Forum AMA with Duncan Leslie, Freetrade VP Product, Fri 5th Nov, 1 PM

Yep, there’s a change to open banking coming called ‘variable recurring payments’. Catchy :wink:

Basically this means being able to move money easily, regularly and automatically from your bank account to your Freetrade account. It’s also a whole lot less clunky and expensive than standing orders and Direct Debit. The banks have been mandated to implement this, so we’re waiting with bated breath…

That’s a great answer, which I would not have thought of!

Not sure if it would count as ‘advice’, but a “because you bought…” suggestion would be interesting for sure. Definitely good to learn off other apps, even in completely different industries.

The three big surprises?

If the ground works are laid that does mean that they could quickly access other markets soon after the European launch.

That’s right @Peter, the overall design of our apps have done us fine until now, though as we’re now currently delving into the design for the web and thinking about the future complexity of our products, we will need to make improvements.

Please keep it simple as the app is great as is :stuck_out_tongue: Adding new features whilst keeping it so user friendly must be a challenge with sooooo many requests. :rofl:
