About Freetrade

Your gateway to commission-free investing

When you invest, your capital is at risk

We’re an award-winning self-directed investment platform.

Whether you’re saving for a home, a rainy day, or retirement, Freetrade is here for you. 

Launched in 2018, we pioneered commission-free investing in the UK. Since then, we’ve grown to a fully featured investment platform covering US, UK, and European stocks, tax-wrapped accounts, and more, to help you meet your goals.

We’re proud to be backed by over 19,000 crowdfunding shareholders and world-class institutions including Molten, Left Lane Capital, Capricorn, The Phoenix, and L Catterton. 

We’ve won dozens of awards and earned hard-fought industry recognition for the value for money we offer investors.

Simple, low fees

While all investing carries risks, we want to help our investors control what they can, especially the fees they pay. 

That’s why our business model is simple and intuitive. You select the subscription that suits your needs, and your account fees are fixed. They won’t grow with your portfolio. 

We’ve also eliminated commission fees. Instead, we’ll only charge you on transactions if we need to convert your pounds to another currency to place a trade. 

A modern, purpose-built tech platform
We’ve built our cloud-native brokerage platform from scratch, giving us the flexibility to adapt and scale as we grow. We built it to handle extreme volumes, with the flexibility to develop features quickly.

Our brokerage platform connects directly to the plumbing of the capital markets. By eliminating intermediaries relied on by other platforms, we can provide our services to you for less cost.

Our tech has proven to be resilient in times of high market volatility, providing you with the reassurance that we’ll be able to support you regardless of market conditions.
Our team
We’re a dedicated team of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds united by our mission to help both new and experienced investors in the UK achieve their financial goals. 

We work in an open, transparent, and collaborative way to drive our mission forward. 

We’re always looking for exceptional people with a passion for investing. If that sounds like you, check out our careers page.
