Trading 212

It's such a straightforward trading platform app, easy to use and navigate, the communication is almost instant if you want to query a problem or require assistance, I'm currently investing in my isa!

Great app and service. Fantastic choice for SIPP and ISA investment.

IAN C.

I’ve been very impressed, a 10x improvement from Hargreaves Lansdown. The transfer of my SIPP was very well managed with excellent communication all the way. Then the actual platform is very good. My SIPP used to be with HL and that platform is ancient and expensive. I like the PM trading being available with zero fees except foreign exchange rates. Wish I’d moved earlier!

I've used freetrade for a few years now. I'm using it to give me one of a variety of incomes as i head in to retirement,(mostly uk dividend shares in my modest portfolio). My basic isa account is free to use, what's not to like!
