Join us for the next full-scale Zoom AMA with @adam and @Viktor taking your questions on āSeries B, 2021 expansion and beyondā as we share updates and exciting news about whatās to come here at Freetrade including:
Q1 numbers
Progress on EU expansion and EU stocks
Our hiring priorities
Product priorities
As usual, weāll share the Zoom webinar link here just before 8 PM on Wed 12th May.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the call, and hopefully in person at our upcoming events soon!
Ask your questions below and weāll prioritise the most-liked.
Update, June 2021: Hereās the video of the meetup, in case you missed it!
What level of engagement / retention do you see from the āGMEā users wave from earlier this year ?
As the latest raise valuation was defined prior to that spike, does it have an important impact on future valuation ? Is it something that is being discussed with the VC who invested in the Series B ?
When will I be able to transfer my āPEAā from Boursorama to Freetrade ? #Team
There seems to have been little in the way of new features released in the last 12 months. The SIPP was a great and welcome addition but beyond that there doesnāt seem to have been much innovation within the app at all - especially when compared to competing apps.
What new features if any should we expect in the next quarter/s?
Are there any features you are working on which are unique to FT and not just replicating whatās been done elsewhere? Piesā¦dividend reinvestmentā¦etcā¦all great - but nothing new and only helps us keep up with the competition rather than being at the forefront.
Good question - and further to that - it was previously mentioned that FT would be looking at raising in both the UK and Europe. Do you have any more details on how much you are going to be raising and when?
With the expansion of crypto and more take up from other brokers (including EU competitors) , how has freetrade faired with attracting a crypto hire that can investigate and look at timescales to implement crypto into the app?
The most recent confirmation statement filed with Companies House is not showing the list of shareholders. Part 4 is missing.
I am not sure if this is due to a FT or CH error.
Iāve reported this to Dan @FT (who said he was aware of the issue) several months ago and also to CH (who are utterly useless) - but the document is still not showing.
Shareholders have a right to see this document but we canāt get it on CH and Dan said he is unable to send it out. What do we have to do to see this document please? Why canāt Dan send it out when it should be in the public domain anyway?
LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs LISAs.
Are LISAs coming this tax year? Just a yes/no. Itās affecting what I do this tax year and how I handle my current LISA at a terrible, truly awful and crap unnamed competitor whose name rhymes with Hey Jay Well.
At the last AMA one of the objectives that was stated was that āyou should always know where your money isā when there are delays or problems processing payments. Since then, āinstant depositsā have been working for many people, which is great when it works, but there seem to still be customers who experience delays when opening an account or making their first deposit, and who donāt seem to understand āwhere their money isā. Are you still working on ways to improve communication with users when a transaction cannot be completed instantly?
Any update on this that Freetrade posted? It was announced in 2018
It was a really good idea with the pending bit but doesnāt seem to work. Also, can we have the mention in the activity feed land when the payment lands? I have missed my payments as they are posted to a previous date and are many posts down so I need hunt them and scroll to find them.
This wouldnāt be so important if we had decent charts and desktop but as we donāt it is important as many of us use this information for our own spreadsheets.
The number of EU competitors is growing and over the past year we have seen significant raises from the likes of BUX & Vivid that rival or exceed Freetradeās Series B (in monetary value).
Now that Freetrade no longer has first mover advantage in a lot of countries, will you adjust Freetradeās user acquisition strategy? And what killer product features has Freetrade got, which the others do not?
