Our 'Introduce A Friend' offer

Thank you for your interest in our services and the 'Introduce a friend' offer.

You can find out more about how we can help you invest in the stock market through shares, funds, bonds etc via our website, or by giving us a call on 0845 0700 720. Meantime, here's a quick summary of what we offer.

Please bear in mind that:
  • The value of investments can fall as well as rise and any income from them is not guaranteed. You should be prepared to lose your investment. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
  • 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.

Our 'Introduce a friend' offer

All you need to do is open a Dealing, Shares ISA or SIPP Dealing account and then within 3 months either:

  • Make one or more purchases of £500 or more

    OR

  • Add share certificates worth £500 or more (there's no charge to add certificates to your account)

    OR

  • Transfer investments from another broker

and we'll pay £50 into your dealing account.

If you do choose a Shares ISA we'll automatically open a Dealing account for you and credit that account. And since credits to a SIPP Dealing account must be made via your SIPP Administrator, we'll need to pay the money into a separate Dealing account. If you do not have a Selftrade Dealing account, we will issue a cheque to you in your name.

We'll also say 'thank you' to the person who introduced you by giving them £50 in their account too.

How do I apply for an account?

The quickest and easiest way is to apply online using the link in the invitation email from your friend. We will usually be able to open your account immediately. You can use your debit card to fund the account and trade right away.

If your email doesn't have this link (or you simply prefer to apply offline) just call us on 0845 0700 720 to request an application pack. Do remember to quote the IAF references in the email we sent you.

If you're not sure which account might suit you best, our Account Selector will give you some ideas based on your answer to 3 simple questions.

We hope we've covered the things you'll want to know but, if not, do give us a call on 0845 0700 720; we're here Monday to Friday 7.45am-7pm and we'll be pleased to hear from you.

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.
