Who Is the Big Revenue Generator?
Trading 212 offers both contracts for differences (CFDs) and stock trading. While its CFD income comes from market making, spreads, and overnight financing, the company earns only from forex conversion and, partly, from interest on invested cash under its zero-commission stock trading model.
Out of the total revenue, almost £257 million came from trading, while the remaining £20.6 million was generated from client interest income. It also earned £1.68 million from its debit cards.
It, however, did not specify how much of the total revenue came from the legacy CFDs business and how much from its newly focused stock trading offerings.
