Grammar Error. Shoddy proof reading.

Guys,
Who does your proof reading?
On your mobile app homepage it says
"No account fee and just £5 online trading commission. Less fees, more investing."
Major grammar error there. Doesn't reflect well on such a large organisation

Update, I have just recieved a reply which mentions the rigorous approval process all content on the website goes through...and yet the grammar error remains. I would be happy to communicate directly with your 'copy' team if any help is needed.

One of the best.

I've been with iWeb for many years and have always experienced faultless service. The online chat helpdesk, although only available during office hours, is always prompt and efficient. The charge structure is very competitive and the only negative is that they don't pay interest on cash held in account.

Thank you so much for your review Mark, we appreciate the feedback.

I’ve doubled checked with our dealing team and they’ve assured me that we do still offer Stop-Loss TradePlans.

If you’ve experienced any issues with a particular stock and setting up a Stop-Loss, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us, and our contact centre can look into it further.

Like the web site

Like the web site. It's nice and fast. 10 minutes is too short to do research, answer the phone and then input a trade. 30 minutes would be more reasonable.

Let down by no facility to download transaction data

The service works adequately but unlike other platforms it has now facility to download account trading data so it can be analysed in more detail. They do at least have a contact phone number.

An anachronism?

Despite feedback to my last criticism of iWEB, the repayment of funds remains too slow - still taking days. My alternate accounts, IG Index & Trading 212, offer fast payments out - usually same day if not immediate - no commission on trading (iWEB £5 per trade!) AND excellent interest rates on cash balances held in accounts (circa 4.5% currently). iWEB is starting to feel more and more like an expensive anachronism.

Thanks for leaving a review John. I'm sorry to read you're not happy with the timescales to withdraw money from your account.

As previously mentioned, we do offer a CHAPs service which means you can receive your money on the settlement date - you just need to contact us to arrange this.

I'll take your feedback on board though, along with your feedback on our charges and position on interest and we'll consider this as part of anh future developments.

Thanks for leaving a review Jonathan, we appreciate the feedback.

We always aim to execute trades as quickly as possible for you, sometimes market volatility can have an impact on this process. Also, for the trade to complete it needs to settle it in the market and the time taken to do that depends on the asset type.

If you have any more feedback or any queries please don't hesitate to contact us.

Customer Service

There has been some delay to my ISA transfer, but I've had very prompt and helpful customer service to deal with it, which is ultimately far more important for me. My experience with iWeb so far has been a positive one.
