Will the trading 212 card have the ability to hold money earning 5.2% interest only in banks like the new cash isa coming out this month. Also, When is that cash isa being released?
The card is linked to your Invest account. Interest in these account types is earned through a combination of products, including QMMFs, time deposits, and current accounts.
What is a QMMFs? I activated the highest interest rate and I asked the customer assistance if that was putting my money into risk, the straight answer is yes, but I didn’t get a real explanation and I think there isn’t a way to monitor if you are losing money or not. I can only see the daily interest I receive, but I cannot see if my overall uninvested money has lowered because maybe something has gone wrong.
Also I think the communication is pretty misleading because trading 212 always reference to the money that produces interest as “uninvested money” like it wasn’t at risk, but as we said already, it is at risk. Unless you now tell me that Trading 212 guarantees you you will always get back the uninvested you deposited.
Also, I requested the Trading 212 but I never got one, I think is still not released so how can we have the kind of communication shown above?
Qualifying money market funds (QMMFs) hold mainly short-term, low-risk financial assets that aim to maintain a stable value. They’re called “qualifying” because they meet certain regulations that allow them to be considered cash equivalents, and they’re often used for the cash portion of retirement or investment accounts.
You can see your cash holdings in QMMFs and banks through the Interest on cash dashboard and in your account activity and monthly statements. Uninvested cash is any cash that you have not invested in instruments like stocks and ETFs. Even though the funds are earning interest, you can freely withdraw them to a personal account or invest in stocks and ETFs of your choice. We carefully select all QMMFs to ensure that they are highly liquid, stable in value, and maintain their highly regulated status. In addition to that, we take the steps mentioned in this article to manage the risks.
