First, we will compare the fees charged for dealing in the UK. There are two primary fees: the cost to place each trade and the monthly, quarterly, or annual management fee charged which varies depending on the type and size of your portfolio. We researched both to provide a single star rating for cost. Lloyds Bank's score is 4.00 stars versus Barclays's 3.50 stars.
Cost aside, we can now compare popular features and tools investors prefer. Access to the investments you want is important, and Lloyds Bank supports ISA and SIPP while Barclays supports ISA, SIPP, SIPP - Junior and Spread Betting. Next, some traders desire robust charting, so the number of drawing tools and total technical indicators made available, as well as stock alerts, are considered. Lloyds Bank trails Barclays by 13 total charting tools, with Barclays offering 14 and Lloyds Bank offering 1. Barclays boasts an offering of 152 different indicators (for example, moving averages) compared to Lloyds Bank's 43 available indicators. Both Barclays and Lloyds Bank offer basic stock alerts. Finally, for researching funds while share dealing, having access to mutual fund research reports is also helpful. Neither offers fund research reports.
Overall, between Barclays and Lloyds Bank, Barclays is the winner.
