Hello,
I love the app and the opportunities it gives to invest in international stocks. I get very excited about dividends in my GIA, I wish they weren’t automatically FX’d back to GBP. Ideally I would like to have the option to have them paid into a little USD dividend cash pot that I can then reinvest. Is that something that would be viable?
One of the main ways that FT support your ability to trade for ÂŁ0 per trade is the small FX cost (0.45%).
I’m afraid this would be a case of not being able to have it all.

I suppose the better question might be to ask how much are you willing to pay for a USD account?

Or where do you think Freetrade should move the “charges” to so they are a viable company? You can guarantee people would then say why can’t this bit be better/cheaper? The current way means it is free to trade but if you swap currency they make a tiny bit on the change. 
This model means the platform is true in that you can trade for free in the UK and next to free for elsewhere.
