Getting to know your ii account

Key changes from 11th December 2017

new Terms 

When your account was moved to interactive investor, new terms applied to reflect our new services. Please take the time to review the Terms for all accounts that you currently hold. 

As we’d like you to stay with us and have plenty of time to try out your improved service, there will be no stock transfer-out fees charged if you choose to leave us before the end of September 2018.

new rates & charges 

We’re proud of our pricing; putting fairness and simplicity at the heart of it. It’s for that reason every interactive investor customer has simple charges that won’t increase as your portfolio grows; making our prices even more competitive as you build your portfolio or consolidate other assets. 

other key changes to your service

improved international trading

An enhanced international trading offering allows you the option to hold up to nine currencies in a Trading and/or SIPP account. This means you can trade in your chosen international markets without having to convert currency with each trade. (Please note that current HMRC rules mean that ISA cash must be held in sterling, so while international stocks can be held in your ISA account, any sale must convert back into sterling.)

live prices

Live streaming prices will not be a features of your new trading account, however when you are logged in to your account you will be able to obtain a live price from your portfolio view or from a stock quote.

new SIPP
We have launched a new SIPP in partnership with leading pension administration specialist, Barnett Waddingham.

You will be able to place market orders, limit / fill or kill and stop loss orders on UK and international markets. However, you are unable to set multiple limit orders on the same stock.

The pay away service is now available as an automated service but there is no periodic pay away function. Dividends for international stocks are now paid in the relevant base currency.
