Trading 212 - what do we think?

  • Be very careful holding any money with Trading 212. I held my savings with them to take advantage of the Cash ISA rate. Some hackers were able to completely take over my account and steal my money even though I told T212 my account had been hacked on multiple occasions. The security is not fit for purpose. Use this platform at your own risk.

    What exactly happened?  Did you use two-factor authentication and if so, how was that compromised?  Aren't any withdrawals made to a nominated linked account of yours?

    Trading 212 now forces 2FA on accounts. Previously you could log in with your password and username, but that's no different to HL and other more traditional platforms.
