It has made me more engaged with my money. I am not simply saving and leaving it alone.

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.

Investing means I can make more deliberate choices about my future rather than feeling like everything is happening to me.

Financial freedom is about building layers of financial independence so that I can reclaim more control over my time.

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.

  • 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.

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!

Moved my SIPP and ISA to Freetrade 2 years ago. Very low costs and very responsive customer service. Can't fault.

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.

Easy way to manage a stocks and shares ISA. Dividends can be used to buy further shares instead of being hit by yet more tax. Tax efficient for your yearly allowance.
