Quick question, how do you know your Share are currently being lend?
I was hopeful that we would have atleast a weekly notice. This way you could increase your holding on the chance for more lending return.
Our share lending programme is now live 
Everything with share lending happens behind the scenes so we thought it would be great to give you a sneak peak.
We are currently lending out the below shares and receiving the stated rates for the shares which are on loan. This is not a recommendation to buy. Please always do your own research. The annual rates may vary and can go down as well as up.
The rates are an annualised figure and represent the rate that we are getting on the loans right now (as of 6 September 2024).

Rates are accurate as of 6 September 2024. Remember, with share lending, yields can go up or down so the annualised yield does not represent a rate that you will get for a whole year. You can read more about share lending and the risks involved on our product page.
When you invest, your capital is at risk. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Freetrade does not give investment advice and you are responsible for making your own investment decisions. If you are unsure about what is right for you, you should seek independent advice.

I assume this is the total lending rate, and this is split 50/50 on the returns between Freetrade and customer
Exactly this is the rates borrowers are paying right now. The income generated is split with 50% to the customer and then 50% between Freetrade and our lending agent.

Would it be wild to suggest that I can sense a stock shorting product in the works. Give they now have the back end sorted for share lending and have the treasuries product for collateral.
Keeping the lending and shorting in house could be a nice internal system to balance out things.

Question on the mechanics.
When do we get paid for shares out on loan? I asked because my statement shows I had some shares loaned out at the end of September. To date, I’ve had no income from that.
I received my September earnings 15th October check your activity on the app see if you have had yours.

Hi @Anders 
Confirming @Roger’s response from yesterday. Despite the statements being generated over the last couple of days, they are only relevant for the September 1 - September 30 period.
Because of the way we receive payments from borrowers customers are only paid for September loans in October, meaning any income payments have a month delay in showing up on the monthly statements.
If you check your activity feed in your GIA / SIPP you will see account specific payments; or you can navigate to Profile → Share lending, where you will see the income paid to you across all accounts once we’ve processed these following payments from borrowers. I’d recommend using the Profile screen flow as it’s the most accurate snapshot across all your accounts 
Thanks for raising this, we’re reviewing the copy in the monthly statements to see if we can make this clearer - hope that clears things up!

Some people must have made a killing shorting energy storage trusts over the past year or two.

Probably being shorted with your own shares for peanuts
Thanks, Jachym and @Roger
My payment came through today.
I thought like this but the truth is people are going to be able to find shares to short a company without the ones I own so I decided I may as well take the “peanuts” on the grounds that some income is better than getting nothing.
