Get started with investing basics

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!

It’s been a good experience the first time I am in control of my investments in my isa and general investment. Education that comes with the app and the community to help.

The platform is easy to use offering general/ISA/SIPP accounts There is a huge range of stocks, ETFs, funds and gilts/treasuries. Responsive customer service. Interest on uninvested cash.

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.

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.
