Retention Tips

Before closing your Trading 212 account, remember that it's completely free — no monthly fees, no commissions on stocks and ETFs. If you're not actively investing right now, you can simply leave the account open with no ongoing cost. Trading 212 also offers an interest-earning cash account (up to 5.2% AER) on uninvested funds. Would you like to keep the account open and explore those features instead?
