Trading 212 Investment Accounts reviews (241)

Hands down the best truly free investment platform.

Completely free investing platform with better execution than competitors. A responsive team on the forum who are quick to add new stocks if requested. A thoroughly better platform than the others, and importantly, no fees or charges for ISAs or investing accounts. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Excellent experience and highly recommended

I have used many brokers in my time so know the alternatives. Trading 212 impresses me a lot. The pros are: 0 fees (truely, no catch), 0 commission on currency exchange, fractional shares, autoinvest, pies, invest by value, great client community in which there is active participation by Trading 212 staff. Fast turn around on queries. Continual improvement of trading app that so as to regularly provide clients with innovative features. The new autoinvest into self-determined pies feature is revolutionary. You can make a pie that 5% Amazon, 5% Microsoft, etc. When you buy £100 worth of the pie you will be buying £5 worth of Amazon. I am an experienced investor and it is good for people like me - but particularly good for new investors. Rather than buy 1 share of Amazon, which costs around $3200 presently, you can buy as little as 0.001 share for $3.20. Since there is no fee, you can, at low cost, make many small investments, daily, weekly, monthly, building up savings as you like. This is impossible using brokers who charge £7.95 per trade or more. You can move in an out of positions without losing a fee each time. I am happy that Trading 212 is a company with a 10+ year history, profitable, FCA regulated and FSCS protection of cash balances. It is no surprise that they have rapidly grown and have been able to tell the user community that in January 2021 they now have 1 million user accounts and 2 billion assets under management.

Best platform there is

Completely free and so many features you can’t find elsewhere. Why go anywhere else? Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Best on the UK market but not perfect

Moved from Freetrade and opened my ISA with Trading212 due to having more stocks, more worldwide markets, no FX fee for overseas stocks, web platform and free S&S ISA. As a long time investor I'm very pleased with the platform. Trading212 are not perfect however, two of my main gripes are: 1. Communication and transparency, which they are continuously working on, still needs to be better. A lot of their key and important communications are on their forum and not social media, they are not promoting themselves as they should. Also transparency when there's downtime or issues which are not logged or centralised somewhere for people to see. Again, you have to browse through the community forum to be aware of things. 2. The trading platform. Trades are done via IB (Interactive Brokers) and they do not own their own platform, hence any new stocks requests from the community which are not on IB won't be able to be added. Also the low volume market orders which are executed via SETSqx are literally anyone's luck when, how and at what price they get executed. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Trading 212 best experience

my review is firstly is a free platform plenty of choice not as many choices then ig or Hargreaves but they charge a fortune withdrawals is easy and in my account next day no issues for me. Reviewed on: 16th September 2020

The best in U.K.

The best broker in U.K.: free but with plenty of great features. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Good for low recurrent investment

It is great to have a free brokerage in the Uk, for long term investor with monthly investment is great Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Simply the best trading platform

I think Trading 212 is one of the best things to ever happen in my financial journey. The ability to open an ISA account is an added bonus. For me this is the best savings account with far greater returns than the silly bank interest rates. You can build your own investment portfolio that is as diversified as you want. As long as you do your homework and put in the effort to educate yourself about trading then the sky is the limit. Just don't fool yourself and think you can start trading blindly just because it's free and hope to make yourself richer. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019
