Reviews of Hargreaves Lansdown

I've been using HL for 5 years and I am very satisfied. The choice of funds is large and the trading process is easy. Over the years, their website has improved and lots of useful content has been added. The HL app is also robust. Overall, I highly recommend the company.

M. W.

As a beginner retail investor, I've found this a very accessible and well structred platform. There's also a huge amount of helpful information plastered across the site and available to subscribe to. The app is also very handy and simple to use, and the range of assets available is huge.

L. J.

I have been investing through Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) for a couple of years now and happy with the service provided. I predominantly use the android app which I find convenient, easy to use, and enables me to access and choose from a huge range of shares, funds, etc. My only small criticism/suggestion is topping up the account which currently involves scanning/typing the information on the card. Unless I have overlooked this, it would be great to have an option to save the card details. Otherwise I am pleased to have chosen to invest with HL!

M. R.

Easy to set up a stocks and shares ISA with modest fees - low (purchase) trade fees if you use the regular monthly investment option. App and website both very easy to use.

R. S.

Very good 'dashboard' for managing HL's Active Savings platform but they need to offer more options for easy access accounts: currently only 3 with only one of those three institutions that most people will be familiar with in the UK.... I'm sure HL is working on providing more options as competition hots up for multi-savings platforms.

j. s.

Customer for 10 years plus. Nothing out there to beat them on the customer service side, all Intelligent, UK based people who answer the phone within a few calls he fix everything first time

K. B.

I have a Sipp, S & S Isa and active saver with HL and would highly recommend them.

Great service, excellent rates and do all my financial planning through HL.

R. G.

Hargreaves Lansdown provide an excellent shares and funds platform . But it comes an an excruciating price. Funds are charged at 0.45% so the bigger your fund or pension the bigger the charges. For funds below around £50,000 this is ok but for more than this they are best avoided. I use them because I avoid funds and stick to individual shares, ETF's and investment trusts. These instruments only attract commission charges for buying and selling so taking advantage of the efficient and easy to use service without being crushed by excessive charges.

I. F.

Excellent investment platform, easy to use, plenty of investment choices, discounted/preferrential dealing costs, top service! The best of all is that if you need to call their customer service, a person answers and they deal with your query straight away, without passing you through the departments, menus etc. Recommended!

d. U.

Good service, good web site, so why not 5 stars, well you can only get access to your account and trade if you have a MOBILE signal, WiFi is not sufficient due to the two factor authentication. It meant I was locked out of my account while on holiday.... since discovered if you write to them they can turn it off , so that solves holidays, so increased score

K. B.

Would prefer lower charges. Also regular statements do not give date of original purchase, so not easy to compare performance. On medium to long term basis, investments have provided a reasonable return. But some concern over newspaper comments about charges and use of the 'Wealth' recommendation lists.

I. B.

Online facility is fairly straightforward to use and the staff are always helpful if you get into difficulties.

J. C.

I have been using H&L to handle my ISA investments for eight years now. I have had no problems with the administration of my account, and they have always responded well to instructions.

B. P.

Hargreaves Lansdown consistently operate professionally instilling confidence as an investor. I use their stock broker and international currency exchange services. As a long term client, I have no reservations recommending their services whether an experienced or novice investor.

s. g.

I have been a client of Hargreaves Lansdown for a few years. Their service is always excellent, prompt and efficient. I cannot speak more highly of them.

N. G.

The few times I have had to telephone the company, my queries have always being clearly and efficiently answered, especially about SIPP withdrawals/drawdown. HL may be more expensive than other brokers, but their customer service, so far for me, has been worth it.

K. J.

I have been using HL since before they went public.The only place I could find who would take over a small, very small, ISA, or it's forerunner, from the previous administrator, who were stopping. Can't remember the details now. Always had instant response from them, never any problems. My only regret is that I did'nt take up my wife's share allocation when HL went public.

M. S.

When you speak you are all very professional in all aspects. No pressure just give us the information we require. Thankyou.

F. M.

I have a HL SIPP and also use the Active Savings Hub more recently. From a customer service POV HL have always been great, very accessible over the phone and helpful. The App is very easy to use although I’m sure there’s more I could do on it that I don’t! I also enjoy the bite size articles that I’ve opted to get sent to my email. Thanks HL.

C. P.

Always easy to log onto, kept upto date by regular emails, and everything clearly explained and easy to navigate.

c. T.

Service is good, though some of the information has little or no relevance to myself. However if you dig into the share or fund you are interested in you can find out a lot more than other companies might offer you.

B. G.

Having been a client of hargreaves lansdown for over 10 years I like the detailed fund information, easy to navigate website and helpful staff by telephone or e mail. Their fees may not be the cheapest but I think the platform is one of the best.

P. M.

Platform works like a dream always accessible fast credit of dividends,fast update of trades,long history of trades so you can always look back if necessary, good research-if it works don't fix it

C. P.

An easy way to manage your investments. I love the app as it’s user friendly . I’ve had to call once or twice about some procedural questions and was treated very respectfully .

Platform is reasonably good. The fees are much higher than some of the emerging platforms. One thing I find peculiar is that everyone on the phone lines tends to speak in a “public school boy” accent?? It definitely doesn’t scream diversity, more of colonialism. I wouldn’t mind so much, but some of the nonsense I’ve had spurted out of the mouths of the people that I’ve tried speaking to leaves me scratching my head. Are you as “educated” as you sound? 🤣 I feel investing should be for all, and I think HL could do more to change their elitist image, and adapt their fee structure to appeal more to the Everyman - who could probs do with a financial leg-up in this world. That said, overall impressive is still positive.

T. W.

Very polite staff but the Boss guys need to wake up and offer SPAC IPO notifications... Also they don't support OTCs or CSEs too many times they failed to have a specific share I wanted. I do like the website and phone app seems they need a better CEO to take them to next level... I need to consider moving to Interactive investor.. Who support far more stocks shares etc. Also very little info of USA shares... Not the staffs fault lazy CEO and owners fault ... Need to pull fingers out their as.

K. n. a. #. d. u.

Hargreaves are OK for beginners or one off investments, especially companies which are not as popular or on other exchanges away from. The big ones. Better customer service than the online brokers as you can actually talk to people on a phone lol

As a workplace the new CEO has led vast, positive changes in the previous four years for the staff (thankfully reversing the steady exodus under the impossibly well paid Ian Gorham). As a company they offer excellent customer services and superb investment resources - their website is second to none.

A. S.

Great service and functionality. Really pleased with Hargreaves Lansdown as a product. I’ve got a LISA, S&S ISA, Junior SIPP and Junior ISA for my daughter.

N. P.

Used this for years, extremely reliable & safe. The customer service staff are incredibly well trained and always provide a good service. Fees are on the higher side compared to other platforms, but genuinely feel it's worth it.

R. B.

HL used to offer a transfer from a trust to a JISA. This was 'temporarily' suspended early on in the pandemic, and has not, as yet, been reinstated. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the various legal cases that are challenging HL over the Woodford debacle.

A. B.

Not a very a good company to work for if you go to work for them on one of their help desks, it's akin to working in a posh call center, and the salary was pretty low for such a profitable company. As far as using their investment services, I think they are quite good - I've not had a problem with them so far and I would recommend.

N. B.

I have found HL to be very professional and efficient, I find the website a little difficult to navigate sometimes but could be because I have minimal understanding of shares and trading.

m. l.

Website and Staff are great -however fees are much higher than competitors , so I am thinking about switching

k. P.

Straight forward and when I had questions had immediate useful support.

M. C.

Always perfect service - can not fault in anyway. Used this service for many years and now mainly for ISA fund dealings.

C. B.

General feel is they know their way around. Bright people so always fun to talk to.

R. J.

Always dealt with my requests quickly and efficiently, explaining the process to me in a clear and concise way. Very happy with the service provided.

A. L.

Initially recommended Hargreaves Lansdown via a family member who was a bit more up to date with financial investments than I was and they have proved good so far Set up by two Bristolians in their back room and have now extended to a large financial company, who I think do their homework and know their stuff and yes they will charge quite a bit but if you know that they do their homework then at least it is worth it. They do regular anural reviews, the only drawback is that they will do this over the telephone, but I do prefer to see someone face to face and this can be arranged for you to visit their offices in Anchor Road though the waiting time is longer (not too sure about home visits if you have a mobility problem) - these have proved my preferred option and as you are paying management fees then why not use it and it is worth reviewing things The place can appear to be clinical but it is a business

V. T.

I have no experience of buying shares, nor did I buy many but I was courteously helped throughout the process

D. B.

Excellent and my only critique is that cash ISA transfers in are not meantime available.

s. g.

This is a brilliant platform for investing in shares, ETFs and Funds

Started investing with Hargreaves Lansdown in June 2011. Good online resources and newsletters to keep informed about stocks and shares. Easy to choose investments and manage online.

J. F.

I am only a small share holder but nevertheless feel Hargreaves Landsdown still look after me,

D. S.

I've found Hargreaves lansdown Web site very good and their customer service very helpful

T. K.

I have been reasonably satisfied with Hargreaves Lansdown and investments have done alright.

O. E.

Great flexibility over your investment and informative graphs and displays

H. A.

Very easy, simple and cost effective service. It is a good value for money

P. S.

Had a few small issues in the past but overall a decent service, there are cheaper alternatives but I don't think they have the same amount of research.
