I originally came for the ‘free’ angle but what really kept me was how simple and quiet it feels.

The beauty of Freetrade is that you can invest very small amounts, which can add up over time.

Investing gives me the opportunity to build capital over a long period and then decide where it can have the greatest impact.

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.

I’m not a millionaire, but I’m doing all right, and that financial buffer gives me a real sense of security.

I had pensions from two previous UK employers that I wanted to consolidate, and I wanted more freedom over where and how I invest.

There is something satisfying about being able to buy part of that company and have it pay you instead.

Freetrade makes investing feel more like a tool for your life, rather than something that hijacks your attention.

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.

A charge (£0) free ISA, that’s easy to use with a wide range of investments offered. It seems to good to be true, but I’ve used it now for 18 months without a glitch. The customer care is responsive to questions and very positive and helpful when you need assistance. I’ve just transferred more cash into my account and it was a doddle, just use the button in Freetrade and it fills in its details for the bank transfer so there are no mistakes, the transfer took seconds.

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
