The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and current rules may change. Check before you transfer that we can accept your investments, you won’t lose any guarantees, and that you know what charges you may incur.

Transferring to another provider

If you decide to leave Freetrade, you can transfer out UK or US securities as cash or stock. At the moment, to transfer any non-UK or non-US securities away from Freetrade, you will have to sell them first and transfer the amount as cash. When you transfer as cash you’ll be out of the market, so you may miss out on the ups and downs.

Stocks can only be transferred as whole shares. If you wish to transfer a fraction of a share, you will have to sell it first and transfer the amount as cash.

There is no fee to transfer out UK securities or cash. Transferring out US securities will incur a cost of £17 per holding. We charge this amount to cover the fee our service provider charges us.

Your new provider may not be able to accept transfers of all securities you hold with Freetrade. It’s worth checking if they can support your stocks before you start your transfer.

Your future broker can send an electronic transfer request to us at: transfers@freetrade.io.

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.

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.

Great app - very intuitive & easy to use. Constantly improving the app, features and listing more instruments to invest in. Very excited specifically about the latest changes in the paid plans and making ISA free.

I used Freetrade for my Stocks and Shares ISA for several years. It is the best looking platform out there (you can easily track your performance over a custom period, super easy to make trades and navigate throughout). The customer support chat is very easy to use and response time is very quick. Would highly recommend.

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!

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.

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.
