Growth in client base, their investment activity, and assets

In 2024, XTB acquired 498,000 new clients, representing a 59.8% year-over-year increase. The company’s goal is to acquire between 150,000 to 210,000 new clients per quarter. In January and February of this year alone, 137,752 new clients joined XTB. As of the end of February, XTB had 1.49 million clients.

The transactional activity of XTB clients also increased, with clients completing 167.6 million transactions in 2024, 18% more than the previous year.

Last year, nearly 80% of new clients in the European Union began investing by purchasing stocks, ETPs, or opening an investment plan. This aligns with XTB’s strategic goal of building a universal investment app that will become the first choice for individuals who want to manage their finances.

In Poland, there was significant interest from clients in pension products, specifically the IKE account. In 2024, XTB clients opened 29,000 such accounts, accounting for 40% of all new IKE accounts opened in brokerage houses. It is worth noting that the IKE account was introduced by XTB only at the beginning of October 2024.

“We are pleased with the results achieved in 2024. We are happy with both the increasing number of new clients and the growth in their transactional activity. Our passive investment offering, including investment plans and interest on free funds, is very competitive in many of the markets we operate in, which positively impacts new client acquisition. We are also effectively reaching younger investor groups who stay with us for the long term,” said Paweł Szejko, CFO at XTB.

At the end of 2024, XTB’s client assets totaled PLN 27.4 billion (+58.4% YoY). The largest increase (+126.6%) was observed in the nominal value of instruments deposited by clients in XTB accounts, which amounted to PLN 13.7 billion. The value of client cash increased by 65.5% to over PLN 3.7 billion, while the nominal value of derivative instruments rose by PLN 1.1 billion to PLN 10 billion.

Growing share of the Middle East in revenue structure

Central and Eastern Europe remains the largest contributor to XTB’s revenue, with its share rising to 63.9% in 2024 (+3.1% YoY). By the end of 2024, revenue from this region grew by 21.7% to PLN 1.96 billion. Poland plays a key role in this region, with revenue from this market increasing by 26.5% YoY, showing that XTB has the potential for further growth in markets where its position is already dominant.

Western Europe is a region where the company plans to intensively expand in 2025. The increase in revenue from this region will be supported by the expansion of the product offering and the introduction of ISA accounts in the UK (Q4 2024), with plans to add PEA accounts for clients in France in the coming weeks.

The most dynamically developing region for XTB remains the Middle East, whose share of the company’s revenue at the end of 2024 reached 10.9%, compared to 7.3% a year earlier. Revenue from this region increased by 72.5% YoY to PLN 203.1 million.

“We see a very large potential in the Middle East region, which is one of the fastest-growing markets for our operations. In the coming days, we will open a new, larger office in the United Arab Emirates, and acquiring a new license opens up a range of opportunities for promoting our products and optimizing costs. The Asian market also holds significant growth potential, where we have obtained a license that will allow us to offer our products – stocks and ETPs – to clients,” commented Paweł Szejko, Board Member for Finance at XTB.
