Best broker app by far

I’ve had an excellent experience with Trading 212. The app is exceptionally well designed, with a clean, intuitive UI that makes investing feel simple without compromising on functionality. I particularly love features like Pies, which make it incredibly easy to build and manage a diversified portfolio, as well as the clear and well-presented performance metrics. It’s easy to understand how your investments are performing at a glance, which is something many other platforms struggle to get right. The fees are also very competitive, making Trading 212 particularly attractive for long-term investors. The combination of low costs, excellent functionality, interests paid daily on uninvested cash and a genuinely user-friendly experience makes it the best investing platforms I’ve used. Overall, a fantastic app that keeps adding useful features while remaining incredibly easy to use. Highly recommended for both beginners and more experienced investors.

Good Shares ISA

Have used a zero fee competitor. Trading 212 beats them for speed of deposits and withdrawals. They also charge a lower fee for currency conversions. Transfer in of a cash ISA was efficiently handled. Make sure you use instant bank transfers, rather than cards or ApplePay for deposits. Cards work fine until you exceed a lifetime total deposit of £2000 (after which they have a 0.7% fee).

Great for nervous newbie investors

I have been very pleasantly surprised at the good selection of ETF’s and company shares available on this platform. Armed with a little information gleaned from you tube videos I found the site simple to navigate and the purchasing tools very easy and intuitive. I can place an instruction to sell or purchase at a particular price point which I really like. I can track prices on my own investments and also monitor other potential investments. My only regret is that I didn’t sign up sooner.

Fantastic investment platform

Fantastic platform for the passive investor or active stock picker. Low fees, easy to use app and plenty of account options. Would love to see Junior ISAs/Junior SIPPs at some point. I’ve been using Trading 212 for a couple of years now and would thoroughly recommend them!

Frequently asked questions

What is uninvested cash?

Uninvested cash is any cash that you have not invested in instruments like stocks and ETFs. Uninvested cash is held in banks and QMMFs. Learn more about QMMFs below.

How does it work?

Enable interest on cash and start receiving daily interest on the cash in your account.

Which account types are eligible for interest?

All accounts are eligible for interest.

What are the current interest rates?

In the app, tap on 'Earn Interest on cash', and you will find the current interest rates. You can also see our terms and fees.

Are there any min or max balance requirements to earn interest?

There are no minimum or maximum balances requirements.

How do I enable the interest?

Login to your account, tap on 'Earn Interest on cash', follow the instructions and tap the 'Enable' button. You'll need to consent to having your cash held in qualifying money market funds (QMMFs).

What if I don't want to earn interest?

You can disable at any time via the 'Interest on cash' dashboard in your app.

How does Trading 212 hold my cash to earn this interest?

As we’re not a bank, we use a mixture of products and vehicles such as qualifying money market funds, time deposits, and current accounts. This is why it’s mandatory to accept QMMFs to receive interest.
You can see how your cash is held at any time from your interest on cash dashboard. This data’s updated once per day at midnight and is based on your settled cash balance. Learn more about settled cash balances here.

What's a qualifying money market fund (QMMF)?

A qualifying money market fund holds mainly short-term, low-risk financial assets, aiming to maintain a stable value. These funds are designed to be low-risk places to keep your cash while earning a bit of interest, and they're often used for the cash portion of retirement or investment accounts. They're called "qualifying" because they meet certain regulations that allow them to be considered as cash equivalents.

Who uses QMMFs?

Pension funds, insurance funds, banks, and other major financial institutions.

These institutions typically use QMMFs to hold large amounts of money. Over €1 trillion is held in QMMFs in Europe and over $6 trillion in the USA as of January 2024.

How is the daily interest payment calculated?

Daily interest payments are calculated using the industry standard AER formula:

(1+r/n)^n - 1, where
  • r = interest rate
  • n = compounding frequency (365.25 days)

We use 365.25 days to account for leap years.
Example
USD AER = 5%
USD cash balance = $1,000
  • Daily payment (DP) = Cash balance * [(1 + AER) ^ 1/365.25 - 1]
  • DP = $1,000 * [(1 + 0.05) ^ 1/365.25 - 1]
  • DP = $1,000 * (1.05 ^ 1/365.25 - 1)
    • 365.25th root of 1.05 = 1.00013358
  • DP = $1,000 * (1.00013358 - 1)
  • DP = $1,000 * 0.00013358
  • DP = $0.13358

How often do I get interest?

Interest payments are made daily, rounded down to the nearest cent. Amounts below 0.01 are carried forward.
If the daily interest falls below a 0.01, it will accrue until reaching a 0.01 or more, at which point it will be paid.

Do I have to pay taxes on the earned interest?

This depends on your tax residency and the type of account you hold with us. This is not personal tax advice and in case of doubt, you should contact a tax advisor or the relevant tax authorities. In summary:
  • If you are an ISA account holder, your interest does not suffer any withholding tax and you do not owe any additional tax.
  • If you are a UK tax resident, and depending on your personal circumstances, you may need to pay tax (via your personal tax return) or may be eligible for a refund of tax. You will need to contact HMRC directly with any specific taxation questions as we are unable to offer personal tax advice.
  • If you are a non-UK tax resident, and depending on your personal circumstances, you may need to pay additional tax, while your ability to receive a refund will depend on whether there is a double taxation treaty between the UK and your country of residency. In both cases, you should contact the relevant tax authorities with any queries.

Which currencies earn interest?

In the app, tap on 'Earn Interest on cash' and you'll find which currencies earn interest. You can also find them on our terms and fees page.

What happens if I don't opt in for the higher interest?

If your account's opened prior to 11.12.2023, you will continue receiving interest until 12.02.2024. If you want to receive interest after this date, you'll need to enable it manually from the dashboard.

Is my money still protected?

Where we hold your money with a bank, you are protected by the FSCS up to a limit of £120,000. Learn more about how your money is protected here.

Money placed with a QMMF is treated as an investment and not as money held with a bank. In the unlikely event that the QMMF fails to maintain their low-risk strategy, as with any investment, the protection will not be available. We carefully select all QMMFs to ensure that they are highly liquid, stable in value and maintain their highly regulated status.

Can QMMFs go down in value?

If a QMMF in which your cash is invested in goes down in value, this may affect the value of your uninvested cash held in the QMMF. However, to manage this risk, we select only high-quality QMMFs and we monitor them frequently. Learn more about the risks of QMMFs and how we manage them here.

How much of my money is held in QMMFs?

You can see your cash holdings in QMMFs and banks through the app's interest on cash dashboard, and in the 'Cash in banks' and 'Cash in QMMFs' sections of your account activity and monthly statements.

How often do interest rates change?

Interest rates are based on rates we receive from the banks and QMMFs we hold your cash with. These rates are based on the central banks' rates, like the Bank of England's base rate. If the central bank rate changes, you can expect a change in the interest on cash.
