Freetrade Competitors

Can a large legacy company can just copy what a fast moving start up can do. It’s been seen many times that you can’t just copy the features of the challenger and suddenly poof the challengers melt.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t describe FT as a fast-moving startup ATM. There have been about 2 new features all year.

Erm …

Fast

intransitive verb

  1. To abstain from food.
  2. To eat very little or abstain from certain foods, especially as a religious discipline.

I didn’t see a single vegetable in the whole office, just Pizza and Beer!

If features were food, FT has been on Ramadan all year! I checked back through my app messages the only 2 things released were live pricing and instant bank transfers.

Hear what you’re saying but I’m sure it was possible for you to get your point and views across without resorting to playground-type language.

By the way, welcome to the forum but you seem to be very familiar with the forum, so I’m guessing this isn’t your first time here.

The issue has seldom been about what you say it’s always been about how you say it. I don’t feed trolls.

No mention of what the fees may be :eyes:

"You always pay zero Euros per transaction. How can we offer this? nextmarkets, like any other online broker, receives rebates from stock exchanges where your orders are executed. "

Looks like they use the PFOF based model which the EU are banning

Why are they always based in somewhere a bit suspect? Lightspeed = Estonia, T212 = Bulgaria & Next Markets now Malta.

That said they have EU fractions & Desktop app so have a good offering.

@NeilB Estonia has a pedigree. Excellent Software infrastructure. Didn’t Transferwise i.e. Wise get started there?

Anything in particular that makes them a bit ‘suspect’ ?
