How do I initiate a transfer?

Step 1: Make sure you have the correct account open and ready to receive a transfer.

Step 2: Follow the instructions within the links below:

What is a transfer?

A transfer in the context of this campaign is the transfer of an ISA or SIPP from an existing provider.

What is a top up?

A top up in the context of this campaign is when you add cash to your account.

What is net funding?

It is the value of the deposits minus the withdrawals you make during the campaign period.

Are there any other requirements to qualify for free shares?

An annual subscription to our Standard plan or Plus plan is required to qualify.

Do I qualify for a free share if I already have a Freetrade account?

This offer is open to all Freetrade customers, new and existing who top up or initiate a qualifying transfer prior to 5 April 2024.

If I transfer across multiple accounts (ISA/SIPP) will the value be totalled?

No, due to the possibility that transfers will complete at different times depending on whether they are into an ISA and/or SIPP, we will only combine transfer values within each specific investment account.

Free share awarding will be measured at an individual investment account level (ISA and/or SIPP). Multiple transfers into a single investment account will be measured together.

If you transfer funds into both investment accounts you will have two opportunities to receive free shares, depending on transfer value.

What free share will I get?

Free shares are awarded according to the tier you fall into per account (GIA, ISA or SIPP).

The value of the free share you receive will depend only on the net amount you transfer into each of your GIA, ISA, and/or SIPP accounts (as cash and/or value of investments) between 11 December and 31 January 2024, regardless of the amount you had in your Freetrade account, if any, before.

Transfer Amount
Free share value
£10,000 - £19,999
£100
£20,000 - £39,999
£200
£40,000 - £79,999
£400
£80,000 - £159,999
£800
£160,000 - £249,999
£1,200
£250,000 - £499,999
£1,800
£500,000+
£2,100

Remember: If you withdraw or transfer any amounts out of your relevant Freetrade account which causes its value to fall before we award the share, then this lower value will be used to determine whether you get a free share.

When does this offer end?

This offer is for top ups and transfers of cash or investments which have been contributed into an ISA or SIPP between 22 February and 5 April 2024.

If you are transferring an account, you have to initiate a transfer on or before 5 April 2024.

Which free share will I get? Will I get a single or multiple free shares?

You could get a single free share or multiple free shares that will total the value of the award you qualify for.

Free shares are selected at random from our stock universe, and could be a share, ETF or investment trust. Free shares are always US or UK instruments.

The type of free shares awarded are not defined until the awarding date to ensure the free share value aligns with the amount you have transferred and appropriate reward banding.

Can you put the free share in my ISA or SIPP?

Due to ISA and SIPP rules, your free share(s) can only be awarded to your General Investment Account (GIA).

What if I want to close or withdraw from my account?

If you make a withdrawal or transfer out which causes the net funding of the Freetrade account to fall or you close your Freetrade account before we award the free share, then this will affect whether you get a free share or the value of any awarded free share, in line with the table above.

How many free shares can I get under this offer?

You may receive either one or several free shares equivalent to the total value of the free share you qualify for.

You will get a free share associated with each investment account (ISA or SIPP) which meets the net funding requirements of the campaign awarded to your GIA.

When will I get the free share?

We will award the free share usually within 90 days of the completion of the campaign if your transfer has completed. This is dependent on you keeping your account open, not withdrawing or transferring to below £10,000, and you having an active annual subscription to our Standard or Plus plan.

If you make a withdrawal or transfer which causes the net funding of your ISA and/or SIPP to fall before we award the free share, then it will affect whether you get a free share or how much that free share is worth. If you close your Freetrade account before we award the free share, then you won't be awarded a free share.

What if my transfer hasn't been completed within 90 days of the campaign completing, will I still get my free share?

Yes, we will review all those transfers who qualified before 5 April each month and award outstanding free shares in a monthly cycle.

When you invest, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. This is not investment advice.

⚠️  ISA eligibility rules apply. Tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and current rules may change.  Check before you transfer that we can accept your investments, you won’t lose any guarantees, and that you know what charges you may incur.

⚠️  SIPP eligibility rules apply. Tax treatment depends on your personal circumstances and current rules may change.

Check before you transfer a pension to us that we can accept your investments, you won’t lose any guarantees, and that you know what charges you may incur. Seek advice if you are unsure about making a transfer.

A SIPP is a pension designed for you to save until your retirement and is for people who want to make their own investment decisions. You can normally only draw your pension from age 55 (57 from 2028), except in special circumstances.

At present, Freetrade only supports Uncrystallised Fund Pension Lump Sums (UFPLS) for customers who wish to withdraw funds from their SIPP after their 55th birthday. We strongly encourage you to seek financial advice before making any withdrawals from your SIPP.
