AJ Bell fund deal charges

I'm sure I read over Christmas that AJ Bell are going to remove the £1.50 fund dealing charge in the spring. Now I can't find anything online about it. 

Has anyone seen anything to that effect? 

As a regular investor, that would suddenly make AJ Bell much more attractive.

    Perhaps it was this. FT 2nd Jan 2026
    • Several UK investment platforms will cut fees this year in a bid to attract customers ahead of an industry campaign and overhaul of financial advice, part of the government’s push to turn the UK into a “nation of investors”.
    • Interactive Investor, the second-largest UK investment platform by users, will cut monthly fees from February on a range of self-invested personal pension (Sipp), Isa and general investment products by between £4 and £16.
    • Neo-investment platform Freetrade will also axe all fees for its Sipp in late January. It generates revenue from other subscriptions, foreign exchange conversion fees and by retaining some interest on customer funds.
    • The £1.50 dealing charge for monthly customer investments will be scrapped by AJ Bell in the spring, and in the first three months of the new year it is expected to make a time-limited fee-free offer to customers of its app Dodl, targeted at investment beginners.

    This could be good to move my Dodl holdings and go for ETF(s) that caps my fees.

    I mean going from something like the HSBC all world fund to the ACWI ETF for example would be a bit meh but might be worth it eventually.
