MEGATHREAD: European expansion 🇪🇺

I think Sweden is a failed vanity project at this point.

We all hope that’s still true.

These 5 volunteers will get 400 sek. Thats about £30 to invest with.

When can I expect English language pan European app to start rolling out across multiple countries?

Based on the most recent information provided by Freetrade during the last crowdfunding round, the European app is anticipated to be released by the end of 2024 only if they successfully secure an additional institutional investment of 35 million.

However, if they do not reach the 35 million target, the release might be delayed until 2025 or later…unfortunatly :frowning:

Hi @FRusso

We’ll update when we have anything significant to say. The team is focused on building our community of users in Sweden at the moment.

Best,
Alex

Let’s give poor @acamp a break. We bombarded him over the recent update. Now we’ve moved on to the Swedish issue.

Hi :dizzy:
Thanks for your questions about our Swedish expansion. I thought I could take the chance to relieve @acamp of a bit of the pressure :joy:
As you know following our soft launch in 2023, we focused as a business on reaching profitability. That meant scaling back the resources we dedicated to Sweden.
Since I joined, I’ve started growing our customer base month-by-month through scrappy and low-cost tactics. Speaking with customer here, I know that local retail investors are desperate for a challenger to the “big two” that is properly localised.
You can keep up with things in Sweden for Freetrade by following us on Instagram and LinkedIn.

Great to see your post. Could I ask, do Swedish customers have their own user number or is it the same number system as for the UK? :grin:

hi @Wulfy
All customers have a unique identifier in our platform. The user experience is different but the platform is the same :slight_smile:

Hi @EmmaOdqvist
Since the launch of Bank ID, has there been any meaningful uptick in Swedish users?

You mention that retail investors are ‘desperate for a challenger’ but the lack of Swedish users shows that they don’t see Freetrade as the answer. Why is that?
