A good basic service. The main issue is that not all ETFs that you read about in the media are available via the iweb platform. Neither are the staff motivated to suggest alternatives. Worse, I had been investing in one ETF that reduced in value; I tried to buy more shares but iweb had suspended that particular security. I had a problem with some poor service from an incompetent operator but I complained and the manager reviewed the recording of the phone call and paid me a small sum in compensation. It is run by the Halifax so you have the reliability of a strong brand behind the offer. Taking these issues on the chin, I am happy with the service that I get for a very low cost. High charges can really have a bad effect on your wealth. Hurry now and save pounds.

I have been using IWEB Share Dealing as my main broker since I started trading. They maybe don't have access to every market but for price and customer service this is the way to go. I recommend it to anyone who wants an easy to use and reasonably priced service.

I've been using the service for 2 years. At £5 a trade I t feel it's good value for the service provided. High availability / uptime of the site. Money transfers between iweb & bank performed in time scales they quote. News for shares good be more thorough, but this is available from plenty of other sites. I just noticed account opening fee increasing from £25 to £200, big increase, but a one off charge. Overall v happy with the service & would recommend, plus I feel happy this service is part of HBOS group.

Been using one of the biggest platforms for years but decided to try Iweb, in addition, purely on basis of dealing costs for shares & Investment Trusts etc. Been using it now for 8 months - not the most intuitive interface but everything is there. Maybe not the choice of funds that the other platforms have and many have upfront fees, but chose carefully and the experience is positive. Cost effective & highly recommended.

Moved to iWeb due to two reasons. 1. Cheap £5 to buy or sell 2. ability buy shares for NYSE. what i like the website is very basic, was easy to use. easy to put money in, buy shares. no annual charges. regular investment is every few days and they only charge £2 unlike other share companies who have it once a month. what i dont like the reason however i gave it 4 stars out of 5 stars as i had forgotten my password and had to phone them up, first time i rang it just rang a bit and then cut off second time the phone was picked up straight away but she was grumpy. Improvements that could be made is having the ability to transfer money from the normal share account to the isa account and vice versa. Any one that wants to keep cost to a minimum should go for this. i have saved £100s in fees by moving.

Iweb is worth using for a casual trade or for someone who is simply looking to transfer their holding certificates into a suitable electronic format to monitor. Very simple and straightforward to use. What makes in slightly inappropriate for high density usage are occasional trading delays and the waiting period for sales to become transferable cash (although sales can be invested in shares immediately). Highly recommended for low level use though and flat rate fee is ideal.

Iweb Share Dealing really makes it easy to play the stock market. I wish they sent an automatic invitation to companies' AGMs though... It used to be the case with Charles Schwab for no extra charge, but then they got swallowed by Barclays...
