Sygnia costs comes from left over shares that is small enough to buy shares. You will see there is a CASH account linked to every investment. You can track fees in that way. So the guys moving to Sygnia thinking the R25 is a ripoff ... LOL

You can rebalance those unless you ringfenced it.
 
Not a fan of EEs decision making or lack of transparency but as things stand I prefer holding actual shares for R1 per month over CFDs.
 
I've still not had any official comms regarding the fee either.

Just how abysmal are there systems?

I've got a proposal from a reputable investment house in front of me. I'm weighing up pulling my investments from EE. They're in the red, their comms are atrocious, and who knows what's going on behind the scenes. I'd rather pay more, get professional advice, and benefit from managed investments in the mix.

Ok, I am aware of the fee they introduced. Didn't think it was such a big deal.

That's not the issue. If I was actively using it I wouldn't care and would probably avoid it. But the way it's set up, it hits those that can't really pay it. I have nothing in my account besides some delisted PLG shares that can't trade so if they think they're going to screw me for credit they have a bigger chance of sucking my dick and I'll have the ombudsman on their case for unsolicited credit before you can say "thrive".

Can someone with active EE acc that you fund with your Standard W@nk account please humour me?

Back in the day transferring from your S.W@nk account to your EE account (weekdays) was legit a couple mins to reflect.

These days, it’s come across sloppy. Takes longer, a fair bit.

Is it in my head or is it a valid point?

I loaded my monthly R1 on Saturday morning. It took less than an hour to get the email from EE saying the funds were in.

What official comms are you looking for? Because:

* They have mailed
* Info on the main Thrive page
* KB article on it
* Blog post on it

Short of Charles giving you a call, I am not sure what you are looking for.

I have not received an email, or any specific notification on the platform itself.

I don't follow blogs, or randomly search KBs expecting to find updates regarding new billing.

Imagine if some half-ar5ed mail blast was used to notify clients of their life insurance being cancelled, for example?

Did you check your junk? Did you unsubscribe from their mailing lists? Did you reach out to them and ask why you never got a mail?

I am 100% with the people who are angry about them hiding the platform fee behind a loyalty program, but it's getting a bit ridiculous now.

Now we are making up scenarios not even remotely related. Not going to bother trying to reason with that

If you are unhappy, leave them. But can we move on from using this thread to announce departures?
