Smartbroker+ Promo: Claim a €20 McDonald's Share
Smartbroker+ gives new customers a McDonald's share worth €20. An overview of the conditions, the process and the pitfalls of my promotion.
Table of contents
I currently have my own promotion running with Smartbroker+: if you open an account there as a new customer, you get a share of McDonald's stock (WKN: 856958) worth €20 for free. In this article I go step by step through how the promotion works, what you absolutely have to watch out for, and what else Smartbroker+ has to offer as a broker.
As always, the most important note up front: this is not investment advice and not a buy recommendation, but the presentation of my own partner promotion. I'm responsible for my money, you're responsible for yours – read through the participation conditions on the promotion page yourself before you start.
The promotion at a glance
Via my Smartbroker+ link* you get, as a new customer:
- a €20 McDonald's share (WKN: 856958) for free
- stocks, funds and ETFs tradable from €0 (from €500 order volume via gettex, plus market-standard spreads, inducements and product costs)
- real cryptocurrencies tradable from a 0.9% spread
- a real instant-access savings account, paying the ECB deposit rate minus 0.25% p.a. (up to €100,000, paid out quarterly, condition: at least three securities transactions per quarter)
Important: what you absolutely have to watch out for
The participation conditions are stricter in a few places than you might first think – it's worth knowing beforehand so you don't miss the share due to a small formal error:
- The Smartbroker+ app must not have been installed before. If you had already downloaded the app from the App Store or Play Store before clicking my promotion link, your participation doesn't count.
- Account and download must run via my official link. Only if both the app download and the account opening happen via the promotion link can your participation be attributed correctly. You can then complete the actual onboarding (including identification) quite normally in the app.
- One bonus per person, non-transferable. If you've ever had an account at Smartbroker+, the reward doesn't apply.
- Smartbroker+ can change or end the promotion at any time without prior notice in the event of misuse or for good cause – so it's best to look at the participation conditions on the promotion page again right before signing up.
How to secure the share
1. Start via my link Click my Smartbroker+ promotion link* and download the app through it (if you don't already have it), or open your account directly via the promotion page.
2. Open the account & identify Complete the onboarding including identification in full – either directly on the promotion page or afterwards in the app.
3. Wait for confirmation Once your account is fully opened (incl. successful identification), you'll receive a participation confirmation by email.
4. The share is credited The McDonald's share is credited after the account is opened – at the latest six weeks afterwards. Important: your account must still exist at that point. If you close it earlier, the claim to the reward lapses.
What else Smartbroker+ offers
Besides the promotion, Smartbroker+ is also worth a look as a broker in its own right. The entire order processing runs through German institutions, order fees start at €0, plus there's a modern app and web platform and personally reachable support.
Concretely tradable are:
- Over 40,000 stocks on 30 exchanges (including gettex, L&S Exchange, Nasdaq and NYSE), from €0 per trade
- More than 2,500 ETFs, including from Amundi, SPDR and Xtrackers, from €0
- Over 4,600 savings plans on stocks, ETFs or funds, from €0 order fee
- Bonds from €0 order fee
- More than 18,000 funds without a front-end load on a one-off purchase
- Derivatives (warrants, certificates, knock-outs) from Morgan Stanley, UBS, Vontobel and Unicredit, among others
- 23 of the best-known cryptocurrencies, directly in the wallet
Smartbroker+ was recently rated by, among others, finanzfluss (4.7 out of 5 points in the account comparison), justETF ("very good" in the broker test), Finanztip (recommendation for a securities account or ETF saving) and Stiftung Warentest (as a low-cost account, Finanzen 12/2025).
Who is this worth it for?
- are looking for a new, broadly positioned account anyway and haven't installed the Smartbroker+ app yet
- like to start your account with a well-known individual stock like McDonald's
- read the exact participation conditions beforehand and follow them step by step exactly
- had already installed the app before clicking my link (then the participation unfortunately doesn't count)
- are already an existing Smartbroker+ customer
Conclusion
The promotion is a nice entry into an account I use myself: open a free account, run everything via my link, complete identification – and after six weeks at the latest a McDonald's share worth €20 is in your account. Just be sure to watch the point about the app installation so the reward doesn't slip through your fingers: open a Smartbroker+ account via my link*.
Frequently asked questions
How high is the reward in this Smartbroker+ promotion?
As a new customer you get a share of McDonald's stock (WKN 856958) worth €20 for free when you open your account via my promotion link.
What do I have to do for the €20 McDonald's share?
You have to open an account at Smartbroker+ as a genuine new customer via my official promotion link and complete the full onboarding process including identification.
Why don't I get the share even though I opened an account?
The most common reason: the Smartbroker+ app was already installed before you clicked the promotion link, or the download or account opening didn't run entirely via the official link. In both cases the participation can't be attributed.
When is the McDonald's share credited to my account?
It's credited after your account is successfully opened, at the latest six weeks afterwards. The condition is that your account still exists at that point.
Can I get the reward more than once?
No, the reward is non-transferable and can be claimed only once per person. If you were already a Smartbroker+ customer, the promotion doesn't apply.
What happens if I close my account again before it's credited?
Then your claim to the reward lapses. A claim only exists if, at the time of crediting (at the latest six weeks after account opening), an account at Smartbroker+ still exists.
