I want something that’s accessible and consistent, so investing can tick over in the background, regardless of what’s happening in the rest of life.

Having my money in one place gave me a much better overview of my finances, and it’s easy to switch between accounts and stay in control.

We're authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. That means we are subject to rules around how we hold your money, how we run the business, and how we report on it.

FSCS protection

Eligible cash is protected up to £120,000 and investments up to £85,000 if Freetrade ever went out of business.

Customer cash sits in dedicated client money accounts, separate from Freetrade's own funds. Records are reconciled daily and audited by PwC.

FTSE 100

Since 2025 we've been part of IG Group, a FTSE 100 business founded in 1974. That backing gives us strong financial foundations.

How Freetrade keeps investing free

No account fees. No trading commissions. We built Freetrade around the belief that cost shouldn't be a barrier to investing.

Fees compound just like returns do. Even 0.5% a year quietly erodes your wealth over time. See how much your fees really cost you here.

We make money in other ways, like FX fees on non-GBP trades, a share of interest on uninvested cash, and optional paid plans for those who want more. That keeps the core experience free for everyone.

Security you can rely on

We use industry-leading security measures to protect your Freetrade account and personal data, including secure login controls and multi-factor authentication.

  • App PIN and biometric login
    Your Freetrade app is locked behind a PIN you choose, adding an extra layer of protection even if your phone is unlocked. You can also enable fingerprint or Face ID for secure, quick access.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
    For web access, you can enable SMS or an authentication app to add an extra verification step when signing in.
  • Personal data protection
    We protect your personal data using secure systems, access controls, and monitoring, and only share it where necessary to provide our services.

Consolidated my pension pots into a SIPP and ISA on a single platform. Excellent access to US market. Very reasonable account fees, low FX fees and no brokerage fees.

I have been using Freetrade platform to invest my ISA for the last 5 years. They have made easy to buy and sell shares. Their fees are reasonable. In my opinion they are far better than any other platform.

Really straightforward transfer process (ISA and SIPP). Nice app and website. Good switching incentive too. Great customer service (I'm a plus customer).

What can i say, a great service, no charges for transactions, just a nice easy 1 yearly or monthly fee whichever you prefer. I have a SIPP & S&S Isa (think there are cheaper sipps, but if you have both products cannot see any cheaper). Keep up the good work, and please to get 5* just need employer contributions set up

What I love most: Commission-free trading: Buying and selling shares without hidden fees makes investing accessible to everyone. Fractional shares: You don’t need hundreds to invest in big-name companies—just a few pounds and a bit of curiosity. Slick design: The app feels modern and easy to navigate, even for beginners. Educational content: Their in-app insights and weekly emails help me understand the market better without being overwhelming. ISA and SIPP options: For those thinking long-term, it’s great to have tax-efficient accounts built right in. Whether you're dipping your toes into the stock market or managing a growing portfolio, Freetrade makes the experience feel empowering rather than intimidating. It’s not just an app—it’s a gateway to financial confidence.
