Looks like Lightyear’s platform will include UK & EU stocks and etf’s soon - they are performing some account changes to support it.

“In preparation for adding UK and EU stocks and ETFs, we wanted to let you know that your existing Lightyear multi-currency account details are about to change.”

I see that they are expecting to make an EBITDA loss of £10.1 million for 2022 according to their pitch deck. Which works out at a loss of around £1million every 5 weeks. Is this what you meant @MohammedMohammed?

I have asked Plum on three separate occasions what their burn rate is and they won’t respond.

I would also like to add that I don’t see Plum as a competitor to Freetrade and I actually think Plum are going to sink!

Why they are doing so well? I don’t see too much marketing from their side

It’s a great product and the price is super competitive. Kind of sells itself.

Provide those facts please. Some of us are unaware

True - Total honesty Freetrade does everything I need so I don’t really need to move to Trading 212.

The only thing that really bug me is the Background Colour of the Microsoft Icon:

It should be White - Not Grey
