Is Halifax right for you?

Ease of use

Navigating this site can be a bit frustrating. Researching shares and funds is not intuitive and the fund information, supplied by Morningstar, is factual without offering much help about what to actually pick and why. It’s difficult to zip through the website, as everything is cluttered and the content is extremely text heavy.

Mobile & Apps

There is no investment app available. The website is not particularly mobile-friendly, especially when assessing potential fund choices. Investors are even advised to only attempt certain functions on desktop.

Facts, Fees & Behind the Scenes at Halifax

If you know what you want – to get in, trade and then get out – it works fine. And at £12.50 a year to hold an ISA here, with additional trading fees, it’s easy to see why they don’t spend a lot on development. Really depends on what the individual wants but the less confident will get lost.

Ready-made

Low charges for larger portfolios due to fixed-fee model.
