Excellent service & info sharing (workplace pension)

5
Excellent customer service with quick response on phone or email. Great information sharing with webinars, emails and individual consultations with email follow-up. (For workplace pension). Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

Fund and Share Account is excellent value

5
Web interface isn't the nicest, although nothing bad about it. Staff on the telephone are British and efficient at answering queries. Top marks to HL for welcome payments for transferring in Dealing accounts and SIPPs. £3500 received, so we'll happily stay with you for a while despite the £11.95 dealing fee and £200/yr standing charge. Note that the Fund and Share Account hs no standing charge for holding shares/IT/ETF/Bonds. Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Great SIPP

Very easy and quick opening the product and investing in some of the many funds available on the platform. And it gets an additional 20% from HMRC! Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Useful all in one service

5
Easy to set up SIPP account. Plenty of investment advice. Platform fees a little higher than some but offset by no ETF trading fees and lower ETF charges than on other platforms. Useful savings account comparison and opening service. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Great choice of funds to invest in Reviewed on: 6th March 2023
