Freedom24

I'd been with a high street broker and the minimum charges put me off, so I moved to this one for the lower trading costs. The switch was painless and the account was open within a few days. Shares I bought appeared in the portfolio right away, and the price per trade is what I was hoping for. Glad I made the change.

I was after somewhere to buy funds for my pension top-up without paying through the nose, so I checked a few brokers first. The fee schedule here was the clearest and lowest of the ones I looked at. Opening the account took a few days while they checked my documents, but the process was clear and I got updates along the way. Deposits and trades have worked properly since.

Used to trade through my bank and the fees were a joke, this is so much cheaper for buying small amounts. Signed up in the evening, verified the next morning. Haven't had any random charges yet which is nice.

I'd been reading reviews for ages and wanted something with low fees and a decent app. Compared three platforms before picking this one. Signed up over a weekend, verified on the Monday, and my first deposit cleared the same day. No complaints so far.

Got a few shares in a tech company and the money showed up in the account straight away. Took maybe ten minutes all in. Simple, no faff, would do it again.

I was rather surprised that the account was open and ready to use within the same morning I applied. The verification asked for a few documents which I scanned and uploaded without bother. I have now placed my first small order and the holding showed up in my account straight away. I'd not hesitate to continue with them.

I wanted to put a small monthly amount into shares without paying big fees, so I looked at three other platforms first. The sign up was quick and the fee per trade is clearly shown before you confirm anything. Happy with it so far.

The fees are low and the app is decent once you're in. Signing up was a bit of a faff though, the identity check kept timing out on my phone and I had to try it on the laptop instead. Once that was sorted my first trade went through fine and the shares landed in the account the same day.

Honestly it's good for buying shares and checking your portfolio. The price is fair for what you get and the withdrawals landed quicker than I thought. Took a few days to get verified though, which was a bit slow, so 4 from me.

This was my first time using a trading platform, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The sign up walked me through each step and the verification finished within a day. Buying shares was straightforward and the money I put in showed up as expected. It's not flashy but it's clear, and I felt looked after as a new customer.

I was a bit nervous about moving my old ISA across but the process was far simpler than I feared. Their support team rang me back the same afternoon and talked me through each form, which I thought was very decent of them. The money arrived in the new account within the week and I've not had a single complaint since.

I'd read they were the cheapest around, so I was surprised by some of the charges on the currency exchange when I moved money over. The account opening was quick enough and the app works fine. I did find it hard to find the fee details, and I had to message them to clear up what I was being charged. It's not terrible but I wouldn't say it's the bargain I was led to believe.

I wanted a platform that would let me buy shares in overseas companies without the fees adding up, so I compared several options. This one came out cheapest for the markets I use. Signing up was easy and I was verified within a couple of days. Funds took a day to clear into the account, but after that trading has been smooth and the charges are what they said they'd be. Would choose it again for the same reasons.

Verdict is it's good and cheap for buying shares. Opened my account on my phone, verified in about a day, and my first buy went through straight away. App is easy and the fees are low, so I'll keep using it.

I've used this for a few years now and generally it's been reliable. The one thing that annoyed me was a withdrawal that took nearly a week to reach my bank, when it's usually a day. I did get a reply to my query within a day or so. Otherwise the buying and selling is fine.

I'd been keeping my savings in a low interest account for years and wanted to try investing a portion of it. The account application asked a few sensible questions about my experience and I answered them honestly. Once approved I was able to buy my first shares without any fuss, and the statement is easy to read.

Mostly the fact I could open an account and be trading in under ten minutes on my phone, which I didn't expect from a broker. Verification asked for a photo of my passport and a selfie, took about an hour to clear. Only niggle is the app is a bit cluttered on the smaller screen, but it does the job for a quick buy or sell between meetings.

Honestly it's brilliant for what I need. I bought a bit of a fund on the app during my lunch break and it went through instantly, which I wasn't expecting. Signing up took a few minutes and the verification was done by the next day. The fees are low, the app is easy to use, and I'm already telling my mates about it because it's just easier than what I had before.

Been with them for years now and bought shares in a few companies over that time. Withdrawals always come through and the trading side has never let me down. Nothing much to add.

Compared it to the app my bank does and it's not even close, the fees on the bank side were ridiculous for a small monthly buy. Here I put in a modest amount into a global index fund and the charges came to a fraction of what I was paying before. Account was open and funded the same afternoon. Nothing about it feels flashy but I don't really need flashy, I need it to be cheap and it is.
