A good deal to recommend
Review of TD Waterhouse by silverstreak

Advantages: Fast site, easy to navigate and cheaper than dealing by telephone
Disadvantages: Some areas of site occasionally unavailable

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 ... Read review

Effective and reliable online trading
Review of TD Waterhouse by deputydawg

Advantages: Online demonstrations and 60 day free trading trial
Disadvantages: Straightforward operation but limited flexibility

...I would recommend you consider TD Waterhouse for your short list. No system will suit everyone, so use the excellent online demonstrations to see whether this one works in a way that is intuitive for you, and make your decision accordingly. ... Read review

The jury is out on this one.
Review of TD Waterhouse by pands78

Advantages: Quick and easy
Disadvantages: But at a cost

...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 ... Read review

A hidden cost advantage
Review of TD Waterhouse by o.kosling

Advantages: Superior executed prices
Disadvantages: None

...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, ... Read review

An update on my TD Waterhouse hangup
Review of TD Waterhouse by bounty

Advantages: None with TD waterhouse
Disadvantages: TD waterhouse has had it's day

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 ... Read review

Review of TD Waterhouse by wingyiu

Advantages: Good for Frequent Traders
Disadvantages: Always have the problem online

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Not clear
Disadvantages: Rates increased since takeover of Yorkshares

...has been taken over by TD Waterhouse. Commission went up (1% for Telephone orders), Minimum fee increased (14.50 against 12.50). Now adays, I do not see real advantage in using TDwaterhouse as a Telephone broker service as there does not appear to be clear difference between brokers. ... Read review

DLJ come back
Review of TD Waterhouse by MrLew

Advantages: easy to use, secure,one of the big boys
Disadvantages: inactivity fees, expensive compared to others, second hand research.

...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 ... Read review

Td Waterhouse - Quality broker
Review of TD Waterhouse by Rupert206

Advantages: Current offer - 4 months commision free dealing, Online commisions recently reduced to £12.5, Partnership with hemscott data provide useful company info, Currently offers free covered warrant trading on SG products.
Disadvantages: Inactivity fee if you dont trade once a quater, no 15 second countdown timer.

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 ... Read review

Basic Service (plus tips)
Review of TD Waterhouse by OhBrother

Advantages: Very helpful staff.
Disadvantages: Website needs attention.

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 ... Read review

Lost cheques with TD Waterhouse
Review of TD Waterhouse by NickCraig

Advantages: Low cost
Disadvantages: Very inefficent

...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 ... Read review

A great way to start dealing in stocks
Review of TD Waterhouse by floyd

Advantages: Trading Procedure, Ease of use from any location
Disadvantages: None so far

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 be ... Read review

World Leader
Review of TD Waterhouse by joesan

Advantages: big comapny, reliable, cheap
Disadvantages: 1st timers may need extra help

TD waterhouse who are they? Well only probably the biggest investment company in the world. So one thing is right already, you can trust this comapny, its not goin to run away with your money. Trust is the single most important thing with online brokers, you need to know that your money is safe. The prices (commissions) they charge are very resonable for what you get, there are decent instructions for the functions, but it could still prove to be ... Read review
