We’re increasing our interest rates 🎉

From 1 March, we’re introducing interest on uninvested cash for Basic customers. We’re also increasing the rate that subscribers receive on their uninvested cash.

Interest will be paid out monthly. You can put it toward your next investment or withdraw it anytime.

You can read more about the change here.

Anything else I should keep in mind?

Remember: your Freetrade account is best used for investing rather than saving. Cash kept in your account should be for the purpose of facilitating trades.

Additional interest earned from cash may be retained by Freetrade. Being a commission-free platform, the additional interest will be used to cover our cash management and wider operational costs.

Want to explore other low-risk options for your cash?

Check out UK Treasury bills or our collection of Cash Investment ETFs.

When you invest, your capital is at risk. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest.

Freetrade does not give investment advice and you are responsible for making your own investment decisions. If you are unsure about what is right for you, you should seek independent advice.

The people who worked on treasury and interest rate updates did a great job!:clap:

Want a market leading rate >> go to treasury section of the app

Want your premium subscription fees covered >> keep an uninvested cash balance in the app

They didn’t deliver their own Christmas list, or did they? What happened to AI, did it finally get delivered to more users? What about the crypto stuff they went on about, or the their own NTFs? Did they deliver their own socks to all users? Is the app available in any other countries? That’s another five to add to the list of failures.

I wasn’t aware I was asking all and sundry for a list.

I was asking one person, who said they had been promised 100 things, to name them.

I don’t represent Freetrade, so please direct any angry rantings elsewhere. Thank you.
