How about a monthly fee to Trading212

Sorry dude, but they earn what we lose. And of late, that’s been a heck of a lot for a number of us. Don’t forget, they’ll also earn interest on our money, held in separate account… Nice little earner, I’m sure.

I KNOW I’m being pessimistic and that you mean well, but my bridges have been burnt.

1.5m profit, as you say, is a LOT. Very much could be done with that money.

We’ll publish it in a couple of days. You will see that nothing changes for you but it will be a major step for our sustainability. Unlike other brokers, we are not planning to package essential investing/trading features into a paid subscription plan in order to generate revenue. We’ll keep adding features for free!

I am not aware of any fintech able to base its business model on subscription fees. Many have tried and failed. The European neobanks already have millions of customers but they are all losing money.

Even for Robinhood which has 13 million customers, the subscription fees are not a substantial source of revenue - they reported total revenue of $60M in March, compared to just $20M one year ago.

Obviously the future of these companies lies in other services they hope to monetise, not in their current subscription model. But it is convenient to have a ready answer to the question “how do you make money”.

Trading 212 is committed to a fee-free business model and profitability that does not charge clients just to possess an account. This won’t change no matter how many times someone makes a topic claiming they “would be fine with paying for T212”. If you were fine paying fees for an account, you would not have looked for a platform like Trading212 in the first place.

T212 have been in business for 15years+ and remain debt-free and profitable.

@UVIRE CFD they are profitable, you don’t need to be concerned about that. your concern while well intentioned, is unfounded. T212 have a business plan moving forward and your suggestion would go against the very first offering of their business model. see:

This topic has run its course, again, and to continue it would not be of any practical benefit to anyone as further posts are likely to go off-topic.
