The minimum for CFD trading and Investing is different.

If you want to trade CFDs the minimum deposit is $10 but for investing you can start with a minimum deposit of $1 which can fetch you fractional shares.

Cash ISA minimum deposit is 1 GBP

Stock ISA minimum deposit is 1 GBP

Investing minimum deposit is 1 GBP

CFD Trading minimum deposit is 10 GBP/EUR/USD

You also earn interest on any unused monies in your ISA Account, Invest Account or CFD Trading Account.

No — Trading 212 does not require the same minimum deposit for all types of accounts. The minimum you need depends on the account type you choose: investors vs traders (CFD/forex).

The minimum deposit is higher, commonly around €10 / £10 / $10 (or equivalent).

This account type is used by traders, especially if you want to trade forex, CFDs, crypto, etc.
