First Direct Share Dealing

On-line share dealing is available to First Direct banking customers to buy and sell UK equities either on-line or by telephone. You will first need to apply for this service online.

There are also a number of free services that you do not have to register for, including company share prices and market indices, along with market and company headlines.

You will need to register to access specific company share price charts, view the full content of a news story or use their free Portfolio Manager service. Portfolio Manager gives you the facility to create up to three 'model' portfolios for you to monitor the performance of shares you are interested in without having to own or buy them.

About E*Trade UK

In 1998, ESI and E*TRADE Group founded E*TRADE UK. Defining the new territory where British investors can 'stalk' their next investment and 'pounce', timing their trade to the second. The launch of E*TRADE UK's online trading service is just a first step in a process which will fully exploit interactive channels to maximise benefits for the private individual over the years to come. Building on this vision, the aquisition of E*TRADE UK by E*TRADE Group in January 2000 promises to be a critical step towards the goal of developing the first global cross border network for online investors.

E*Trade UK offers several levels of service. Some of these require a monthly subscription while others, such as trading accounts, do not have a fee.
