I've been using t212 for a while now, the service is excellent and most importantly free. On top of this the trading 212 forum is the best I've found. Not only do you have new investors looking for help but more experienced investors that are only ever happy to help. Overall I struggle to say anything bad about the trading 212 experience. I highly recommend you try it out. To note I've been told that t212 is not for beginners and your better off paying a broker for advice. I think this is wrong and I have a paid subscription elsewhere, currently none of the recommendations this other paid broker have given are profitable yet my t212 account is up over 50% with self sourcing and forum recommendations through trading 212. The combined auto funding pie function with isa is a must have for a worry free future. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

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

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 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
