The Cheapest Irish Stockbroker

Any update on this?

A few people want to buy shares in Irish Life and Permanent plc to attend the AGM. What is the best option? At this stage, it has to be a fast option as well to make sure that they get registered in time to attend the AGM.

I suspect that Sharewatch might be the best option.



No annual fee and €14.95 cost of deal.

It is my experience that TD Waterhouse offers a very poor customer service. To get a query sorted, one has to call their UK call centre: I have often been hanging on the line 30 minutes. Their dealing charges are low but their (hidden) fx charges are unfairly high. For example, if you buy a UK share and want to pay for it from Euro, the conversion could cost you 0.5% but up to 2% for smaller deal sizes.

I left TD in the past week having been with them for three years

very cheap for trades but overall , awful service , if you owned a sterling denominated - London market stock , you always appeared to be in the red regardless of the reality

on two occasions , I sold stocks which I was paid for twice , the first time I made use of the lend of free capital and gained to the tune of a few grand , when it happened a second time , I decided that it was only a matter of time when a malfunctioning system would bite me in the ass and I couldn't be sure my complaint would be competently dealt with


moved to saxo , not as cheap but still far cheaper than the major irish brokers
