Reviews for Trading 212 have trended negatively over the past 90 days

Trading 212 is loved for its super easy app that suits beginners and pros alike. The platform shines with great interest rates on cash ISAs and invested cash plus excellent value through zero or low fees. However some find customer service slow or unhelpful and dislike sudden drops in ISA interest rates or intro bonuses only for new customers. A few have struggled with lengthy KYC checks causing frozen funds.

Positive themes

  • Trading 212 app is super easy to use and perfect for beginners and pros alike.
  • Trading 212 offers great interest rates on cash ISAs and invested cash.
  • Trading 212 provides excellent value with zero or low fees and commission-free trading.

Negative themes

  • Customer service can be slow or unhelpful at times with poor document formatting.
  • Cash ISA interest rates dropped quickly and existing customers miss out on intro bonuses.
  • KYC and AML checks are excessive causing frozen funds and poor support.

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!

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 Read more Read less
