Alternative payment method

Hi, I recently spoke with a freetrade support member asking if an alternative payment method was available- I.e taking subscription payments directly from the funds in an individual’s account rather than from a bank account.

I was told to add this as a suggestion in the community. The question came up because I’ll be moving abroad (out of the UK) for a while and therefore regular streams of income will not be coming into my UK bank account anymore.

Would be great to get votes on this post so that the product team can prioritise this.

Choose to pay SIPP fee from the SIPP account

This idea is following up from this post: Currently if the FT SIPP is charged outside the SIPP basic income tax payers loose a 20% discount while higher income tax payers loose a 40% discount. For example let’s assume that I will always cover the FT fee with my monthly earnings so the fee is charged outside the SIPP it will come off my credit card and if it is within the SIPP I’ll make a new contribution to the SIPP to cover the fee. A FT SIPP will cost me £10 a month from my annual earning…

Hi Natasha, and welcome to the forum!

A great idea, now how do we turn this into a voting post?

I believe you’d need to edit the topic and move it from “Freetrade Chat” to “Ideas”. I don’t have the permissions for that (I think I need to be a more frequent poster), but the OP may be able to change it?

Ah it looks like I can’t change it here. I will re write and add it to the “ideas” section. Thank you both
