I have completed a W-8BEN form on Hargreaves Landown's website ahead of buying a US$ ETF. Are there any complications if I transfer to another platform, most likely Interactive Investor?

As aberlyfid rightly said, you’ll probably need to complete another W8-Ben form with your new platform provider. Can’t see it causing any issues."If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes” Warren Buffett
