Transferring from freetrade to 212

Hi there can someone possible awnser this please.

I am looking to franfer my Isa from freetrade to trading 212. I have been told by freetrade that i have to complete a tranfer forum with new provider (Trading 212) . How do i do this ?

And also is there a cost to do this from Trading 212

Thanks

Hello :wave:

Yes, you can make a cash transfer from your current provider into a Trading 212 ISA by filling the transfer form on this page from our Help Centre :point_right: here. There are no fees applied on our side for such transfers.

Once filled, you may scan the document digitally and contact us via this form. When submitting the request, please make sure you select ā€œISA transfersā€ as the category and attach the transfer authority form.

Weā€™ll take it from there and let you know once everything is ready :raised_hands:

Hi there Momchil thank you for replying to my qestion.

Is it just cash you can tranfer over or can i transfer stocks that i hold at freetrade?

Weā€™re working on providing in-specie transfers in the future. However, for the time being, we only accept cash transfers.

Hi, I wish to transfer my stocks and shares ISA from Freetrade to Trading212. Upon reading the T&Cs and fees, I noticed that the charge for US securities is Ā£17 per holding - any idea what ā€œper holdingā€ means?

Hi, it would be best to double-check with Freetrade as well, since this is a fee they charge, but I believe ā€˜per holdingā€™ here means that if you transfer 5 TSLA shares and 10 MSFT shares, youā€™ll be charged Ā£34.

Ā£17 per holding of each US stock seems nonsensical to transfer into Trading212. I know itā€™s not necessarily Trading212 or Freetrades fee per se but it makes the cost of transfers of a portfolio too high.

Is this available now? Or do you have a date?

Can we only transfer shares to T212 not also out?
(To help consolidate positions of the same stock in one account.)

Thanks.

Currently, 40% of all users have the feature available, and weā€™ll continue enabling the option for more customers.

Both incoming and outgoing transfers are supported.

Happy Friday! Iā€™ll request an in specie transfer from FT to T212 in a few weeks, just waiting for my last lot of T-Bill to mature. I have just a few grands of cash in my FT account, so Iā€™ll transfer it via withdrawal + deposit instead of via cash portfolio transfer. Iā€™ll loose some of my ISA annual allowance, but I can put the cash to work straightaway (most important).

Any ideas how long the in specie transfer is likely to take? Not what the guides say, but based on experience :wink: Cheers

Is it possible to transfer a Freetrade general account to t212 isa account without selling shares?

It is not possible to transfer shares directly from a GIA to an ISA as shares held in a non-ISA Š°ccount are subject to taxes per HMRC guidelines. If you want to move them to an ISA, you must first liquidate them. The funds can then be transferred to an ISA but will count towards your yearly allowance.

It is the end of 2024. Are we allowed to inspice share transfers from Freetrade to Trading 212?

As of the moment, 70% of our clients have the portfolio transfers feature enabled. Iā€™ll send you a DM to check if the transfers are available for you.
