The new “Gift” feature by Trade Republic is designed to make gifting a meaningful experience. Whether you want to introduce a loved one to investing or help someone grow their portfolio, gifting stocks or ETFs is now as simple as a few taps on the app.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use this feature:
Step 1: Access the gift feature
- Open the Trade Republic app and click on your profile avatar.
- Scroll down to find the banner: “Gifts that last.”. Alternatively, go to the Wealth tab, and scroll down to the same banner.
Step 2: Select your gift
- Tap on the “Gifts” section.
- Choose the stock or ETF you want to gift. Popular options include NVIDIA, Apple, or Tesla for stocks. Core MSCI World USD or Core S&P 500 USD for ETFs.
- Set the amount you wish to gift.
We chose the S&P 500:
Step 3: Personalize and send your gift
Once the stock or ETF is selected:
Choose the delivery method:
- Sending via email:
- Add the recipient’s email.
- Choose the date you want the gift sent.
- Add a personal message to accompany the gift.
- Printing it yourself:
- Confirm your email address.
- Add a message for the recipient.
- Download the printable gift voucher.
Confirm the gift: Once confirmed, the recipient will receive an email with details on how to claim the gift.
Step 4: The recipient’s journey
- The recipient must claim and accept the gift. If they already have a Trade Republic account, they log in to accept the gift. If they are new to the platform, they must create an account to claim it.
- After accepting, the gifted stock or ETF will appear in their portfolio.
And that’s it! We’ve tested the feature by sending €50 worth of S&P 500 ETF and, as you can see, it works.
The gifting feature is perfect for:
- Christmas, birthdays, or other celebrations.
- Encouraging financial independence for friends and family.
- Introducing someone to investing in an easy and thoughtful way.
Additional perks in December
Throughout December, participants in the gifting program stand a chance to win up to €10,000 in a special giveaway. By gifting stocks and ETFs, you not only inspire long-term saving but also get a chance to increase your own wealth.
The “Wealthman” campaign
Accompanying this feature is the “Wealthman” campaign, aimed at reshaping how people think about gifts. Unlike traditional gifts, Trade Republic encourages thoughtful investments that create lasting impact—perfectly aligning with the Christmas spirit.
Conclusion
Trade Republic’s new feature is here to revolutionize the way we gift, making it a meaningful and long-lasting experience.
