Major Highlights of the Week

Customer Service Issues
Users experience significant delays and unresponsiveness from customer service, leading to unresolved issues and frustration. This lack of support undermines trust and satisfaction with the platform.
I added 2,500 and it disappeared after 30 minutes; support team is useless and doesn't reply.
Video Verification Frustration
The mandatory video verification process is cumbersome and inflexible, especially for users with hardware issues, causing unnecessary delays and access problems. Alternative verification methods are needed to enhance user experience.
A broken laptop webcam forced me to install the app on my phone for video verification, which was slow and frustrating.
Transfer Delays
Users face unexplained delays in fund and ISA transfers, leading to potential financial losses and dissatisfaction. The lack of transparency and efficiency in processing transfers is a critical concern.

The promo sounded great, but it was unclear and I got nothing.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The forced video verification process really needs to be re-evaluated. It's unreasonable to expect every user to have a working camera available at all times, especially when logging in should be a quick and simple task. Please take this seriously and provide more inclusive options.

Trading 212 prevents you from responding to rapidly changing market conditions. Their default expectation is that stocks won’t move much, so they don’t allow you to set limit orders reflecting actual market movements.

Would love to get notifications on the app and or a noise alert to when shares are set up or down. Even if the notification was via online screen notifications.. good app though.
