Ha. Yes. I assume that was a typo for priority 1 …certainly hope so. I believe FT have always said they will provide a local currency account for go live
Hey, pls expand to Austria aswell. looking for weeks now for good apps to trade with. but couldnt find any good ones.
Any idea for the Freetrade PLUS version that will be offered to European investors?
Would the Plus package stay the same as it is now?
Currently Stocks and shares ISA are offers as part of the PLUS offer. However, as European people we may not have access to the ISA shares. So this kept me thinking…
Probably a question for Boris or Rishi first?
Any update on the status of the European license?
Any update on the local products to be included in the first wave of expansion?
Thanks
I’ll be moving to Spain within the next two years so expansion into the Spanish Market would benefit me greatly. Also there’s not a lot of options available to Spanish investors at the moment so I think there’s a good strong market for FT to get into.
I’m an FT+ customer too so of you offered that product too that would be even better.
Dear Freetrade,
This year I wish you to launch in Poland
I love the very generic nature of your user name
Sweden first, since that’s where the base will be.
I love their persistence! Freetrade please launch in Poland
Waiting :freetrade: in Italy since 2018! Please, launch in !!
Please launch in every country on planet earth
Soon Mars (Oh how I would like to invest in SpaceX on FT ).
(to keep on topic: please launch in Portugal too !
Hi @Viktor and the Freetrade Growth team!
There seems to be a few folks here in the forum who live in the countries you’re about to foray into. I suspect a few of them could leverage their networks to help make Freetrade a success in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Sweden.
The trick would be to reach out to them where they’re most likely to answer (i.e. email) and list very specific asks (e.g. “country launcher candidate referral”, “intro to media xyz”). Given the size of this community I think this could yield great results!
Are Freetrade also planning on launching country & lanaguage specific community forums. This forum is UK orientated and I would want it to stay that way.
Is it known if EUR accounts will be available at launch? Or even USD like Robinhood’s (now delayed/cancelled) launch in UK?
And will Freetrade allow to use a EU account (E.g. NL) for another EUR-country?
I believe this is how Belgians are using Degiro at the moment. Taxes were initially taken care of by the investor, not the broker.
Uk oriented as in talking about taxes? I think Welcome to www.non.uk stocks could be interesting. They get less attention and if a UK-based user might see interesting opportunities in buying those stocks. But I think fiscal stuff should go in a specific subforum per country
I was referring to the userbase of this forum as it is predominantly UK investors. I love talking about stocks worldworld but yes a sub-forum for country specific issues would be good for each Euro nation and in a language which is native to them.
Trade Republic (German FT) just announced its launch in France:
Would be great if we all could get an update on the EU expansion plans. There are already 2 “neo” brokers available in France with a similar model to FT.
