How many users now?

As I understand it the number is generated when you have completed the signup. So you can have numbers for accounts still awaiting verification.

There was also a post last year which said the customers were xyz but ā€œaccount numberā€ was a few thousand over that figure.

I donā€™t think it matters too much though, if we just keep seeing the crowdsourced account number then we can see the trend. Just need to use the date they signed up rather than when they were verified as the two can be days apart.

Iā€™m not sure using ā€œtrade 212ā€ instead of ā€œtrading 212ā€ is a fair comparison.

Itā€™ll be a massive wake up call for the traditional online brokers that people want this business model and approach.

I am looking forward to the day I donā€™t need to compromise. All I want is to be able to invest like they do in America.

When are we expected to reach 250,000 users ?
Exciting to see these numbers considering Freetrade hasnā€™t expanded into Europe yet. Will be interesting to see where abouts in the UK most of the users are. Do they have a problem Monzo had where majority of the people where from London and the South East where they have a big community.

Greater London is by far the most populous and richest region in the UK. Itā€™s not a problem to make this your first and priority area, thatā€™s just logic. Itā€™s also the only region you really have to be strong in to thrive.

@Wulfy - A snippet of graph for you.
@furquan101 - Projection (based on polynomial trend) would be to pass 250k users sometime early in Sept 2020.

Hi Alan !

I like your graph but sadly, Iā€™m not sure it is representative.
The growth was more or less flat up until the start of the coronavirus crisis in Europe. Then, during the crisis (basically right now) we see the growth peeking from around 400 new users a day to about 1k for a few days. Then for the past month weā€™ve seen the growth slowing from 1000 to 800 to the latest 700 new users a day.

For your projection to work we badly need to get back to a point where growth acceleratesā€¦ and unfortunately, for the past year, the only time we saw that is during the current exceptionnal circumstances !
