Been with Freetrade for a few years now. Good platform, prices and service Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

Great customer service & support

5
Found these people two years ago and haven't looked back. Unrivalled customer service and support. A great experience and an uncomplicated way of getting into investment markets. Would, and have, recommend to friends and family Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Poor service

1
Poor customer service. I decided to give up the premium stuff as I did not get quick responses to the chat messages. The one shining light on "customer service" was the superb work by two heavy community contributors (@NielB and especially @bitflip). @NeilB made it a fun place and wanted to stick around with Freetrade because it was "cool". Whereas @bitflip gave no-nonsense help and seemed to do a lot of the cleaning up that made the site easier to navigate. Alas, they were both chased off by (incompetent) management. On the plus side for many pockets this might be the cheapest place for you - but do your sums Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Great investment app!

Easy to use and simple

Simple, satisfying investment

I enjoy investing through Freeshare. Their App is simple to use and I can watch my investments behaviour easily. Appreciate the range of shares on offer & information they provide me too.. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

A friendly approach

5
Undeniably, investing in stocks, etfs, reits, bonds and so on is complex. The market is saturated with options. Whereas the majority of options look at the customer as an opportunity, Freetrade are just there. No pushy sales techniques, no options to boom or bust and no 'advice'. It is rare to find a company in this space that are self aware. Freetrade seem to have this quality and it is an undeniably a virtue. Which is why I would like to endorse Freetrade for the British Bank Awards. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Simple and cost-effective

5
Freetrade is simple to use and provides plenty of options to invest in. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Simple, reliable & ever-improving.

5
I've found Freetrade to be a reliable and effective way of building up some wealth from my savings. It is easy to use and has been available even on low speed Internet speeds. I would (and have) reccomended it to friends and look forward to further upgrades and improvements to functionality. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Excellent broker low fees

An easy and transparent broker to use Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023
