...came to the conclusion that TD Waterhouse were going to be the service that met my need and expectation of level of service. I chose TD Waterhouse after less than satisfactory dealings with another share dealing service, who I found to be very slow on acting on buying and selling instructions, on occasion losing me several hundred pounds through slow service. === Applying. === You have to fill in an online application form to use their services. ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

I became a customer of TD Waterhouse by default some years ago, when they bought out Sharedeal, which was previously owned by the Skipton Building Society. TD Waterhouse is a subsidiary of the Canadian based Toronto-Dominion Bank, and it has further websites in Luxembourg (called Internaxx), Canada and the USA. Until about six months ago, before we were on the Internet, I had only dealt over the telephone. I decided to register with the online service ...
...in a nominee account, whereby TD Waterhouse holds the shares on your behalf with you registered as the beneficiary owner. Thus, there are no paper certificates and any dividends are paid directly to your account on the due date. The advantage here is that you don't have to wait for a cheque to arrive in the post and then wait a further 3-4 days for the funds to clear. ~The website~~ The home page is very well set out in green and white colours ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

...any capital gains. Brilliant! TD Waterhouse had an offer (still running at time of writing) for two months of commission-free trading, and with a reasonable online charge of £12.50 per trade I decided to give them a try. Opening the account was fairly straightforward - but a word of warning is that there is a credit check procedure that slows things down - don't let it get too near the tax year end deadline. (Why is that, by the way? The account ...
...market and research data? TD Waterhouse is at least acceptable on all of these, and for some matters it is excellent. In my view the online environment is more than adequate for most uses, though I suspect that most regular users will, like me, supplement the market news with additional sources such as the excellent Yahoo! Finance and MSN Money. I have just three reservations about the system. Firstly, when looking at my portfolio value, I would ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

...one of the companies that TD Waterhouse took over in recent years I came to be a customer of TD Waterhouse by default. I choose to go online with them purely because it was an easy transaction to complete as they were my existing stockbroker. The problems started from there...The paperwork that I had already completed with the previous company had to be refilled and another period of waiting ensued before I received a user ID and password. They didn't ...
...One good point is that TD waterhouse do appear to be brave enough to admit their mistakes - the values on my investments for a long period were completely wrong. I called the company and corresponded by email to make them aware of this and they endeavoured to find out where the problem lay. I never found out why but things were corrected and I suggested that they waived their management fee for that period. They agreed and the company went up in ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

...the frequent trader service of TD Waterhouse, doing around 100 trades per year (and previously used YorkShare before TD Waterhouse took them over). I used the telephone service until the middle of this year, and then started dealing on-line. I rate the telephone service fully satisfactory and the on-line service satisfactory. Sometimes it fails (as is the case with other on-line brokers, judging by what I read on bulletin boards) and then I phone, ...
...use their nominee service, no additional charge, as I don't want to mess about with certificates - particularly important for me, as I'm often trading from overseas. The hidden cost advantage I refer to in the heading is that executed prices are normally better than bid/offer prices originally quoted (NB not where quoted spread is already very small or for very illiquid stocks). This is more important than differences in commission from one broker ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

TD-water house is the Broker i use to do share dealings with. Lets look at the advantages and disadvantages first: Main advantage: I did not know anything about shares or how to deal, but this site explained everything in simple plain english!.. just as there motto says.. They even have a demo tutorial on buying and selling shares. They also have a nominee account so no need to send certificates and that palaver, they do all that paper work for you..! ...
...compnay. Allow trades both on and off the net. The commission schedule is VERY competitive and the level of customer service is second to noe. they even phone to your mobile if they need to help you or if they need to answer any of your questions. If you make 15 deals a year (so thats 8 buys and 7 sells or vice versa) then you can be a member of their frequent trading club. This allows you to sell ANY AMOUNT OF SHARES FOR A FIXED PRICE of £16 (phone) ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

Following my earlier comments on the downhill quality of TDW I have just learnt that Hargreaves lansdown offer a free nominee account transfer service to them. They also allow you unlimited online trades in the first month that you openthe account for only 5 pounds per trade. Following that, I believe that all trades are at a set price of 15 pounds per trade. That beats TDW hands down as TDW are planning put up the frequent traders rate to 19.95 ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

I have join TD Waterhouse Share dealing service over 3 year, and join their frequent trader club since the beginning of this year. The overall service of this company is good. They are only charge for £14.95 per trade. It is a quite good for me. But the problem is this company always have the program on the internet trading, eg. I have few times to buy or sell Qxl.com Shares; the program is when I buy or sell 5000 0r 10000 share online, it can get ...
...get the deal for it, TD Waterhouse said this is the problem of the electronic market. I do not know why I can not buy small amount of share (£1000 to £4000), and should buy for over that amount. I have the problem same again on selling my Halifax share few weeks ago; it is I cannot sell my part of my Halifax share under 400 share and only can sell over that amount. I hope they will solve the computer problem as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

...were then taken over by TD Waterhouse about 12 months ago and that's when things started to change. I was very happy with my DLJ account. Although it wasn't the cheapest i liked the site (very easy to use for a novice) and their information / research was very accessible. After TD Waterhouse took them over i was less than impressed. First, the integration with their systems did not go smoothly. I had to request usernames and passwords several ...
...were not as comprehensive as the competitions, in that you couldn't place a full array of orders (limit orders, stop losses etc). This did come later but for me it was too late. I always thought they were ok but not brilliant. Then finally it came. They have now started to charge for inactive accounts. That is, an account which has not traded in the last three months. This kinda goes against the grain of the economies of trading on line. The only ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

I have had a TDW account now for 3 years. I must admit 3 years ago the website was totally disorganised and there wasnt much content. However over the years a transformation has taken place now they are much more user friendly. They have partnered up with hemsott data to provide a "Markets & Research Centre" This allows you to search a company and then you can find out all the financial details of that company. Included are : Company Info Contact ...

Once I bought regus which was offering at 13.5 but TDW managed to buy for me at 13p! They also have an education area where they tell you about the basics on stocks, bonds, warrants etc. The website is very user friendly and you I feel its very easy to adapt ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

I transferred my share dealing account from Yorkshare to TDW when they took Yorkshare over, and set up a nominee and frequent traders account. I am generally happy, since from the occasion problem that I have had, every one has been resolved to my total satisfaction. TDW is a professional company whose staff are helpful. Although the TDW Website dealing service is pretty basic, coupled with information from other sites it provides the facility to ...
...this suites me. Tip 1 - Open a frequent dealing account, all transactions cost £14.95 Tip 2 - For every £400 you deposit it appears that you can trade upto £1000. ie 2.5 times Tip 3 - Place a couple of dummy buys and sells to get used to the screens, only don't press the button. ...

...set up an account with TD Waterhouse & regretted it! They lost a £1000 cheque I sent to them to go into my share account. I complained about this and was ignored. After a lot of phone calls, I eventually got through to someone who could help and after having to get a copy of my cheque from my bank got my money back. This all took 5 months!!! I have since switched to e-trade.co.uk who are much better. Money transfers take place by direct debit which ...

Review of TD Waterhouse

I registered with TD Waterhouse after a friend at work found out how much I paid to my bank for doing a couple of reasonably small trades. After the initial registration on the PC, which I found to be very thorough. The next stage is a bit of a bore. i.e the leagal bit, having to send documents etc. After this however I found the web site to be very straitforward to navigate and the way in which you make a trade very easy. I have found them to ...
