Quick review
Wondering whether Trading 212 is worth it beyond the bonus? Here is our honest take.
One of the most popular commission-free investing apps in the UK, with millions of users and FCA cover. It runs a free share offer on and off through the year, and the app is worth opening anyway for fractional shares, a free ISA and interest on uninvested cash.
Chris' verdictYour personal guide, QuidsyTrading 212 is one of my favourite recommendations for anyone wanting to dip their toes into investing. The free share offer makes it a no-brainer: deposit £1, get a share worth at least £8, and you're up from day one. The app is genuinely good for everyday use too, with commission-free trading and fractional shares making it easy to invest small amounts regularly.
The 30-day hold period before you can withdraw is the only downside, but it's a small price to pay for free money.
A Cash ISA deposit does not count towards the offer
Leave your £1 in the account for at least 7 days after the share lands. Taking it out sooner means Trading 212 can take the share back
You can sell the share straight away, but cash withdrawal is available after the hold period
