Easy to use

I've been on it for a few years now. Very easy to use and get your way around the app. I haven't had any issues so far.

Transfer experience is terrible

I'm 8 weeks into an Isa and GIA transfer and 47k of shares seem to be lost with no substantive response from freetrade. Cash and investments are still not fully transferred and I've been out of the market for weeks. All I'm getting is an AI bot messenger and automated messaging.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, we understand how concerning this must be, especially given the length of time and the amount involved.

While transfers can sometimes take longer depending on the providers involved, your assets are not lost. That said, you should have received clearer and more timely updates from us.

We’ve flagged your case with our transfers team and asked them to contact you directly as a priority to provide a full update.

Thank you for your patience - we’ll make sure this is followed up properly.

Very easy to use

Very easy to use, plus they provide investors with good information. The only downside is that dividends are not reinvested so attract tax.

Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re finding the app easy to use and that the investment information is helpful.

You’re right that dividends are currently paid out as cash rather than automatically reinvested. This is something we know is important to many investors, and it’s on our radar as we continue to improve the platform.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, we really appreciate it.

Good app for investment

Good app for investment. I wish if the can add more stock on the catalog as some of the stocks are not available directly and need to buy through USD ADR which I don't prefer. E.G. ArcelorMittal which is listed In EU with Eur currency. I could not buy eur but had to buy in USD adr

Thanks for your feedback - we really appreciate you sharing this!

We offer a range of European stocks in EUR, but there are some listings we’re unable to support if the underlying exchange isn’t available on our platform. In those cases, a USD ADR may be the only option we can offer.

We’re always working to expand the markets and stocks available, so we’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to the team regarding ArcelorMittal.

If there are any other stocks you’d like to see added, feel free to let us know!

Trading is good and fruitful

Trading UI very easy to use. Excellent services without commission charges. Multiple family members have accounts covering trading, ISA and SIPPs. Many thanks to the Freetrade team for providing such a nice platform.

Unacceptable Customer Service

I used the in-app chat on 7th April to make a simple request. It is now 14th April and my request is still not resolved. My messages are being ignored and I'm not sure why. I cannot in good conscience recommend Freetrade due to the poor customer service.

Please reach out to us at reviews@freetrade.io with your account details. Our dedicated team will look into this immediately to find out what happened with your initial chat and get your request resolved as a priority.

Thank you for your patience and we are looking forward to your message!

Moved across a few weeks ago and really pleased so far. I was previously with v expensive Hargreaves lansdown. Love having no fees and commission. Customer service isn’t too bad either.

Great

Great. Much cheaper than more well known providers like Hargreaves Lansdown. Very easy to use and if you have any issues the support team are quick to get in touch. Don't offer as many funds as AJ Bell or Hargreaves Lansdown but they are constantly expanding how many they offer.

Freetrade’s app makes investing relatively simple and easy to use. Last year Freetrade did me a big favour when they gave me the heads up that I was about to get scammed in a Pump’n’Dump scheme. I’m looking forward to them introducing twenty-four hour trading. Keep it up! 😀

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience-it really means a lot to the team.

We’re really pleased to hear that you find the app simple and easy to use, and especially glad we were able to help flag potential risk around the Pump’n’Dump situation last year. Keeping our customers informed and supported is really important to us.

We also appreciate your feedback on 24-hour trading-that’s great insight and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the relevant team.

Thanks again for your support, and happy investing! 😀

3 days and zero response to where my ISA transfer cash is. It’s left my previous broker 8 days ago but not arrived yet and no one at Freetrade can be bothered to reply to my question about where it is, not a good first impression and a large sum of money to disappear. Maybe low fees isn’t such a great thing. Will be thinking about going elsewhere.

We’re really sorry for the worry this has caused, especially when it involves a large sum of money. We completely understand how concerning that must feel.

We can confirm that your ISA transfer was completed on 12th April, and your funds have been successfully received. We’ve also reached out to you directly to help walk through the details and make sure everything is clear.

If you still have any questions or would like further reassurance, please reply to our message, we’re here to help.
