Trading 212 increased group revenue by 70% to £345.8 million in 2025, according to accounts its holding company filed with Companies House on September 28. Pre-tax profit more than doubled to £127.7 million from £59.6 million.
The accounts consolidate Trading 212 Group Limited and its six licensed subsidiaries in the UK, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Germany, Australia and Ireland. The entities outside the UK generated about £68 million, or roughly one pound in every five the group earned.

Profit after tax rose to £93.9 million from £43.8 million. Trading 212 offers zero-commission share dealing, cash savings and contracts for difference (CFDs) through a single app.
The UK Unit Brings in Four-Fifths of Revenue
Trading 212 UK, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), contributed £277.6 million, up 72% from 2024. Those figures matched the subsidiary’s own accounts, which showed UK profit more than doubling when they were filed in April.
A year earlier, the UK unit reported £161.7 million in revenue while doubling its advertising budget to £39.5 million.
The Cypriot entity, Trading 212 Markets, was the second-largest contributor at £64.4 million, up 59% from the prior year. It is supervised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).
The German unit, Trading 212 EU, added £2.7 million. The group bought it as FXFlat Bank and changed its name in February 2026. The Australian and Bulgarian subsidiaries reported £0.4 million and £0.7 million respectively.
Trading 212 Markets (Ireland) received its Central Bank of Ireland license on December 1, 2025, and booked no revenue in the year.
How the Figures Compare With UK Rivals
Among London-listed brokers, IG Group reported record total revenue of £1,123.4 million for calendar 2025, with net trading revenue up 10%.
Plus500, which reports in dollars, posted 2025 revenue of $792.4 million and EBITDA of $348.1 million.
CMC Markets, whose financial year ends in March, earned £101.3 million before tax on net operating income of £392.6 million.
Freetrade, the commission-free app IG Group bought in 2025, grew revenue 10% to £31 million last year while its pre-tax loss widened to £24.4 million.
Interest Income Moves Into Revenue
The new accounts put 2024 revenue at £204.0 million, compared with the £194.1 million the group reported a year ago. The 70% growth rate is calculated against the restated figure.
The change follows a policy to present interest earned on uninvested client money, and interest paid to clients on it, as a net figure within revenue in every group entity, the notes to the accounts say. Profit for 2024 was unchanged.
On that basis, net client interest income made up £20.0 million of 2025 revenue and trading revenue £325.8 million.
In share dealing, the group earns from currency conversion fees, part of the interest on uninvested cash and stock lending, while CFD income comes mainly from spreads and overnight financing, according to the filing.
Headcount, Clients and Trading Volumes
The group employed an average of 722 people in 2025, up from 422. Staff costs rose to £45.9 million from £27.8 million.
Funded accounts rose 64% and average monthly active users 86%, while the combined value of client money and assets grew 137% year on year, the directors’ report said. The annual report gives no trading volumes.
Estimates by FM Intelligence put Trading 212’s average monthly trading volume at $681 billion in the second quarter of 2026, or about $31 billion a day. The figures come from the FM Intelligence broker volumes tracker, which covers reported and estimated flow at retail FX and CFD brokers.
The board paid £20.0 million in dividends during 2025 and a further £34.3 million on August 27, 2026. Two individual shareholders each own 50% of the holding company, according to the filing.
Hedging Moves to the Irish Unit
After the year ended, the group moved its CFD hedging and its systematic internalizer function for share dealing to the Irish subsidiary. The transfer was completed in May 2026, and the UK and Cypriot entities sold down their stock inventories as part of it.
The restructuring is intended to provide “greater execution efficiency and more robust market risk mitigation,” the directors wrote in the annual report.
Trading 212 UK received FCA permission for a self-invested personal pension (SIPP) on February 26 and launched it in May, six years after it first said it planned one.
In Australia, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) cleared the local unit on June 16 to offer CFDs to Australian residents.
