An update on the good things coming to your account

Let’s kick things off with an update on Invest by Freetrade, our homegrown brokerage platform which we’ve been working on for well over a year now.

Invest by Freetrade will bring you:

  • Instant deposits with Apple Pay and Google Pay as soon as you’re upgraded. ⚡
  • A smoother and faster app experience, thanks to a reduced dependency on third-party platforms. 💰
  • New features in the next few weeks, such as thousands of new stocks and fractional shares. 🍕
  • Our premium account, which will be launched in the next few months. 🅰️

Now we’re finished beta testing the platform and it all looks a-okay, we’re starting to upgrade customer accounts to be on Invest by Freetrade in weekly batches.

When will I get upgraded?

You don’t need to do anything now, we’ll let you know when your account has been upgraded in the next few weeks.

If you have any other questions about your account upgrade, just drop us a line on the in-app chat.

Does anything else change on my app?

Nothing else changes, apart from the improvements we mentioned above — plus a surprise new feature we can’t say too much about but that we know you’ll love. 😉

We can’t wait for everyone to be upgraded, so stay tuned!
