Why do I need to wait 24 hours after opening an account before I can make an investment?

If you have just opened a new account on the platform you will need to wait 24 hours before you can provide us with investment instructions. This regulatory requirement provides an opportunity for new investors to familiarise themselves with the information that can be found on our website regarding the risks of investing. During this time you will also be able to read the offer documents for any of the open investments you are interested in.

Once these 24 hours have elapsed you will be able to provide us with your investment instructions, provided that you have completed your full registration on the platform.

Investments offered on this platform are not readily realisable, which means that they may be difficult to sell and you may not get back the full amount invested. Investments are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and your capital is at risk and returns are not guaranteed. Repayment of capital and interest or payment of dividends will be dependent on the success of the organisation's business model and past performance isn’t a reliable indicator of future performance. You should always read the offer document in full before deciding whether or not to invest as it will cover risks specific to an individual investment. You can read more about the general risks associated with making these types of investments. If you are unsure if any of these investments are right for you, you should contact an Independent Financial Adviser.
