This means that they won&#8217;t charge me percentage-wise like other platforms do. It doesn&#8217;t matter if I hold \u00a31,000 or \u00a31m in there, I will still pay \u00a312.50 which is great.<\/p>\n<p>Beware if you&#8217;re with a platform that charges percentages. For example, Hargreaves Lansdown\u00a0(one of the most famous) charges 0.45% platform fee when investing in funds.<\/p>\n<p>Investing \u00a3100,000 with them will cost you the ridiculous amount of&#8230;.. \u00a3450!<\/p>\n<p>Buying and selling shares with Halifax costs \u00a312.00 and there are some sales periods where you can buy shares for \u00a33.95. If you invest regularly, like I do, you can set up a regular trading plan which costs only \u00a32.00 per trade. Pretty good deal.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that bothers me a little is the 1.5% foreign exchange fee when both buying and selling international shares. I mean.. that&#8217;s a 3% roundtrip reduction to my initial investment and it&#8217;s another reason I don&#8217;t own many individual shares. I invest in global passive index funds.<\/p>\n<p>The user interface is not so straightforward and not as intuitive as my old TD Investing account. However, after a few times, you get used to it or ask for help from the live chat.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, the live chat is a great tool and usually the support is very knowledgeable. Although it&#8217;s not available\u00a024\/7, they respond quickly during working hours. I also remember calling me once because my standing order failed to deposit the scheduled amount I had set up.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2958\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2958\"

id=\"caption-attachment-2971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Halifax Marketwatch Tool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h5>What if I want to leave?<\/h5>\n<p>The other important thing when selecting a platform is the exit fees. Some platforms charge really high exit fees because they want to lock you in. Halifax is average.<\/p>\n<p>You can transfer funds out for \u00a325 per fund up to a maximum \u00a3125. So basically, you&#8217;ll get charged for the first 5 funds and the rest are free.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so easy to switch; I just completed a Halifax switch form and let Halifax do the talking with my old provider (TD Direct). The brokers are forced to comply with the switching regulations, no questions asked. The same applies when you want to switch from Halifax to another provider.<\/p>\n<p>Transferring funds into Halifax is free, by the way.<\/p>\n<h2>How do Halifax charges compare to other platforms?<\/h2>\n<p>For the sake of simplicity, I will assume you hold a fixed amount over a year and perform 4\u00a0trades a year.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look at the table below and see how different platforms charge depending on the amount invested.<\/p>\n<table class=\"charges-table\">\n<caption class=\"light-grey\"><strong>Platform charges comparison for Stocks and Shares ISA<\/strong><\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Amount<\/th>\n<th>Hargreaves Lansdown<\/th>\n<th>Interactive Investor (TD Direct)<\/th>\n<th>Fidelity*<\/th>\n<th>Halifax Sharedealing<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"light-grey\">\u00a310,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-yellow\">\u00a392<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-yellow\">\u00a390<\/td>\n<td class=\"very-green\">\u00a335<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-green\">\u00a363<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"light-grey\">\u00a350,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-orange\">\u00a3272<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-yellow\">\u00a390<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-orange\">\u00a3175<\/td>\n<td class=\"very-green\">\u00a363<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"light-grey\">\u00a3100,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"mid-red\">\u00a3497<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-green\">\u00a390<\/td>\n<td class=\"light-red\">\u00a3350<\/td>\n<td class=\"very-green\">\u00a363<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"light-grey\">\u00a3500,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"strong-red\">\u00a31797<\/td>\n<td class=\"very-green\">\u00a390<\/td>\n<td class=\"strong-red\">\u00a31,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"very-green\">\u00a363<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"light-grey\">\u00a31m<\/td>\n<td class=\"strong-red\">\u00a33,047<\/td>\n<td class=\"very-green\">\u00a390<\/td>\n<td class=\"strong-red\">\u00a32,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"very-green\">\u00a363<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How did I come up with these numbers? See the resources links below. Here&#8217;s an\u00a0example calculation of \u00a310,000 invested in a fund for a year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hargreaves Lansdown:<\/em>\u00a00.45% annual charge * \u00a310,000 + 4 trades * \u00a311.95 = \u00a392.8<br \/>\n<em>Interactive Investor (TD Direct):<\/em>\u00a0\u00a322.50 * 4 times per year includes trading fees = \u00a390<br \/>\n<em>Fidelity Investments:\u00a0<\/em>0.35% annual charge * \u00a310,000, free trades = \u00a335<br \/>\n<em>Halifax Sharedealing: \u00a3<\/em>12.50 annual charge + 4 trades * \u00a312.50 = \u00a362.50<\/p>\n<p>You can actually drop the Halifax costs even lower if you invest monthly for \u00a32 per trade.<\/p>\n<p>*Fidelity charges a percentage-wise fee when investing in funds, but a fixed capped \u00a345 fee when investing in ETFs. So if your fund is provided also as an ETF you can just pay \u00a345 instead of \u00a31,000 which feels kind of a strange setup to me, but whatever.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be really geeky with your ISA research, then have a look at Monevator&#8217;s awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/monevator.com\/compare-uk-cheapest-online-brokers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISA comparison article<\/a>. It&#8217;s an excellent piece of information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.halifax.co.uk\/sharedealing\/charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Halifax S&amp;S ISA charges<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hl.co.uk\/investment-services\/isa\/savings-interest-rates-and-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hargreaves Lansdown S&amp;S ISA charges<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.co.uk\/our-services\/our-accounts\/charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interactive Investor (TD Direct) S&amp;S ISA charges<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fidelity.co.uk\/investor\/funds\/fund-charge.page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fidelity S&amp;S ISA charges<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How to open a Halifax S&amp;S account or transfer your ISA<\/h2>\n<p>ISAs run from April to April.\u00a0When you hear someone saying &#8220;this tax year&#8221; they mean the period between April 5th to next year&#8217;s April 4th. Then your limit resets and you can invest more up to the new year&#8217;s limit.<\/p>\n<p>For April 17-18, you can invest up to \u00a320,000 to a Stocks and Shares ISA, assuming you don&#8217;t have any other ISAs. If you have other ISAs (like a Cash ISA) they all share your total limit.<\/p>\n<p>So if you haven&#8217;t subscribed to an ISA <em>this tax year<\/em>\u00a0and want to sign up with Halifax, go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halifax.co.uk\/sharedealing\/our-accounts\/stocks-and-shares-isa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Halifax Share Dealing<\/a>\u00a0website and hit Apply Now.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to transfer an existing S&amp;S ISA then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halifax.co.uk\/isas\/transfer-isa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">follow the instructions here<\/a>.

This is the reason some very successful restaurants like Chipotle, ask you only a few questions. Large wrap -&gt; White rice -&gt; Chicken -&gt; Guacamole, Cheese :)<\/p>\n<p>With so many providers around, the competition is fierce. This is a good thing which only benefits us, consumers.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s also very confusing! Which is why I wrote this article.<\/p>\n<p>Common sense applies here too. A very cheap platform, a solid business name behind it and good customer service. Common sense also led me to avoid Halifax for my pension fund for now. That&#8217;ll soon come in another article.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this guide helped you understand what matters when choosing an ISA, regardless of which provider you&#8217;ll go with. Please let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n<p><em>P.S.
