Fiddly SYSTEM - STEER CLEAR!!
Review of Selftrade by apollocreed3456709

Advantages: Plenty of stocks can be traded and phone trading is the same price as online.
Disadvantages: online sytem keeps locking out users and crashing.

Their entire service is ruined by the fact that logging into an account takes ages! You're not allowed to type the password but have to click a row of numbers instead. These numbers are so sensitive that I am constantly locking myself out of my account as ... Read review

Frequent Share traders should consider Frequent Trader
Review of Clubfinance Frequent Trader by MoneyMan1975

Advantages: Good for frequent share traders, quick to trade
Disadvantages: Annual Fee makes it expensive for people that trade less than once a month.

This new service is aimed at people who trade a lot and want to reduce their transaction costs in return for an annual fee. As it rebates trail commission on funds it is also potentially useful for less frequent traders who hold a mix funds and shares. M ... Read review

HL Stocks and shares ISA
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by Robertonegri

Advantages: I found no advantages in dealing with HL
Disadvantages: My investment in a HL stocks and shares ISA has lost approximately 6% in the last year

I would not recommend the HL stocks and shares ISA. Any communication I had with HL they seemed to be disinterested. They seem to forget that from small acorns large trees oak trees grow. In one communication by phone their representative implied that tak ... Read review

Expensive to leave them
Review of TD Waterhouse by hifimusicman

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Fees due quarterly for portfolios under £7000 if you do not carry out any trades in that quarter.

As someone who has had a trading account with TDW for 10 years or so I had expected better from them. My investments were originally valued in excess of £5000 and so were not subject to TDWs 'inactivity' fee i.e a fee levied each quarter that you do not t ... Read review

For this to be more useful to a potential customer, it would be worth discussing firstly what the company is supposed to do and then discussing all the issues you have had with them. As it stands this just reads like a complaint rather than a review. by anonymili

Appalling customer service,messy slow website,no investm tracking
Review of Selftrade by ciaonette

Advantages: Investment range
Disadvantages: Appaling and rude customer services, poor slow messy website, Unexisting Investment Tracking

I've been using Selftrade for over 5 years now. One of their worst points is the website. It's got a shabby look-and-feel, it's very difficult to find what you are after and unless you are on a fast connection (forget 3G here) it hangs and feels very slow ... Read review

@MoonMeeko: It's an online shares trading broker. Don't think they do spread-betting as far as I'm concerned. by ciaonette
