Invest by Freetrade: the upgrade has begun

Hey Louis

We donā€™t have any plans to remove the Ā£1,000 limit, as itā€™s quite expensive for us. We will always keep trying to improve your deposit experience in other ways though.

In terms of your account being upgraded, weā€™ll drop you a message when itā€™s your turn, so stay tuned!

I dont see any difference and I didnt receive any upgrade notification :confused:

Iā€™ve just noticed that myselfā€¦ minutes as opposed to hours :slight_smile: good going FTā€¦

Made a couple of basic orders and they were processed very soon after 3pm :ok_hand:t2:

Unlikely youā€™ve been upgraded then.

I got the mass message about upgrades taking place but yet to get another message to say Iā€™ve been moved over to Invest

I however did notice my trades going through quicker today (15:45) so guessing this may have been a result of people being migrated

Iā€™ve not received any notification either of moving across to Invest. Like you though my purchase went through very quickly today ?

Is the Ā£1,000 limit an annual limit, or just a fixed limit? I hit my Ā£1,000 limit ages ago so just wondering when/if Iā€™ll get to use Apple Pay again at some point in the future

Hey Peter, the Ā£1,000 Apple Pay/Google Pay is a lifetime limit right now as itā€™s quite expensive for us.

We will keep on working to improve the overall top-up experience though.

@Freetrade_Team Do you think this may be increased for Alpha accounts?

Query, (sorry to butt in) why not just bank transfer? It normally shows really fast - even in the old system?

For people with an ISA and basic account it would be helpful to have the word ā€˜ISAā€™ in the unique ISA reference, so itā€™s obvious which code is for which accountā€¦

Great idea. Id support this to easily identify my payments in my banking app

Used a few instant trades today. No issues and works as expected.
I find that the charting and latest price is very slow to update, not sure if itā€™s due to the freqency of the updates from the API. Usually have to result to other sources of data in regards to price.

Can we have the trendlines go back the full way to the companyā€™s IPO?

Canā€™t wait to get access !!!

Still waiting to be updated to the new platform. The sooner the better please, especially as Iā€™ve just had a top up go missing and have been told it will take up to 2 days to sort out :open_mouth:

Just watching that Tesla price grow and grow, watching how much Iā€™m missing out on

How long can we expect top ups to take now? :thinking::weary:

Edit According to FAQā€™s it still takes 2-4 working hours
