Trading 212 is a popular commission-free broker founded in 2004 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It combines real, commission-free stock and ETF investing with CFDs on forex, indices and commodities, all delivered through its own web and mobile apps.
The firm is regulated by the UK's FCA, Cyprus's CySEC and the FSC in Bulgaria.
Trading takes place exclusively on the proprietary Trading 212 web and mobile platforms — there is no MetaTrader or cTrader — with an instrument range spanning forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs and crypto CFDs. The account can be opened with a minimum deposit of just £1, and retail leverage on major FX pairs is capped at 1:30 under the FCA and CySEC.
