Seamless

Freetrade is one of those platforms that just works. No faf, no unnecessary hoops to jump through. It’s how all banks should operate. The customer experience in the finance world has long been ignored or derived from “what they think is best”. It is great to see companies like Freetrade come in and shake things up.

Brilliant app to use

I always recommend freetrade above any other trading app because it’s so easy to use for beginners Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Stocks & Shares: Simplified

4
A year ago, I had no idea what to do about buying and selling stocks and shares. Today, my portfolio is up by £2,000. I did that on my own, and with the thanks of Freetrade's super-easy interface and informative customer support. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is because order's are not processed instantly, which I can only assume is because the small FT team aren't robots, and need time to sleep. Great app, would recommend. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Perfect app for new investors

Fantastic, user friendly app. Helpful FAQ section. Great customer service. Easy to reach out to staff for support. Commission free trading is always welcome. Great free share referral system in place. Pleased that a new SIPP product has recently been launched. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

democratisation of share ownership

Ability to purchase fractional shares at little to no cost is life changing Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Great functionality, easy to use and excellent customer service

5
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using Freetrade since I started investing in March 2020. My portfolio was previously held with a bank, but moving across to Freetrade was a great move! The fact that I don’t have to pay fees every single time I purchase shares works perfectly with with my pound-cost-averaging strategy of frequent buying. I’ve been very impressed with the customer service I’ve received, with prompt replies and solutions to my queries. The functionality of the app, information on shares and ease of use is everything I am looking for in an investing app. I couldn’t recommend Freetrade enough! Luke Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Faultless Comission-free Trading

5
There is nothing misleading about the name Freetrade. Instant orders and access to an ISA comes incredibly cost effectively. The app work well and looks gorgeous and the team are also there to notify me of key dates or problems before I become aware of them after the fact. Best customer service of any financial product I’ve ever had and the best platform I’ve ever used while managing funds. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021
