Review of the Freetrade, Online share dealing:

Still the best platform for buying/selling without per transaction trading fees

I've been with Freetrade for a number of years now and find the service to be consistently stable with no downtime or outages. The latest pricing structure for ISAs is extremely generous but by far the best feature of Freetrade is that the trades themselves are free rather than ~£10 per buy and sell like with other providers. I only wish Freetrade were faster at rolling out new features and new account types such as JISAs and LISAs. They risk being left behind as so many new competitors are joining this space.

Without Freetrade I wouldn't have any investments at all

I'm a millennial and have already lived through two "once in a lifetime financial crises" with a third one looking imminent. I don't own property, I have no private pension and before Freetrade I had no savings at all. Freetrade's great app, fantastic pricing structure plus free individual trades and its community forum have all nudged me into building up a savings pot for the first time in my life. I can't thank them enough for shaking up the previously very expensive and exclusionary stock broker marketplace! Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Review of the Starling Bank, Business Account:

A refreshing change from the old banks - they're hitting the ground running

Really I'd expect a new bank to have mobile app and web banking experience that's miles behind the established big banks of the UK. The opposite is true. Starling absolutely smashes it out of the park with mobile/web banking that's streets ahead in terms of features, ease of use and layout. Their Business Toolkit is also experiencing a rapid pace of development and, again, is already ahead of anything that I experienced from the legacy banks. Reviewed on: 8th February 2021

For the first time in my life I have savings!

Freetrade has made saving worthwhile for me. I'm not a big earner and have never had savings before but Freetrade has torn down the barriers to investing and made it possible for people like me. I just add a little bit and often and buy shares in ETFs that I believe in - from a social, environmental and ethical standpoint. I'm seeing my money grow but more importantly I feel as though saving is worthwhile. After nearly 40 years on this planet, I'm finally starting to get somewhere. Thank you Freetrade.
