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.

Would be great if we all could get an update on the EU expansion plans. There are already 2 âneoâ brokers available in France with a similar model to FT.

From the looks of the career page, they are focusing on Sweden & the Netherlands

Does Freetrade have a licence to operate in Europe yet? It seems to be taking forever to expand outside the UK. Can they not just replicate the UK app in Europe get more funding get more staff and expand a little quicker. If they have the European Licence then I donât get why they are not getting more funding,surley the VCâs are throwing themselves at Freetrade for funding,now that everyone knows they will soon be a unicorn x2-3

Iâm going to hazard a guess that those things may not be as simple as you think. We know that freetrade were looking for a Swedish md position, which looks like itâs no longer on the careers Web page so can only assume theyâre making progress.
More info from the team would be great but I wouldnât have said theyâre doing nothing behind the scenes.
I wasnât saying it was simple,but Iâm saying they have a foundation built in the UK so can they not start from that in Europe and onboard customers and tweak things as they go along like they have done in the UK. You gota speculate to accumulate. So maybe they could start paying for the best engineers and push things along a little quicker.

Nice detective skills. The demand is there. The FT software stack and product lends itself to it, so why not ? I assume they need some sort of FCA authorization(e-money).

What does CASS mean from a trading perspective?
Itâs not the same as retail bankingâs consumer friendly acronym. CASS compliance in the broker/asset management context is principally concerned with how a firm protects its client assets and money.

I think theyâre just waiting for the CBI to grant their Irish entity a licence⊠I wonder how long that normally takes, probably about 6 months?
