Broker Reviews

Interactive Investor Review

The standout feature at Interactive Investor (ii), a major U.K. investment platform, is its low flat-rate fees. This is in contrast to other investment platforms, which typically favour percentage fees for fund investing, although more brokers are now opting for flat fees.

Trading 212 Review

Trading 212 is an investment platform that offers commission-free share dealing, making it a low-cost alternative to more traditional brokers. Investors looking for more diversification through mutual funds, another broker may be a better option.

Interactive Brokers UK Review

Interactive Brokers is a sophisticated trading platform aimed at confident investors but also offers great value and resources for newer investors. We believe it’s certainly worth exploring the platform to see if you could save money or access more investments compared to other brokers.

Hargreaves Lansdown Review

Hargreaves Lansdown provides a thorough selection of investment options, high-quality research, alongside an excellent mobile app. Conversely, pricing is expensive and charting tools are just average.

Elizabeth Anderson

AJ Bell Review

AJ Bell is one of the U.K.'s largest DIY investment platforms, offering a broad range of instruments. Charges are on the high side for those with large portfolios in mutual funds.

Elizabeth Anderson

XTB UK Review

XTB's low fees and solid educational content will make it particularly attractive to newer investors. On the downside, it does not currently offer an ISA or SIPP, so you’re limited to trading through a general dealing account.

IG Trading Review 2025

IG is an investment platform aimed at experienced investors looking to make frequent trades on the stock market. IG offers thousands of shares, trusts and ETFs to trade, as well as the ability to do spread betting and CFDs. It offers a comprehensive and easy-to-use trading platform that is used by both private and professional investors. See what else our analysis uncovered.

Elizabeth Anderson

eToro UK Review

EToro has among the lowest fees and best mobile app experiences of brokers we tested in the U.K. We believe eToro offers a great starting point for those new to stock trading, but does appear to be more suited to short-term traders rather than long-term investors.
