II, AJ Bell and HL should be able to trade that gilt online. If you open accounts with all three of them and kick off identical trades at the same time, you should be quoted the same price by all three. One certainly should not do consistently better than another. See the FCA best execution rules. With SW, you have to place an order online, and it is executed by a dealer shortly afterwards. The resulting delay may introduce a price difference, but again, SW should not do consistently better or worse than the competition. You can view the prices at which trades took place on the London Stock Exchange website.

This is it plus one month Treasury bills:

They used to have another two, but they've matured. I was hoping they'd expand the offering or at least replace those that have matured.
