Overseas transactions brilliant

I’ve just spent a month in Asia- Thailand and Vietnam ( yes it works with Thai Baht and Vietnamese Dong transactions even though they aren’t one of the currencies one can buy within the account) I’ve done the number crunching on the daily exchange for Mastercard and Visa compared to T212 after seeing the actual rate T212 gives when I did a transaction and compared the exchange for Visa and MC on one of my 0% fees cards I do have for both Visa and MC)! T212 wins hands down it gives interbank FX rates which are better than Visa or MC who both have around a 1% loading. Add the 0.5% cashback the effective exchange rate can not be beaten. It works fine everywhere UK and abroad plus overseas transactions (such as USD where that is the currency charge in particular website) I’ve used it contactless and when PIN is required and online no problem. One thing it can’t do is withdraw from an ATM (contactless withdrawal apparently yes but abroad I’ve found that restricted to a particular overseas bank card on their own ATM machines which I’ve found certainly in Thailand so can’t use it in an ATM it doesn’t have a magnetic strip enabling ATM withdrawals apparently) or do counter withdrawals in banks I use a Barclaycard Rewards VISA credit card for ATM and counter withdrawals but otherwise I use nothing other than T212 when abroad or doing online transactions not in sterling- absolutely brilliant little black card!

Simple, varied options, great ai

I started with a small amount with a growth and dividend strategy. I am now gaining over 10 percent growth and dividend reinvestment yearly. It is easy to use and although there is potential to lose. The new ai features and managed pies make it easy to start investing. Highly recommended. You can use my invite code for free shares, minimal investment. Gux23cSk Reviewed on: 14th September 2025

Be Warned Trading 212!

Opened an account with Trading 212 to tip my toe in the investing water. Decided it was too complicated for a novice investor. Here comes the catch Trading 212 make it virtually impossible to get your funds out of their account system. I have virtually kissed goodbye to £500 as there seems to be no way out other that spend ages with a virtual chat room going round in circles. This is a genuine review to warn any other novice investors. I really can't afford to throw away £500 but seems there is no clear way to close the account and get your owns funds back.

Disappointing Security: No Real Support When It Matters

I trusted Trading 212 as a platform to manage my savings and investments, but when my account was compromised, I was shocked by how limited the support and security actually were. Despite reporting the issue quickly, the fraudster was able to bypass account protections by exploiting weak links in their process, including actions taken through email and SMS. There was no phone support, no secure backup system, and no meaningful way to stop the fraud once it started. Trading 212 insists their systems worked properly, but in reality, their design allowed someone else to access and empty my account. This experience left me feeling extremely vulnerable and let down. Financial platforms must do more to protect users, especially when it comes to identity verification and crisis response. If you’re looking for a secure investment platform, be cautious and make sure you’re comfortable with the support options they actually provide—not just what they advertise.

Reply from Trading 212 We’re truly sorry to hear about the situation you faced, Susana! As a licensed broker regulated by the FCA, CySEC, ASIC, and BaFin, we're obliged to follow strict policies and ensure security. That is why, Two-factor authentication is now mandatory for all clients, and we offer two secure methods: either through a trusted device or an authenticator app. Security protocols, including identity verification, can only be completed after the required documents and biometric data are verified. However, if this information is accessed or used by a third party with or without the account holder’s knowledge, responsibility for account activity ultimately remains with the holder. Still, we understand how distressing this experience can be and would like to assist. Please update your review with your case reference number so we can take a closer look and ensure all of your concerns are addressed. Response date: 27th June 2025
