About the new free regular investing...I can't see anywhere that there's a minimum amount mentioned.🤔

Is there one?   

I would expect at least £50 or £100 a month, but I can't see for looking 😕

‘Simple investing from £50 a month‘

Thanks, I see it now.   

It does seem to be restricted though, as i've also seen..

"Pick one of our three investment funds, and choose your account. That’s it. Our experts will invest your money so it has a chance to grow."

So, I'm guessing that you can't pick your own fund for this "free" option, that's why its free! 

Where did you see that, this is what the FAQ on the regular investing page says:

The mix up seems to be with this existing but unrelated Scottish Widows offering to be able to invest at least £50 per month into ready made investments (cautious, balanced and adventurous are the 3 fund options)

In terms of the iweb (now Scottish Widows Share Dealing) regular investment option we know it is into UK shares, ETFs, funds and Investment Trusts but we don't know what restrictions there are in relation to these categories or what the minimum regular monthly contribution amount is.

I am unable to access any SW website/ account. However, when I go to my original iWeb login, I can log in as normal into iWeb. So as things stand, my account has not been migrated and is still with iWeb and not SW.

I suppose the clue is in the message I am being shown, with the word "from" being the key, as follows:

"From 18 October you'll see IWeb start to move over to Scottish Widows Share Dealing"

So, "from" seems to suggest the migration may happen at some point at a future date! So for now, I am being reatined within iWeb!

Same for me - I can login to iWeb as normal.  Not able to login to SW.
Interestingly, I login to iWeb using a username (which is not an email address), but SW is demanding an email address.

Are you using the following link?

I don't think the Log in for ex-IWeb customers is live yet (it just times out for me)

Ah!  That looks different.
Would you have the actual link address?

I've only looked at the app which, as you say, requires an email address for the login. Which in my case is interesting as both Mrs R and I use the same email address for Iweb.  As we do whenever we can to keep all our financial matters together. (HL also has the facility for couples to permit access to each other's accounts using either login, including to operate and trade.)

Would be surprised if this isn't common and Iweb must be aware of the duplicate addresses, but they haven't mentioned it. So I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen. Using an email address, that will be widely known, as part of the login doesn't seem appropriate for a financial platform in any case. The app doesn't seem to have any provision for fingerprint access, unless that only becomes visible after registration.

Also intrigued that a platform that only charges for trades, and has no account fees, now intends to offer free trading too.  How is that going to work? 

"Not registered yet? Register to manage your ISAs and OEICs online." And what's that all about? Aren't people confused enough about all those ISAs and OEIC lookalikes already?

There's a login that looks familiar here https://www.scottishwidows-platform.com/login but tells me "Your username and/or password don’t match. Please use the forgot password button below".

Also  a "login support guide" here https://www.scottishwidows-platform.com/media/vzkahb1i/login_support_guide.pdf

That makes sense.   We're seeing different information from different  sites.

I'll wait until iweb has fully migrated, as I'm still seeing the original pages.

Hopefully, it will also be from £50.

You just go to https://www.scottishwidows.co.uk/investing.html and scroll down, or for the direct link to the (not working) login page go to https://www.share-dealing.personal.secure.scottishwidows.co.uk/_mem_bin/formslogin.asp

There are several other options that you don't want, including "ISAs and OEICs", "Investments" and "Scottish Widows Platform". These are not for us, we need "Scottish Widows Share Dealing"

I see the SW investing link above, thanks. But I also think it's up to iWeb to provide its customers with any links. Most customers will not come searching for links from a third party forum! iWeb have not informed me of anything other than the fact they were to be migrating to SW, and that we would be re-directed and provided with the new web address. However, this simply is not happening. I am still using iWeb which is continuing to work as normal and is not re-directing to SW.
