Excellent online platform and customer service

5
I hold 3 accounts with HL: a share and fund account, a stocks and shares ISA and a SIPP. I have always found the online platform very easy to navigate whether this is checking the performance of my investments or placing deals. It is very rare that I have had any queries or issues but when I have done I have always encountered prompt and effective customer service. Finally the website contains a wealth of historical and current information and news to inform investment planning. HL are highly recommended. Reviewed on: 5th July 2017
