First, we will compare the fees charged for dealing in the UK.

We researched both to provide a single star rating for cost. Both Halifax and Lloyds Bank share a rating of 4.00 stars.
Cost aside, we can now compare popular features and tools investors prefer. Access to the investments you want is important, and Halifax and Lloyds Bank provide clients with ISA and SIPP. 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.
