About XTB

XTB is a global, publicly traded financial technology company providing an online platform for investing and trading. Founded in 2002 in Warsaw, Poland, by Jakub Zabłocki, the firm began as X-Trade and has since grown into a multi-market broker. The company received its brokerage license from the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) in 2005 and began its international expansion in 2007. It rebranded to XTB Online Trading in 2009 and went public with a listing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in May 2016. The company serves self-directed retail investors and traders across Europe and other international markets. XTB's business model combines agency and market-maker features, generating revenue primarily from spreads on transactions, with commissions and market-making activities also contributing. While a significant portion of its revenue comes from Contracts for Difference (CFDs), the company has expanded its offerings to attract a broader client base. XTB provides access to over 10,000 financial instruments through its proprietary platform, xStation 5, which is available on web, desktop, and mobile devices. The platform offers trading in real stocks and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) with a 0% commission model up to a certain monthly turnover, after which a small commission applies. Its core offering includes leveraged CFDs on a wide range of assets, including forex, stock indices, commodities, stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. The xStation platform is known for its user-friendly design, advanced charting tools, and integrated market analysis features, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced traders. Regulated by multiple top-tier authorities, including the KNF, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), XTB operates in more than 13 countries. The company has grown to serve over 2.16 million clients globally by the end of 2025.
