I donât think they verify the email addresses, I bet if you make a load of them up youâll be able to get yourself to #1

Probably true but Iâm not that desperate to get in 
Pretty sure it will be another app I delete in a few weeks after getting in.

They seem to have caught on now with the latest update, you need a seperate phone number and email now
Iâve signed up to the waiting list and the branding looks really nice but I donât see enough of a difference in the offering apart from multiple currencies ability to differentiate it from all the other apps.

Iâve noticed also no fx fees. Apart from that, like you say, nothing hugely different⊠I guess we will find out more in due course. They must have plans for a subscription⊠No commission and no fx fees. They need to make money somehow. 'have a website live in the coming months â
Also potentially going to limit how many trades a day you can do⊠Which makes sense if there is no fx or commission costs
Those PDT restrictions are required for US regulation, so thatâs not a commercial decision.
I imagine theyâll make most of their money from the FX fees (there are still some) and possibly share lending, they probably donât need commissions or a subscription to make money.

Theyâre likely to move faster. They just raised a decent amount of capital which is impressive at their stage.
Seems like John Lewis have partnered up with Nutmeg to provide investments via ISAs, JISAs and GIAs.
Iâve ordered online from John Lewis before so they had my details on their records - thatâs a big market base they can tap into.
Note - I wonât be opening an account with them!

It looks like there is a few hundred from the Freetrade coach party all in the queue to use their toilets and leave without buying anything! Not many people have joined behind us.

Freetrade is the future.
As Viktor said many moons ago - they will not take the quick easy route, they will build the best they can.

Itâs paywalled, what was e-toroâs justification for selling them without his permission?
Probably related to this:
But sold at $0.01 though?

The airline has to limit how many shares a non-EU person can have, due to Brexit that includes UK citizens. So eToro tried swapping the shares to the ADR but in the process the balance went negative due to a technical glitch so so they couldnât. They resolved this in 6-days.
eToro has tried to make it up with a $250 goodwill gesture but the investor says he lost out so has gone to the Financial Ombudsman.

It would be interesting to hear how Freetrade has resolved this with people who hold Ryanair shares.
You canât buy Ryanair shares on freetrade, only ADRs.
