Revolut introduce commission free trading from today

01-08-2019 1:39pm#1Hi all. It seems the old revolut threads are very old and very not relevant. So I figured I'd pop this here if the mods don't mind. Revolut have introduced commission free trading for metal customers from today and will roll out to Premium and Standard over the next month or so. Here are a few points I have been able to glean.
- You can invest as little as 1 dollar in an iteminsed amount of a stock.
- Obviously you get no voting rights for that, but you will (probably according to them) get your portion of the dividend.
- It is done through US brokerage DriveWealth
- It is American Stocks for the Nasdaq and NYSE
- Metal customers will get 100 free trades per month, Premium 8, Standard 3.
- You are limited to 1,000 dollars per trade right right now but they want to increase it.
- Currently there are no fees and no commission, but they will introduce a small fee in future (0.01% I think).
A metal plan costs 14 a month or so. A premium plan costs 9 I think. Obviously those come with all the other Revolut Perks (increased limits, cash withdrawals, travel insurance, fancy cards, etc etc etc). I think you can get metal by doing a certain number of referrals per month. I assume anyone posting here has an account already but if not there are two things to note.
1: Vodafone are currently giving any PAYG customer or Billpay customer €5 or €10 free respectively if they open a revolut account and top up.
2: If you do sign up, ask a mate for their referral code to be sound, if not feel free to pm me.
I have metal already - so if anyone has any specific questions about the commission free trading / want to see documents / screenshots let me know.

Bitcoin is up hundreds of percent since the beginning of the year.
Revolut is a terrible place to buy crypto though when you factor in their huge hidden fees and the ridiculous market rates and spreads between buy and sell prices for BTC etc.We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

Just did a partial order of a stock to test, now the proud owner of 0.62 shares of HUBS @ $160.45. It executed at market price and instantly. I like that you can enter a $ amount to spend and it auto calculates the amounts of shares - a feature that Degiro doesnt have (and should in my opinion). Quite impressed I have to say.
The selection is quite restricted, for example it has very few REITS. I wanted to buy some BRK.A just to feel like a big hitter, but unfortunately that isnt one of them

You do realise that legally you own no shares and in the event of a Lehman type meltdown you will be unable to recover your holdings as they will be indistinguishable for any other holdings, right?0 -
