FT share price - IG agrees to acquire Freetrade 2025

Yeah I can vouch for that having an enjoyable experience. Still waiting for my transfer though

Also finding T212 easy to use, no snags at all.
The transfer process was a concern, so I just sold my FT ISA holdings, withdrew the cash and then reinvested over on T212. My portfolio isn’t large enough to be worth messing about.
So far I’m finding -

  • Deposits process faster
  • The interface/graphics took some getting used to, and I’d prefer to change some if I can (maybe I just haven’t worked out how yet?)
  • Love the Pies!
  • The community isn’t as responsive to daft questions as here, and isn’t as easy to find answers.

When I deposit in freetrade I literally get a notification 2 or 3 seconds later saying it’s arrived.

For me, FT takes over an hour to deposit. T212 is there in under a minute at most.
I guess it’s down to variables like banks and stuff.

My transfers are instant aswell straight into trading when money’s are in

From today’s IGG RNS:

Update on the acquisition of Freetrade

Freetrade has continued to trade well with performance tracking in line with the Group’s expectations.

The Group is pleased to announce that it has received key antitrust and change in control approvals for the acquisition which is now expected to close in April 2025, sooner than originally guided.

I have heard freetrade adverts on the radio the last few days so the brand still being pushed.

I assume it’s pre paid anyway

That’s great news and considering markets.

There are also lots of adverts on the tube in the run up to ISA season and with the new-ish branding.
