Community Meetup - 8 PM Wed 12th May 2021, live on Zoom

Great to see another AMA.

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?

Following on from this:

  • Will you launch Euro accounts and European stocks at the same time? Are these a prerequisite to launching in Europe?
  • Once you have launched in the first three markets, how difficult is it to roll out to additional markets in Europe?

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.

I’ve 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 can’t 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 can’t 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 LISAs.

Are LISAs coming this tax year? Just a yes/no. It’s 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 ‘you should always know where your money is’ when there are delays or problems processing payments. Since then, ‘instant deposits’ 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 don’t seem to understand ‘where their money is’. 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 :joy: :man_facepalming:

It was a really good idea with the pending bit but doesn’t 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 wouldn’t be so important if we had decent charts and desktop but as we don’t 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 Freetrade’s Series B (in monetary value).

Now that Freetrade no longer has first mover advantage in a lot of countries, will you adjust Freetrade’s user acquisition strategy? And what killer product features has Freetrade got, which the others do not?

Currently, each Freetrade account is linked to an email address… and the funds can only be withdrawn to a nominal bank account, which can be changed only by submitting a bank statement via the live chat function.

For obvious reasons you can’t share the fine details of how it works, but has this security protocol ever been breached? If yes, have people been able to recover the money that was stolen (if any)? If not, what would happen if it ever occurred?

Will you be adding search and account activity filters?

Yes some clarity on where we are with the offer would be good please. Crowdcube, have communicated nothing since asking for us to indicate our response to the offer.

I would have hoped for them to have responded by now with details of the outcome and whether we were successful but nothing.

Thanks for setting this up. Would like to know a few things please:

  1. What plans are there to enhance plus with ‘non tax wrapper’ type features?
  2. Are there any plans to utilise the community stock discussions in a better way? For example it feels like you are half way there to building a public.com social investment platform with the level of stock engagement on the community already. This would be very unique from a European low/no cost broker perspective.
  3. Timelines for European stocks?
  4. Which Asian exchanges would you add first?
