Following the conversation with Freetrade VP Marketing, @nickfell last week, it’s time for our second AMA of the season — and this week it’s time to talk product.
Your host this Friday will be @Duncan, Freetrade VP Product, who many of you will know from previous Community AMAs.
For those who haven’t met him yet, Duncan is somewhat of a brokerage industry veteran having spent 15 years at Hargreaves Lansdown prior to a role as Product Director at Monzo, before joining Freetrade almost two years ago.
In his time at Freetrade so far, Duncan has led a transformation in the Freetrade product and delivered major features and products such as fractional shares, the Freetrade SIPP, live pricing and many more.
Drop your questions for Duncan on the thread below and he’ll jump on here at 1 PM this Friday 5th November to answer them
Do you see the Freetrade app as the only channel for Freetrade products in the future?
I ask for two reasons: firstly, a web interface has been long discussed; and perhaps more interestingly, I’ve always thought that some form of agreement between UK fintechs working on different propositions might be more than the sum of their parts. Would you, for example, consider integrating with [insert your choice of neobank here]?
And, as a cheeky follow-up, any thoughts on open APIs to let us see our holdings in aggregator apps?
Now I know what you’re all thinking Oh no not you again, I can almost hear you sigh but it wouldn’t be an AMA if I didn’t, like The Rolling Stones, bust out an old hit that nobody asked for …
100% agreed with this. The front page graph is basically useless because my regular deposits make it always look like things are rosy, even if they aren’t. A graph like the one in the ‘Insights’ tab is what should be on the front page.
Another investment app I use dose exactly the same with the graph. I think it is cos it gives the impression that your money is always going up or up by even more than it is. Unless you know what you are look at.
