    Fair enough, not what I'm after right now, sticking to funds and ETFS for now. IG is interesting but looks teared more towards traders than passive fund investing from what I can tell. 
  • They claim to be one of the cheapest (I have not done research on this) with a FX of 0.5%

    One reason that Lloyds didn't get mentioned often is that until this year IWEB was just £25 one-off (and £5/trade), so beating Lloyds in most scenarios.

    Yeah, thankfully a mate put me on to it just in the nick of time at £25! I need an account for my partners isa now thou. Sadly I didn't have the foresight to open two accounts!

    Nice. Without my spreadsheet in front of me, I still don't think it would topple Lloyds for value though.. Seems the interface is a bit... IWeb lol. 

    Any views on Lloyds? 
    I would guess that's because they're all part of the same group. I'm with iWeb but interesting that Lloyds looks competitive
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    When you actually search on Lloyds it looks just like iweb with a different skin really!

    Have you had any problems with them not having the funds you wanted?  
  • I have had issues with iweb being unable to trade some shares and not willing to resolve it.

    And before that iweb was free to open so only £5 a trade
