Tip: it's possible to max the Santander Edge Saver (£4k @ 7%) and not pay any fee. This is achieved by simply not setting up any direct debit on the associated Edge current account.

@Mazwell96 2 месяца назад

but i thought you only open the saver by having an edge current account, the edge current account requires 2 direct debits and a £3 monthly fee

@adrianl5899 2 месяца назад

@@Mazwell96 You definitely need to have an Edge current account in order to open the Edge Saver. However, you don't have to have direct debits on the Edge current account if you don't want to. With no direct debits, you won't pay a fee (and obviously don't earn cashback on direct debits, since you have none). All 3 adults in my family do this, as do countless people on Moneysavingexpert (where I learnt to do it). The previous Santander offering worked exactly the same before Edge came about, and it still works.

@adrianl5899 2 месяца назад

@@Mazwell96 My reply seems to have disappeared. Anyway, the terms of the Edge current account say they'll start charging the current account fee when you meet the criteria for cashback... so if you never set up direct debits on the Edge current account then they don't charge a fee and you can still use the associated Edge Saver. If anyone does join them via the switch incentives though, which often stipulate DD do need to be switched in, then that's different.

Depends on what you mean by protected. You either put your money into Stocks. This can go up or down. Or leave it as "Cash".

As someone holding a Trading 212 stocks and shares ISA, but also a novice, I would say the answer is no. You transfer money to Trading 212 and it sits there. If you haven't signed up to the 5.2% interest discussed in this video then you get zero interest. If you do sign up, then you are liable for tax if you go over the interest earned threshold. As soon as you invest the money into the stocks and shares ISA, your profits from that are tax free. Just be aware that if you buy UK shares you pay 0.5% stamp duty at the time of purchase. Blame HMRC not Trading 212. If you buy USA shares then there are different charges for money exchange. Trading 212 sort all this out for you and it is really easy.

I appreciate you are not an investing channel, but if I might add, a lot of money market funds are currently paying closer to 5.5%. This is essentially a MMF with poor terms.

They do not pay HMRC as there is no requirement to or agreement between T212 and HMRC to collect tax on their behalf. If T212 are telling you they do, it needs investigating when you get a tax bill. I had my tax code adjusted because no bank or savings provider pays your tax for you in the UK. They INFORM HMRC how much interest you make as that IS a legal requirement. It's for the person to pay tax, so I would send your evidence about T212 to FCA for urgent investigation.

I'm thinking to put some cash in stocks, I was at Salt Shack and i overheard some friends saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?

@WelsonDas-wm4it Месяц назад

Off course, but Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.

@IsabellaEmilyWelson Месяц назад

Agreed, It's essential to diversify your portfolio. While quality stocks are a solid foundation, you should also consider other assets to spread risk. Thankfully, I can attest to the success of this approach aided by professional guidance seeing my portfolio of $330k grow by 15% this year alone... maybe you should do the same.

Hello all .. can someone help me please .. what interest can i exoect if i put, say £10,000, in a 212 trading account for say a period of 30 days? Thanking you in advance

@Andy-si1pl 29 дней назад

about £43 (in 12 months you would get £520 on £10000 at 5.2% so divide that £520 by 12) T212 will tell you how much daily interest you can expect for the amount you put in

Good question! As it's not a savings account then I don't think it's liable for PSA tax. It may be liable under the dividend allowance tax though as the money is actually being invested in a Money Market Fund.

Hey mate, I have maxed my T212 ISA every year and have a large sum of cash in my personal bank account earning pretty much nothing. This cash is intended for a house but this purchase may come a month or a year from now, so I'm wondering whether it makes most sense to open a T212 general investment account, deposit the cash and earn 5.2% on it and then simply withdraw when the cash is required? Appreciate your views, thanks.

@moderndroneman 2 месяца назад

That’s what I’m doing. Just be mindful that the tax free interest allowance in the UK is £500 for higher rate taxpayers so you will be taxed on interest if you have more than £10k in cash savings. Also withdrawals can take up to 3 business days.
