Amazing work guys, just tested, works like a charm! Money appears in a fraction of a second.
Would that apply to withdrawal as well? Currently withdrawal is super slow.

Yes if you donāt click your bank and type the reference numbers in manually.
My bank Santander account is not transferred my money still long 2 hours waiting today
Thereās a slight bug in the Monzo transfer flow, when the transfer is complete and the third-party transfers back to the Freetrade app, it returns back to the screen to execute the transfer and the Continue/Cancel buttons are still active with the amount still live. The options therefore are to Continue, which will try and repeat the Top Up, or Cancel, which does not feel intuitive and leaves you thinking the transfer may not have gone through.
I tried it today and it was incredibly fast. Even before I closed my banking app, I already received a notification from Freetrade. This is really good compared to the long waiting times before.

Tried it this week. Was super speedy, with the added safety of auto switching to my banking app allowed me to verify before transfer completed. Just a shame the final step goes through the true layer web app, but I guess that is a side effect of using open bankingā¦
Transferred some money yesterday from my Santander account and still not arrived in my Freetrade accountā¦ instant bank transferā¦ taking longer than before

@ZeroAlpha Dan, has your money arrived? Have you checked the details you entered?
Transfer seems to work within a few seconds for me.
Yes I didā¦ and itās still not there
Forgive me if this has been asked previously:
If we top-up into the ISA today and tomorrow (4th & 5th) will this account for this tax year? Or do āworking daysā account for the top up?
Tnx
The transfers are real-time without any manual intervention so itāll count towards 2020/2021 ISA if youāve havenāt maxed out your ISA and if so then itāll just be deposited in to your GIA and youāll get a similar message from Freeda.

Not on mine it didnāt!
Transfered today, money out my account and nothing arrived on my FT account.
Really 
Yes, but what you donāt mention is that its the first time you have done a bank transfer to FT. FT do state that the first time you do a bank transfer it could take some time to arrive. Subsequent transfers should then be immediate.

Define sometime ?!?
Bank transfers take 3-5 working days, thatās standard. And it should only be the once. Withdrawing is far more painful 
For BACS perhaps, not for Faster Payments.
The account details that Freetrade provide for non-Open Banking payments supports Faster Payments so assuming that a users account does too (and Iām not aware of any personal current account that doesnāt), then it actually lands in Freetradeās account usually within minutes, and 2 hours at most.
