If you are interested in share dealing, it has never been easier! You can now buy and sell shares online as well as deal through your bank or over the phone. Buying and selling shares online is the easiest option – all you need to do is open an online share dealing account.
There are many different online share dealing services to choose from; a good share dealing account should offer:
- Online access 24 hours a day
- Instant online transactions
- Simple pricing – usually a monthly fee and a dealing fee
- Discounts for regular dealing
- Real time share prices
- A wide choice of investments
If you buy shares online, you will generally be using an execution broker, which means that your orders are carried out and no advice is given.
You can choose to have more advice about shares, but it is more expensive. If you are fairly confident about your shares knowledge, than an online account is more than sufficient, plus, most offer access to regular investment news updates, share price alerts, watch lists and a range of tools and charts for you to consult before buying or selling any shares.

Please remember the value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up. You may not get back the full amount you have invested. If you're in any doubt whether to buy or sell shares, you should consult an appropriate Financial Adviser.
