Hi :wave: Without the need for any deep details, but I was wondering how Trading212 makes money to survive as a company? I think it’s a very valid question especially to who is building a long-term portfolio. :slightly_smiling_face: Many thanks.

I think mostly from cfd accounts looses, that’s how it was before free instant trades and free isa account, there is also some tiny inactivity fee after half year without orders on your account but does it give enough money to them hard to say. The best would be to wait for answer from one of team m…

I would assume they might make interest on the uninvested balances of free cash in users accounts like a lot of platforms do. But I would have to agree that the CFD losses are likely to be rather substantial considering the large percentage of people who lose money over making it.

Spread is with every transaction.

@Ivan Are there any plans for a T212 listing for those who would like to invest in the platform? Or would such a thing not make much sense or provide reasonable benefits to be deemed viable?

Thanks for being so honest Ivan. I am considering opening an account with you for the very long term. I understand you generate revenue from CFDs but, it this sustainable? CFD is now heavily regulated in the EU and even forbidden in the US. Do you see Trading 212 still making money from CFDs in 20…

[image] Ivan: In the future, we will introduce additional features for the Invest and ISA accounts which will be paid. Any ideas as to what these features will be?

Could T212 introduce withdrawal and selling fees to their customers without prior notice?

No. They need to give at least 1 months notice

It appears not? [image] Is there an inactivity fee? If you decide to leave your account inactive for a certain period of time, we'll not be charging you any inactivity fees or whatsoever.

Yes now there is no inactivity fee anymore

Thank you, that was what I thought, which is why they are moving into lending securities through their new provider.
