I contacted them and they sorted it, yes. I gave them feedback too, because to me it’s a bit of a poor experience, all they needed was an email from the same email the account was opened with
For me, Santander has the bulk (5.2%), then NatWest and RBS as much as they’ll take (6%), then a bit in Nationwide (5%???) and Premium Bonds.

T212 are a member of the FSCS though
This means that in the unlikely event Trading 212, Interactive Brokers or the bank holding your client funds were to go into liquidation, and if there was a failure to safeguard your assets, the value of your client funds and client assets held with Trading 212 is protected by the FSCS up to a maximum of £85,000.
I can’t remember but I think they use Barclays to hold funds
Since when? That’s news to me, makes them more appealing though.
Edit: that wording is very very vague. I don’t think it implies that T212 themselves are members of the FSCS but rather that their safeguarded funds are held with FSCS institutions. And we know how well safeguarding works.

I’m 99% sure it’s a case that with T212 itself is FCA authorised and FSCS protected so it covers up to £85k.
I’ve been with them a few years now and I can’t remember them not being.
Funds are held with Barclays, and the investments held with Interactive brokers (IBKR). With both it’ll be an omnibus account, and T212 database of who owns what funds and what shares.
This means that in the unlikely event Trading 212, Interactive Brokers or the bank holding your client funds were to go into liquidation, and if there was a failure to safeguard your assets, the value of your client funds and client assets held with Trading 212 is protected by the FSCS up to a maximum of £85,000. This means that your client assets and funds up to that limit will be returned to you, minus the administrators’ costs in handling these.
I moved the best part of cash to Trading 212 last week and my gf did the same yesterday.
Every morning you get a notification with how much you’ve just received. And I’m saying to myself “Good, my coffee is covered today”
As mentioned previously I have joined. One thing I just realised…does depositing cash in the ISA account to use for the debit card spending use up the subscription limit. Or rather do you top up the card separately to the ISA?
That’s a good point I didn’t consider, maybe it’ll be it’s own section or you might have to deposit into the GIA for the debit card, so you are only holding cash and it’s not taking up ISA limits.
You’d likely have to top-up the GIA account for the debit card. I don’t think the ISA is flexible so you wouldn’t want it to work on that in most cases.
