StockBrokers.com UK was founded in 2011 with a simple mission: to provide thorough and unbiased reviews of online share dealing brokerages (learn more about our team and how we test). While the field of brokerage rating and reviewing has become more crowded over time, our coverage continues to be the standard-bearer for impartial, comprehensive, reader-first content.
StockBrokers.com UK and its sister site, United States-based StockBrokers.com, are industry-leading resources for information on online brokers and self-directed investing, referenced in leading media outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and CNBC. Since its inception, the StockBrokers.com suite has helped over 19 million visitors compare stockbrokers and learn about stock trading.
Here's what makes us a trustworthy resource.
We are experts
Our team consists of seasoned professionals who are highly regarded in their fields and dedicated to upholding the highest standards of journalism and research. Combined, the StockBrokers.com core team represents more than 100 years of industry experience. Our writers are also sought-after sources in the world of personal finance, and have themselves been quoted by major media outlets and consulted for their expertise.
We are unbiased
Independence is paramount to our mission. There is no "pay to play" here. Financial service providers cannot pay us to alter a review, modify an opinion, or inflate a star rating, and our tools do not require private, personal information to be shared. Our editorial decisions are, and always have been, independent and impartial. Our editorial team operates strictly independently of our advertising team in order to maintain objectivity.
Our mantra is simple: people before profits.
We are thorough
We pride ourselves on analyzing products using strict, proprietary testing methods and collecting insightful data to draw comparisons. Our reviews are the result of hundreds of hours of research and testing, and our data is validated by in-house analysts. Some examples of our meticulous processes:
Our writers open real brokerage accounts and thoroughly test each platform and app using real money, a key differentiator in our reviews and ratings.
For the StockBrokers.com UK review of best online brokers, published in October 2022, nearly 600 data points were collected over 10 weeks and used to score brokers. This makes the site home to the largest independent database on the web covering the online broker industry.
The rigorous validation process by our data team yields an error rate of less than .001% each year, providing site visitors with quality data they can trust.
We are respected in the industry
In the highly competitive field of stockbroker reviewing, our reviews and guides are respected as the most comprehensive by industry executives. Many brokerages voluntarily complete an in-depth data profile each year, which we audit for accuracy, and make their executives available for an annual face-to-face interview with our writing and research team. Our star ratings and commentary are proudly displayed by top-ranking brokerages and shared on social media.
