We are approved to provide ISAs

Updated
November 6, 2017

Freetrade has been approved by HMRC as a Stocks & Shares ISA manager, meaning customers will be able to open tax-efficient investment accounts as part of the 2018 rollout. ISAs let you shelter investment gains and interest from tax, and this approval is a key step in building Freetrade’s own full-stack brokerage offering.

  • HMRC has authorised Freetrade as an ISA Manager.
  • Customers will be able to open a Stocks & Shares ISA with their Freetrade account.
  • ISA gains (like interest and capital gains) are sheltered from tax, subject to rules and personal circumstances.
  • Approval builds on Freetrade’s direct FCA authorisation and supports its full-stack brokerage model.

A quick update that Freetrade has just been approved to be an ISA Manager by the Board of HM Revenue and Customs. ✅
