Good mention in the Metro today.
£37,000pa is not a low salary and £750pcm is (circumstantially) doable on this salary:
The median income - or 50th percentile - is £24,897 and for full-time employees it’s £30,353.
The average, or mean, earnings for a full-time worker are £37,428 per year. This is higher than the median because a relatively small number of very high earners skew the figures.
These numbers are taken from a survey of 180,000 people for the Office for National Statistics. Importantly, they do not include the significant proportion of the population that does not work - retired people, the unemployed and those not seeking work.
Thank you for the data and that’s what I see around me as well.
This person puts me to shame with his diligence to pay himself first.
Freetrade’s @Ian did not stick the knife in. It’s good that Freetrade are appearing in the press commenting on related stories.
CNBC reads Freetrade’s community forum?!
Also, not a shameless plug for Freetrade Not free PR at all Good comments from @Ian
maybe someone at CNBC reached out to the competitors for comments. it’s quite common
Great response. Feeling even more confident about Freetrade.
Freetrade come out well in the comparison. Also Holly Mackay ( from Boring Money ) said newcomer Freetrade is one to watch.
On Monday Freetrade had its highest number of new customer sign-ups in a single day. Lloyds was the most bought stock on Monday. Barclays, Aviva, and Legal & General were also highly bought.

Nice one :freetrade:.
Also - from @saf’s post:
American stocks can be traded for free at IG
Where is the catch?
I believe you have to do a set number of trades the month before…
They introduced fees of £100 per year which can be offset by making 3 standard trades each quarter at £8 per trade, or using their Robo advisor. IG’s pricing in general is more geared towards heavy trading
Freetrade gets a tiny mention.
Freetrade gets mentioned alongside Hargreaves … no mention of AJ Bell, 212 etc.
I like that
Robinhood delayed.
Revolut head of Trading left.
212 is whitelabel of Interactive Brokers and will charge for things when CFD profits decline.
This commission-free trading game might be difficult.
I’m long on Freetrade.
Do you have any source for T212 being a white label of Interactive Brokers?
That’s a wild claim.
