These independent awards are compiled using customer reviews (30% of the score), Boring Money’s rigorous behind the scenes testing using our live accounts, charges (25% of the score) and customer service including call centres and support. These awards take our research team of 6 analysts over 2 months to research and collate, and recognise all round excellence.

More information about the awards

Why did we come up with these awards and the Best for Share Trades category?

If you're confident enough to buy and sell investments with a Stocks and Shares ISA, there are plenty of options to choose from. But picking the best provider is often no easy task. When it comes to trading fees, many are not very transparent, and setting up a new ISA or switching providers isn't always as straightforward as it should be. This makes it harder to compare your options, understand what's right for you, and make an informed choice before you part with your cash. In response to the above, we created the Boring Money Best for Share Traders award to honour the investment industry's cream of the crop. Think of this as an exclusive suite of providers who deliver consistently good value, transparent pricing, great website experiences, excellent customer service, and brand-spanking technology.

And how does this information help me as a share trader?

We didn't just come up with these Best Buys to tell you all how great these providers are. No - these awards exist to help you - the customer - make better investment choices for yourself and your loved ones. Whether you're an experienced share trader or someone who's new to the game, we've done all that nitty gritty research and fiddly analysis to give you a nice head start. And as you navigate our website and compare the best ISAs for share traders, or all products, do look out for those brands with the Best Buy logos next to their name. We don't just give these out to anyone. Providers have to earn them - and we are a deliberately tricky crowd to please.
