Great platform, Great Product, Great Company!

Great platform, very clean and modern interface. Great customer service, never had a problem that they haven't solved yet. All communications feel personal and important. Very happy so far, and not paid a penny in commission! Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Superb!

The Freetrade experience is a tremendously good one for the investing beginner. The app is well laid out, money is very easily deposited, and trades can be conducted in a matter of seconds. The discover tab within the app is an excellent feature and shows the user popular stocks, alongside other sub-divisions such as recently added stocks, green energy, and tech titans for example. Really useful if you want to see options in particular areas of investment. The big advantage of Freetrade is its commission free trading, which was the big plus point for me. It provides an easy, and cost efficient way, to invest in ETFs and stocks. The app is really secure, and employs face identification to access your portfolio. You can also get free shares by recommending friends to the app. One quibble I would have is the inability to buy shares in whole units, rather than fractions. It’s frustrating when you get 1.15079 of a share for example. I really would recommend Freetrade to the investing novice and expert. Customer Service is excellent too, should you need to contact them. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

best broker in the last 7 years

Freetrade is revolutionary in many ways. Zero cost stock trades. Generous interest on bank balance. Well designed and stylish app. Notifications for limit orders and dividend payouts. It is my leading broker, and the standard by which I judge all other brokers. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Great way for small investors to begin

5
Investing in shares and ETFs can be prohibitively expensive. So pleased to be able to do so without a big bank balance. I love how easy the site is to use, and the added bonus of being able to open a SIPP with them too. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

By far the easiest and beginner friendly trading app around

5
Freetrade is great, they have really simplified trading and brought it to people like me who come with no prior experience or knowledge. Need shared and the freedtrade community is also great for seeing what’s going on in the world on trading stocks. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Highly recommend and have done so already

I have recommended this app to at least 5 people, all of which have downloaded and begun their investing journey Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Quick and simple to use

5
Got my first stocks and shares ISA through Freetrade. Quick and easy to set up and invest, with a much better fee structure than the older brokers. It’s also good to see an online platform that doesn’t encourage day trading or speculation via products like CFDs, which inevitably lead to the customer losing money. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Simple trading for the majority

I was always afraid of getting into investing, until a friend showed me Freetrade. Simple, easy and of course as the name says - free trading. It's super simple to use and helped me take my first steps into investing. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Great platform
