Hardly anyone knows about them but they provide excellent stockbroking (and gilts etc) buying opportunities. Due to their £5 trading fee they are best thought of as one for a buy and hold investor. I dont pay any annual fees at all in my ISA. And this has been going on for at least 10 years now! The spread of securities is fantastic - havent yet seen anything that comes even close to them.

Foreign exchange fees way to high!

Very good platform for investing and trading. HOWEVER, as I trade mainly in foreign stocks and shares the 1.5% foreign exchange commission really hurts every time I trade - the low trading fee looks good, but the paying this amount of fees for foreign shares I find over the top - because of this, and this is the only reason, I am now looking for other trading platforms with lower foreign exchange rates. Pity. Most trading platforms have either no or very low annual fees and a trading fee of around £5-10. However, "TRADING 212" for example charges 0.15% foreign exchange fees, a tenth of what iWEB Share Dealing charges, and they still seem to make money?! I assume big bank Lloyds in the background rears its head and tries to get as much as possible of its customers' money.....simply because the foreign exchange fees are -at first sight when comparing trading platforms- not as obvious. To demonstrate with numbers: if I were to buy £10k of US shares, the foreign exchange fees charged are £150 !! ....and the same again, once I sell the shares. Any "annual fees" or slightly higher trading fees other platforms charge are miniscule compared to the 1.5% foreign exchange fees. And to finish this off: Lloyds / Halifax's other trading platform AJ Bell only charges a maximum of 0.75% foreign exchange fees, getting less if the order becomes larger. So it can be done!

    Simple cheap effective share dealing

    Everything you would ask for from an online sharedealing platform with the complication and high cost of Hargreaves Lansdown and AJBell

    Low cost share dealing

    Best ISA

I really like them because they are so low cost (no annual charges, just a £100 joining fee, and £5 share dealing), but still have all the features I require. They are backed by Halifax, so I think they are reasonably secure. They have the shares and OEICs I want to invest in. I can place limit or stoploss orders. They have everything I want from a stockbroker, but they are very, very low cost. The only time I had a problem was when I tried to transfer only part of an ISA to them. Despite me telling them over the phone and writing it on the transfer form, they still tried to transfer all of the ISA to themselves. Luckily the brokers at the other end sorted it out for me. Now I’ve transferred my ISAs to them, they are just great. I just wish there were more stockbrokers like them, as I don’t want to put all my savings in one place. Read more Read less

Real value for money unlike Barclays. The only gripe I have is the three days to transfer funds out when the deal is settled. Three days in this day and age is a liberty. Read more Read less

    Efficient and Cost-Effective

    Simple and comprehensive share dealing and ISA provider. Makes dealing easy and cheap. ISAs especially good - can set price targets and range trading options without cost.
