onboarded to Shares.
Why don't I see my friend on the list of my invitees?
There can be multiple reasons:
Your friend received the referral link but hasn’t signed up to Shares yet.
Your friend has created an account in Shares, but not by following your link. It’s critical that your invitee taps on your link while being on a mobile phone and downloads the app straight away.
Your friend has not made a deposit within 7 days from their identity verification.
If you believe that your friend has completed all the necessary steps, contact our support team and we will investigate the case.
