Good Investment Co

Great to be able to buy stocks and shares fee free at the drop of a hat. They're always improving the app too Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

Innovative Platform

5
User friendly platform with fractional, fee free trading. Provides high quality performance analytics, including benchmarking & time weighted vs. money weighted rate of returns - something no other UK brokerage seems capable of providing. Only downsides from my perspective - excessive FX comissions, no CGT or transaction reporting, missing certain obvious shares. But it's still 10x better than the other garbage online brokers we have access to in the UK. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

It's very good platform

Commission-free simple investing

The app is intuitive and easy to use. Their SIPP offering is the cheapest out there in the long run. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

Same service as other providers but no costs!

It's a simple idea - offer the same service and customer focus, but make your money another way (added extras). What's not to love? Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

Great New Company - Making Investing Easy & Affordable

5
Really pleased with what FreeTrade has to offer so far. - It offers free investing in local markets, with only a small FX fee of 0.45% for US Stocks, and with no commissions anywhere. The App is changing the way people invest for the better, although features like Statements for annual dividends received (both directly and via accumulating funds) needs to be added for people to be easier able to complete their tax returns, if they wish to compete with other low cost providers like De Giro. Overall very pleased and I can see they are making improvements all the time. I can't stress how important it is that they get on top of this dividend statement issue, as many people earn more than £2,000 per annum in dividends and need to do a tax return, so Freetrade need to let people know what dividends they have received for tax, however everything else is Excellent. The ISA and SIPPs are also very cheap, and their is a wider range of stocks available via premium services, which are still very affordable. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

Trustworthy and easy to use

5
I have only dabbled in trading,but the app is both secure and easy.The discussions about stock are interesting and informative Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

Best online share dealing app

Freetrade is forward thinking app based share dealing broker that uses latest technologies and makes it easy for anyone to invest. On top of that, their fees are extremely low compared to other brokers in UK and Europe Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022
