Barclays

Through Barclays Stockbrokers, we offer a range of services for the investor who wants to manage their own investments. If you understand the risks and benefits of investing in the market, and don't need investment advice or an investment management service, then our execution-only stockbroking service could be right for you.

Making it easy for you

We offer a full range of products and services online 24/7, meaning that a few clicks is all it takes for you to open accounts, place the majority of your investments and track and manage your portfolio. You'll be able to access a range of account types, each of which offers you a choice of investment products.

We offer low online trading commissions of £6.95 per online trade when you trade 25 times or more in a calendar month, and £9.95 for between 15 and 24 trades; otherwise it's £12.95.

But please bear in mind that:
The value of all investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you initially invested.

Any tax benefits can change in future and their value to you will depend on your individual circumstances.
