    Using Degiro - Find it good and offers variety on loads of exchanges - has at least some 'test' before you opt to trade on leveraged/ complex products. However, looking to invest in Dividend ETFs and see their choice is limited. Is anyone using Robinhood?

    RaboDirect - Investment Service Terminates on 24/4/17

    Yeah. It is annoying. I called them, sounds like jpd's theory is correct - the official word is that they are concentrating on savings. Well at 1%, wtf is the point really. They are defaulting investments fund management to Cantor Fitzgerald. If you dont sell, the funds will roll over on the...

    Back in 2012. Went ~6k in arrears I think. Just to add - it was 3 payments I missed, not 3 years in case I gave that impression. When I got a new gig, I repaid BOI over a few months. Gave them something, then agreed an over-payment of the monthly to reduce and eliminate. I think in hindsight...
