comdirect ltd, which has operated in the UK since June 2000, is a member of the London Stock Exchange and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Their expertise in online broking has been developed since 1997, when comdirect bank AG launched its internet service in Germany.
comdirect ltd is a pioneer of a fair deal for investors, offering the same flat price of £12.50 for online and phone trades.
