I'm with Hargreaves Landsdown. Been with them for about 5 years now. Great service.

Try Hargreaves Lansdown www.h-l.co.uk , i was using etrade until I was thrown off when they closed their UK operation. I have found Hargreaves to be really helpful, they answer the phone quickly, have loads of info on their website and generally provide an excellent service (and no I don't work for them)

If you trade shares, then Interactive Investor is a very good one. If your funds are in an ISA they are actually paying out a bonus of 0.5% of the transfer value (up to a maximum of £100).

If instead you deal in funds, then H-L are a good choice and very good customer service. They are terribly expensive to use for buying and selling shares though!

I use interactive investor, very good simple service and cheap. I was thinking of opening a TD waterhouse account as well, though. What is wrong , are they not reliable? Im worried now!

Been with Hargreaves Lansdown since 1999, and cannot fault them at all. Great trading rates.

I use Barclays for shares and investment trusts and H-L for funds. I'm happy with both.
