At the beginning of the week I transferred some funds via the in-app process from my linked personal bank account and the funds showed immediately.
I have followed exactly the same process this morning (x 2 - double checking!!), about 1.5 hours ago, and the funds are still not showing - is this normal?
Nope - I have tried the in-app support chat and they just keep referring me to email. I have now sent two emails one to the money@freetrade.io and one to the hello email - but the first has a response time of 1 to 2 working days and the latter has response time of 4 - 5 working days!!
So far I am NOT IMPRESSED with the service or App!!
So, I have just tried a minimum transfer via ApplePay (£10) and the money showed up instantly - so I’m confused as to why the bank transfer money is not showing…
Funds still not showing in account, email response saying
Hi Corrinna wave
Sorry to hear you had trouble topping up. disappointed_relieved
I will raise this with our partner provider and get back to you soon!
Is there anything else I can help you with in the meantime?
If the shares I’m interested in had dipped today I would have been really PO
I use bank transfer and funds are there within a couple of minutes. Perhaps it’s a problem at the bank. Did you add your FT account reference when sending?
I used the in-app transfer function and yes my account number was showing on the money leaving my linked personal bank account.
Freetrade actually sent my money back to my bank account, it was showing the next morning. I’m wondering if they are stopping people from topping-up on purpose?!?!
Glad your money turned up, even if it wasn’t where you wanted it. The only funding problem I have had was when I accidentally sent money from my unlinked account. FT found it and returned it.
I didn’t have any transfer problems last week.
So, tried £10 this morning as a test and it went straight through, so then did some more and yet again it has left my bank but not hit my FT account!!
Thought maybe because it was an issue with the free account so opened a stocks and shares ISA at a monthly fee and tried to transfer some money in and yet again it hasn’t hit my FT account!
This is ridiculous I now have £1600 floating around somewhere and no one from FT is getting back to me!
