Our goal is to help our customers achieve better, long-term financial outcomes.

In the UK, we now have over 1.6m registered users, offering a range of products like the Freetrade Pension, a stocks and shares ISA, and our premium plan, Freetrade Plus. We'll be continuing to transform our product, developing new features and introducing new products.
