We’re building a team with diverse and unique perspectives in order to help us on our mission to demystify investing, making it more accessible.

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

In 2024, we’ll be launching across the EU, following our successful launch in Sweden and our new office in Budapest. We’ll also be transforming our product, developing new features and introducing new products. 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.
