Trading 212 Review 2023	Trade Republic Review 2023
Review 2.3 We do not recommend Trading212. Margin requirement changes made with no notice leave traders exposed to additional risk, and a mobile app rating of just 1.1* illustrates a serious issue with user satisfaction	Review Not Yet Rated

Comment by Reviewer
"Trading212 falls short of the standards we expect from online brokers. A subpar mobile trading app and questionable changes to margin requirements have eroded user confidence. There are better alternatives for day traders."
