How to approach a claim
Freetrade’s terms do not describe a shareholder-perk claim process.
The terms describe nominee custody: shares are registered to Freetrade Nominees or a custodian, rather than directly in your name.
Ask Freetrade what ownership evidence it can supply, then ask the company whether it accepts it. We have not tested this route.
What companies say
The Artisanal Spirits Company
ASC names Hargreaves Lansdown, AJ Bell, interactive investor and Freetrade as ways to buy its shares, then asks you to verify your holding on ASC’s website. It does not explain which nominee documents it accepts. We have not tested any broker’s route.
