Horrendous service!

1
Horrendous service! I would like to put 0 stars if I could! I wanted to open a savings account with HL, as they were offering £100 to customers were saving £80.000. I sent documents by post, then they asked me to send more by email, (they didn't specify how to send the documents in the email so I just replied to it to the same email address and I attached my documents). They didn't check my emails, 5 days after wating for reply, I didn't get any. I called them after and I was surprised by the lack of interest and respect for customers. They said, they will call me back and they didn't. Then, they couldn't see my emails, I asked to speak with the manager and no one was happy to come to the phone. Then, they said I had to receive a pin by post, after that! HL, how long customers need to wait to open a simple savings account?? There are more quicker, respectful and competent providers. Look for something else and don't open any account with them. They don't deserve it after all! Reviewed on: 4th July 2022

Wide-ranging, established yet a string market leader

The information and advice on offer is fantastic, I turn to HL and often find investment advice and opportunities that are not available on much smaller or more tech savvy apps. Ordering can be cumbersome at times however this platform is reliable, offers variety and is well established in providing excellent financial services. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Just the best

Great platform high share fees

4
Overall a great platform with excellent advice for first time investor. However share dealing fees are very high and out of sync with others, especially considering platforms who charge no transaction fee. Therefore my advice only use HL if investing in funds or a large holding of shares. Reviewed on: 19th February 2021
