Freetrade is a UK retail investment platform, founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, that offers commission-free investing in more than 8,600 stocks, ETFs, investment trusts, mutual funds, gilts and UK Treasury bills across four account types — a stocks and shares ISA, a Junior ISA, a self-invested personal pension (SIPP) and a general investment account — on three subscription plans (Basic at £0/month, Standard and Plus). It operates a mobile app and a web platform at web.freetrade.io, serves over 1.6 million users, and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (firm reference number 783189) as a member firm of the London Stock Exchange. Freetrade Limited (company number 09797821) was acquired by IG Group Holdings plc in April 2025 for £160m and continues to operate as an independently branded business. Freetrade publishes no public developer API, developer portal, OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/MCP contract or client SDK — a private GraphQL gateway backs its own web platform but has introspection disabled and no published schema or terms for third-party use — so its machine-readable public surface is a hand-curated llms.txt at freetrade.io/llms.txt plus an Intercom-hosted help-centre llms.txt.
