Democratising share ownership

Easy to purchase shares wherever I am Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Perfect tool for investing

The app was suggested by a friend to me and I thought yes let’s give investing a go during lockdown and through this app I’ve learned a lot and the best part is I can open an isa cost free and there is commission when buying shares Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Highly recommended

I have recommended Freetrade to so many people! Their customer service is helpful, their app looks great and is simple to use (plus witty stock descriptions). When they had issues as many brokers did around the time of the surge of interest in GameStop they were really open and transparent with their users, turning around a workaround overnight AND offering refunds to premium members for the disruption in service. I, like many others, turned down the refund offer because they are a great company and we want to support what they do and the service they offer. When a company works hard to provide a service and does it successfully & seamlessly 99% of the time... when inevitably something unexpected comes along customers will judged them by how they act in those times. While other brokers started with denials and got defensive, Freetrade did the most to communicate the issues openly and in real time as well as working on resolving them with amazing speed. A company that works that hard for my business and to honour their commitments to their customers... that is the kind of company I will stick with and support. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021
