Free trade has made it so easy to manage my shares, and their customer response is quick and helpful. They have made something I was nervous about doing straightforward and a breeze to do. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Will turn investing on its head in the UK

Allows "pocket money" investing at fixed cost unlike larger competitors who's percentage based fees generate more for the platform owner the more the save invests for little more than storing a number with more digits compared to investors with fewer digits in their balance. FREETRADE charges all customers the same for the same provided Ser ice without penalizing those who invest more with higher fees. This will force the established service providers to reconsider. Because of this, I do not hold shares in their competitors. Reviewed on: 8th January 2020
