I use freetrade, but check the live share prices with Hargreaves’s lansdown as prices on freetrade are delayed.

I’m having problems transferring funds into it from HSBC - might have to call the bank.Me too. Used 121 for about 4 years with no problems.
Just be aware that Revolut are not a bank so FSCS protection does not apply. I'm not sure what their share holding protection is, I assume they are independently held but it's worth finding out. I know their crypto never used to be and it was just a number on an account but I believe you can withdraw it now which means they must hold some crypto. They might not hold enough if everyone wanted to withdraw even if they are supposed to (that's something that plenty of crypto exchanges have tried to pull).I personally find Revolut brilliant for shares and crypto. They are brilliant for opening different currency accounts as well.

instead of the 100k you are trying, you have to get passed the banks algorithm of safe transfers to 'new' places so try splitting it up 4.9k first , then 9.9k , then shove the 85k in last. should workI’m having problems transferring funds into it from HSBC - might have to call the bank.
