There are cheaper stockbrokering services out there, but I have found Natwest fairly competetive for the level of service they provide. You get basically, online access to buy/sell shares through the Natwest broker and optionally a nominee account to store your certificates electronically - which saves having to deal with paperwork and saves on certain fees.
Although you don't get advice on what to buy/sell there is an extensive analytics section on the site, with heat maps, gainers/fallers, breakouts as well as in-depth material on all listed companies. You can also set up price alerts to receive SMS/email on a given price. There is also a 'virtual portfolio' section - which allows you to buy/sell shares without actually buying/selling to test whether you are on the right track when it comes to making decisions about a stock's price.
I have only traded on the UK (LSE) market, however you can trade on internationational markets and trade in funds and bonds if you wish to extend your portfolio beyond stocks/shares.
The site has good security, Natwest is a trusted authority and their experience shows. You can pay into your account online using your credit/debit card and get request funds by CHAPS/BACS/Cheque.
Advantages: Walk in to your local Natwest Bank and trade Disadvantages: Can be a while before you get your share certificates
Natwest have recently revamped their stockbroking service so I thought I should update my review.
A little while ago I decided I wanted to start owning a few company shares. I needed to find a straightforward brokering service and I didn’t need advice to be included, which would just make things more complicated from my point of view. I knew what I wanted to buy and sell so I just needed the brokerage service.
I decided to try my local Natwest ... ...offering lower minimum charges. Natwest charge a minimum of £25 per transaction (a percentage on higher value dealings – 2% I think) and the usual stamp fee on purchases. All major shares are available on the Natwest system, but if you want to buy some of the shares on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) then these may not be quoted directly. However, you can still trade through the Natwest, a branch share trader simply rings their head office ...
