Joint Dealing account

Great value and maximum flexibility for you and your partner.

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.

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 Joint Dealing account, cash balances will be held as a Deposit with Selftrade.

To apply for your account please print and complete an application form.

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.
