Yeah CFDs are something you really need to know what you are doing or seen as gambling. I don’t fully understand them but the banner warnings of ‘76% of people lose money’ were enough to make me decide I would just avoid them
Least with 212 the CFD account seems to be separate thing to the GIA and ISA, unlike eToro where the GIA and ability to buy CFDs are one thing.
Has anyone received an ‘invitation to apply’ email yet?
I was reasonably quick in getting off the mark and getting my name on the waitlist, but haven’t heard anything yet.
Given that the end of March is only a couple of days away and none of those is a working day, I would have expected the email roll-out to have begun.
Has the message changed? It says ‘coming in March 2024’.
I have been switched to their new layout so can’t even see the option for the card anymore
The card option is still visible for me on the bottom-of-screen dashboard of the GIA account .
There is a fee if you want a physical card.
Won’t be getting It then.
The monzo platform definitely has something to offer with the ease of use and simplicity but I can’t get past how much they charge in fees
What do you mean?
There is an element of chance when you sell, this goes for all shares.
I quite like 212 so far. The fees for Monzo put me off but I do like the simplicity. I only use a couple of global ETFs on 212
Anyone had any sign of the Trading 212 Card?
I’ve never had any of those.
Well, March has come and gone with no invitation email for me.
I wonder just how long this is going to take now?
T212 have “ready made” pies now, will look into allocating some ISA funds to this in the new tax year (when you can have multiple stocks and shares ISAs)
I would recommend a YouTube channel and website called PensionCraft. It covers all things stocks, shares and ETF related. It’s very good.
Just got my invite…choice between virtual card or physical card. Chose physical. Had to pay a fee for manufacturing and delivery. Has to also have money in T212 Invest account (separate to ISA). Now we wait. Money in account and cannot spend on card physically as no card and no Apple Pay. Have got card details to spend online.
Curve?
Maybe…I don’t use curve. The virtual card seems to be online only, so I ordered the physical card. They let you view the physical card details immediately so you can use for online purchases. Virtual cards are free and ready for immediate use. I assumed I’d have to order a physical card then if I’d want to use in-store. I guess maybe curve could bridge that gap
Can’t you add the virtual card to gpay?
