Company dealing account

Great value and our widest range of investment choice.

Get maximum flexibility with access to our full range of investments and resources.

Please bear in mind that:
  • Selftrade provides you with a range of tools and information to help you make informed investment decisions but does not provide investment advice. If you are in any doubt as to the risk or suitability of an investment or product you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser.

Important news: Selftrade has become a bank with deposit taking permissions granted by the Financial Services Authority. This marks an extension of Selftrade’s execution-only stock broking service, which remains at the heart of the Selftrade business.

Selftrade’s Terms and Conditions have therefore changed.

When you open a Company dealing account, cash balances will be held as a Deposit with Selftrade.

To apply for your account either apply online (where online application is available) or print and complete an application form.

Add existing investments to your Company dealing account

Having all your investments in one easily accessible place makes it easier to monitor and manage them. So if your company holds share certificates, transfer them into your Company dealing account. There's no charge – just complete a separate CREST Transfer Form for each different investment, send it to us with the certificate(s) and we'll do the rest. As soon as the shares show on your account they are available for dealing. (Please note: whilst they are being added to your account you will not be able to sell them. This generally takes 3 – 10 working days.)

And if you've a dealing account elsewhere, you can transfer that to us too - we'll even help with any costs you incur.

Invest in your own future too

It is just as important to make the most of your own assets as it is your company's. Our range of personal accounts helps you to do just that – from day-to-day trading to tax-efficient investment in an ISA or SIPP.

Please remember: The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary: you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
