A i taking over.

Due to a technical hitch I had to contact I Web today.
The matter was dealt with on a chat line and sorted out very quickly. I saw that I Web is joining Scottish Widows later this year is that going to mean that the personal touch will be put out to pasture

Why log me out after two minutes

Why log me out after two minutes? While I am researching "a new" investment this website closes me down. Abysmal. Why can't you offer extended browsing times (Like EQi)? Who are you afraid of?

This has happened a hundred times and is now getting VERY BORING

Long Term satisfaction.

I've been here many years. It's excellent value for money. When I've put in a trade overnight the price, next day, has always been good. I would like to extend the lock out time but as a safety feature I appreciate why I can't

Outstanding Service and Exceptionally Easy-to-Use Platform

I’ve been using iWeb Share Dealing for some time now, and I have to say their service is simply outclass. From the very first interaction, everything has been smooth, professional, and refreshingly straightforward.

The website is one of the most user-friendly trading platforms I’ve experienced. Navigation is intuitive, transactions are quick, and all the important tools and information are exactly where you need them—no clutter, no confusion. It’s clear they’ve designed the platform with the investor in mind, whether you’re placing your first trade or managing a diverse portfolio.

On top of that, their customer service team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Queries are answered quickly, and you always feel like a valued client rather than just another account number.

In short, iWeb Share Dealing combines excellent service with a platform that makes investing simple and efficient. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, transparent, and easy-to-use share dealing experience.

Great communication has won my business

I'm not a customer of iWeb yet but I used their web chat to ask some questions about transferring in to their ISA product and I was put in touch with a human who answered all my questions clearly and quickly. It was so refreshing to deal with a human and get the right information, rather than a bot that can't answer my questions. I will be opening an account with iWeb because of my good experience, as I now know if i need information as a customer, I will be able to speak to a human and get answers quickly.

Web interface developed by 5 year olds

I had the misfortune of starting an ISA with iWeb. Their search pages do not work. I am logged in but when I click on the ETF quicklist it does not recognise I am logged in (so it loops ad infinitum). My apologies to all five year old for the title. I am sure most five year old will produce a far superior web interface thatn this crap. Whilst HL and AJB are in the 21st century, iWeb sit comfortably int he 18th century.

Reply to iWeb:
It is your website that opens a new tab in Chrome when I click on the quick ETF link, not me. Even if it opens a new tab in the Chrome window - as I am already logged in the new tab should also keep me logged in. It is known as cookies. But I guess this is too much to expect from the iWeb site. In any case your search widgets inside the site is even worse than a chocolate teapot (because at least you can eat the melted chocolate).

Thank you for leaving a review, Raj. I’m sorry to read that you’ve been experiencing difficulties with trying to trade using our ETF Quicklist.

I’ve tested the journey thoroughly, and I can confirm it works as expected. When you use our site, please sign in and use just one internet window or tab. If you open multiple tabs, the site won’t recognise you’re signed in. It’ll ask you to enter your details again.

If you continue to experience problems, I’d initially suggest using a different browser, and clearing your Cache – this is known to resolve issues sometimes.

If you’ve followed all of the above steps and you still continue to experience issues, please contact us via telephone or using our Web Chat service and we’ll try to resolve this for you.

Awful experience

Awful experience trying to log in to my account. Spent hours and multiple attempts without success. Eventually helped by an online chat but by this time I was tearing my hair out.
I appreciate that online security is of the utmost importance but there is a balance to be achieved between security and accessibility, especially for the old who grew up in a time before online banking. I was sorely tempted to close my accounts and deal with a competitor.

Thank you for leaving a review Howard. I'm sorry to read that you've had difficulty accessing your account but I'm pleased we were able to help when you contacted us.

I can appreciate what you're saying regarding security measures and how it's changed over the years, but as I'm sure you understand, we need to continually ensure our customers are safe when using our service and their details are not exposed to anyone else.

If you ever do need support, you can contact us by telephone or via Web Chat. We're always happy to help.

Rather basic service

IWEb does not provide live running cash statements so it is difficult to check whether dividends have been paid. They don't pay interest on cash balances either. Statements are only every three months.

Thank you for leaving a review Richard, we appreciate the feedback.

Currently our accounts don’t pay interest, but we’ll take your suggestions under consideration when making any future improvements to our service.

Whilst our Statements are issued quarterly, you can still view all cash transactions and dividends under the Valuation & Statement section of the website. (Cash history and Dividend history)

If you need any help finding these, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us, and our contact centre can navigate you.

Great service, providing everything most people need, at a low cost

I've seen some reviews stating that their service is pretty basic, and the web interface clunky. To be honest though, it's simple, straightforward, and works fine for the vast majority of cases. Combine this with the very low transaction fee and it's been a solid service for me for many years now.

Customer service has been excellent the few times I've had to use it, and any problems were resolved quickly in a single call/webchat/email.

I can understand that some people may want a more powerful, slicker or comprehensive solution, but there are other providers which offer that.

IWeb has been consistent and reliable (I've used it for over 10 years now), and I would thoroughly recommend it for the majority of people.
