iWeb v Halifax Platforms

Chris75

I know that they are both parts of Halifax & I have looked up the charges so I know about those and I can see the differences in the web sites but I cannot find out if they have access to exactly the same range of funds or whether one (I guess iWeb) has a larger range than the other. They will not (cannot?) tell me.

So does anyone know if the funds list differs between iWeb & Halifax?

Is there anything else (other than fees and web site) that differentiates one from the other?

I think the funds they offer are identical, certainly seemed to be when I was doing my research.

Looks like they're identical sites, just with different styling (& charges).

The funds iWeb offer can be found here...https://iwebfunds.webfg.com/

Both iWeb & Halifax pages refer to the 2000 funds in the Halifax Funds Centre so I am guessing that they are the same except for a slightly different interface.

Difference comes down to how much trading do I expect to do. I intend to stay with one forever ............. but that is what I thought when I joined Chelsea, BestInvest, Cavendish and then AJ Bell.

Can anyone tell me what the respective websites and apps like for iWeb and Halifax?

Can you see all your accounts (Sipp, trading and ISA) all on one page for ease and convenience? I am guessing iWeb doesn't have an app because nothing comes up when I search.

On the iWeb website, as far as I'm aware, you have to switch between accounts to see the different balances. No summary page and no app either.

Same with Halifax, have to switch between accounts. I believe the Lloyds share dealing also runs on the same backend as Halifax/iWeb.

the website is primitive. Few facilities and a basic interface. It does the basics, but thats about it.I use HSD, cheap and cheerful as long as you are not buying and selling a lot.

Bank of Scotland was best of the three when I had last looked. I am with AJ Bell/Youinvest but if they increase fees for share/ETF portfolios I would go with the iweb/Halifax/BOS platform.

iWeb certainly is but then it's saving me £500 plus per year and I signed up when it was £25 per account!

What's HSD?
