On track for 1m members in November. Are we too far out to be guessing the date and time of the millionth user…? :thinking:

I don’t think we will be in EU territories at any scale before we hit 1m U.K. members. Perhaps mid November but I’d be amazed if it’s before.

Just trying to raise a bit more awareness of FT.

Noice. Tracking at slightly higher daily rate of approx 1.6k for the past 7 days. Pretty much 3 months out from the magic 1,000,000.

What should be the prize for the 1,000,000th new user? :thinking:

I thought odd that II is the 2nd biggest trading platform in the UK with over 400k and FT has more than double the customers but never gets mentioned in the ā€œbiggest listsā€. I wonder where it sits compared to others?

I do wonder how many of the signed up numbers are either people who signed up to get a free share and that is it or did it as a youtuber told them to then gave up? My guess is a lot and I know 3 people who got partners to deposit for both to get a free share so those 2md accounts never got used after.

So my question is does anyone have any links to comparison stats of UK brokers?

We don’t know how many users are active vs signed up. Nor average rev per user. I guess those metrics would be helpful to say they are second biggest broker by numbers…? That said it would be great publicity.

Yep, it sure would. It surprises me how un-often FT gets mentioned as surely it is bigger than II in user numbers :stuck_out_tongue: Would be great to see the UK ones by many metrics.
