Freetrade - Fintech Q&A! 🤝

@Theodore

Thoughts on Revolut planning to muscle in on this space?

Not really.

@don_quixote

Also how long till the android app is out/I can get access?

Early 2019, stay tuned for the roadmap release in Jan.

@don_quixote

What do you think is the biggest threat to your business in 2019?

A no deal Brexit would slow down our ambitions of offering Freetrade across Europe.

Regarding IFTTT, if you supply the pizza, a hackathon would be awesome. “if I don’t buy Starbucks invest £2.70 in Starbucks”, “if I’m naughty and buy Nando’s again then invest £10 in my unethical fund”.

@andrewpclark

What advice would you give to the typical Monzo user about investing and why should they use Freetrade?

Get started as soon as you have extra cash to invest and keep doing it regularly. Buy, hold, buy, hold for the long term is my strategy.

If the past century is any indication, you will be much better off in the future if you develop good investing habits now.

OK folks, it’s been great and thanks for the questions! That’s all the time I have right now but if you have any more questions just hit me up on the Freetrade community forum!

Thanks for joining us @doddsie! And many thanks to @alexs for helping us set this up!

Thank you very much @doddsie for the answers to our questions! Looking forward to Q1 2019 for Freetrade - android app, etc.

Hoping to get my hands on the next crowdfunding campaign too

I’ve just gifted my spot at the front of the queue to some lucky so and so.

Happy birthday! You’re supposed to get gifts today though

[phildawson (Sorry, I will have to escalate this.)]

Does any iOS person want an account? I’m at the front but on Android. First PM with email wins, and I’ll update this post once gone.
