Once good, not so much now
Again a disappointed customer. I chose TSC some years ago for their low ongoing charges. Their trading charges were not the greatest, but as an investor that only buys a handful of times a year, the ongoing monthly charges were my priority.
Not any longer! The monthly charges are x5 times higher after the takeover. I am already in the process of withdrawing my portfolio to another platform.
I am dismayed to see people have been charged for similar, after a declaration that it wouldn't happen!

Hello John,
Thank you for your feedback.
Whilst the ii charging structure may not suit every investor we're confident that you'll love their service and ii have put in place a price promise so that you can give it a go for 6 months if you choose to. If after 6 months you have paid more than you would have at The Share centre ii will refund you the difference (terms apply).
It's worth a look at their Trustpilot page to see the reviews from happy customers before you make a decision.
All the best.

If you are undecided about the transfer…
If you are undecided about the transfer to Interactive Investor, you may wish to read the Times Money Mentor's customer experience ratings; ii score the second lowest score (49%) for happiness with the service and the lowest score (50%) for trust.
As many others have posted, with charges applied at customer level rather than account level, many many TSC customers will be substantially worse off

Hello Clive,
Thank you for your review.
Interactive Investor have over 9000 reviews on Trustpilot and are rated ‘Excellent’ with an overall score of 4.7 out of 5, increasing from 4.5 over the last few months.
They were also voted as one of the top 5 Investment services at the Boring Money Investor choice awards 2020 and are rare rated particularly highly on price:
https://www.boringmoney.co.uk/learn/articles/gongs-and-glory/
We’re confident that you will like ii’s simple and fair fees and have put in place a Price Promise for customers who decide to move over from the Share Centre, so if after 6 months you would have paid less at the Share Centre, ii will refund you the difference (terms apply).
Whatever you decide, we wish you luck in your future investing.

The Share Centre was an excellet.
The Share Centre was an excellent broker with reasonable monthly subscription charges. Their "merger" with ii has lost me as a customer because my monthly subscription would increase from £2 to £10. Unacceptable!

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your kind words - I am glad that you found The Share Centre to be a wonderful home for your investments.
Should you decide that you would like to be a part of the migration to Interactive Investor, they offer a 'price promise' to all new customers. This means, for the first six months that your account is on their platform, they will review how much more you have paid in administration fee's compared to what you would have paid if still on The Share Centre's platform. The difference will then be refunded to you.
In addition, you could receive a free trade each month depending on the tariff you choose and what you think is right for you. you also have the opportunity to transfer away from Interactive Investor, free of charge in the first six months.
I wish you well in your future investing and if you require any further assistance, please contact our customer service team on 01296 41 41 41; we're available from 8:00 - 18:00, Monday - Friday.

Used to be a good company but no more
Used to be a good company but no more. As part of the take over by Interactive Investor, they promised no exit fees for moving my SIPP away to Vanguard. They then charged me a £100 exit fee, blaming their administrators. I've reported them to the Financial Ombudsman. I'm transferring my other Share Centre accounts to Halifax Share Dealing as they're a lot cheaper then TSC and II.
UPDATE 10/11/2020 - Despite Abi from the Share Centre promising to contact me (see below), I haven't heard anything. I've taken this to the Financial Ombudsman and will post any update here.

very basic!
all fine when you don't need any support whatsoever, but as soon as help is needed or anything slightly away from plain vanilla buying and selling they are very hard to get an answer out of and not at all helpful. Don't even both using the "contact us" web form - it takes ages for anyone to reply. I have been trying to move shares from my own account with a broker into my share centre ISA and it has been painful and seems like it will also be costly. I will be looking at alternatives!

They picked the perfect time to rip us all off
It's bad enough that this merger is hiking fees by 500%. What makes this so utterly deplorable however, is the fact that they are doing this at a time when share prices are so low.
If you sell, you lose. If you stay, you lose. These scumbags need to be sued. I'm going to file a complaint with the FCA in the meantime.
UPDATE
Typical copy and paste response from share.com. And no, if you check the terms, they will NOT refund you the difference in costs. That is a lie.

Beware ii merger - new charges already
Beware — ii takeover already means eye watering and cynical new costs for customers. We have several accounts with Share Centre having moved to them some years back (and been very happy) after Barclays and AJ Bell pulled stunts to make big fee rises. Hidden in the small print on one of the accounts on the ii “benefits of the merger” is a new charge for over £300 per annum! Complained and got predictable standard response - and its “final”. It certainly is. Beware.

A Sad Past Customer
After being a customer for numerous years (since its inception/formation) I am not convinced that this joining forces with ii will be in the best interests of small scale investors who have a portfolio that provides retirement income (and growth) but does not wish to be an active trader. As part of this merger did constructive discussions take place with such investors/customers who have a small retirement portfolio, and if not, why ? If a structure similar to that on offer with several of the household names ( won't advertise!) was given, I, like many others I am sure, would have stayed, but no direct or proactive effort was made.

Hello John,
I'm sorry to hear that you aren't convinced that a transfer to ii is for you.
Have you heard that ii are offering a price promise for your first six months so that if you pay more than you would have done with The Share Centre they will reimburse the difference?
Interactive investor are committed to reviewing fees to remain competitive and provide value to their customers so this six month period would allow you try their service for six months with no exit fee if it's not for you.

Good company, shame it has been taken over.
The experience I had today was excellent which is why I have rated them as 5. Once they become Interactive Investor I would have probably rated them as 2 or 3. It's not that they are not a good company but they are not for the likes of me who only has a small value account.

Very disappointed about the takeover by…
Very disappointed about the takeover by ii. We have a small disabled person's trust fund invested in a couple of Vanguard funds with The Share Centre. There is no trading so we currently pay a platform fee of just £2 per month. After the Interactive Investor takeover the fees are increasing to £9.99 per month for an Investor Plan account plus £29.99 per month admin fee for corporate & trust accounts. That's a 1899% increase and will wipe out the modest dividends that the trust earns from this investment. There is a price promise that states "if after 6 months you would have paid less at The Share Centre, ii will refund the difference". Although this apparently doesn't apply to trust accounts and there is no flexibility offerred. Unfortunately there are very limited options for alternative brokers that accept trust accounts, so looks like we will have to sell the investments, realise a capital loss and forfeit the income.
Update - the copy and paste response from TSC below does not reflect well on the quality of their customer service. Once the company has gone, this review page will be meaningless. I suggest anyone else not happy with this situation places a review on the Interactive Investor review page also.

A great investment platform
My wife and I both have portfolios with the Share Centre. We have been with them a few years and were a bit sad to see they will be taken over. Sad because ii will have to be really great to match the Share Centre. They have a good website. Easy to use and very functional. They have a very wide choice of equities from which to chose and even if one isn't on the platform, with a bit of nagging you can get it included.
The call centre staff are nothing short of terrific. Knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to deal with

move your shares now before charges go up 500% !!!…
the Share Centre is in the process of being bought by Interactive Investor. The major consequence for those using them to hold your shares is after 6 months of the takeover commencing , your basic service fee is going to rocket from £2 a month to £9.99 a month - a 500% increase ! If you are a small share holder, this will wipe out any dividends earned . I am looking to move my share holdings elsewhere. So far , I have identified I can transfer them for free and only pay a £2.50 a month service fee to A J Bell who have great reviews on here and are a WHICH best buy.....Greed never pays in the end - guess they are gonna find a lot of customers go elsewhere

Very poor complaints reaction
All the share dealing and customer service teams are excellent and would merit 5 stars. However the complaints department drags this score down.
I have complained on numerous occasions about the badly designed printouts for portfolios with wasted space and minute writing to which I have to hold a magnifying glass to read as do many of many of my fellow senior citizens.
This could so easily be corrected yet nobody comes back to me on this or seems to care - very poor customer relations.

Fatally flawed for Trust clients
I suppose I should applaud TSC for being one of the few execution-only providers to accept applications from a trust. But.... offering this facility is utterly pointless when you don’t allow investments in North American equities. Yes that’s right. Half of the globe’s market capitalisation is off limits to trust entities.
TSC say this is because they can’t accept W-8BEN forms from ‘complex’ clients. This is tosh. They can if they chose to. It’s simply the beneficial owner who has to submit the form. HL, for example, understand this.
And worse, some staff (at least two on the dealing desk I spoke to) are adamant that trust clients CAN invest in North American stocks. AND the Terms and Conditions state that ALL types of client can buy US and Canadian stocks.
But the staff and the T&Cs are wrong. I consequently wasted much time trying to make my application...

Thank you for your valued feedback and I'm truly sorry that you are unhappy with your recent experience with The Share Centre.
We pride ourselves on our award winning customer service and I sincerely apologise that you did not receive our usual high standard of service on this occasion.
A business decision was made in November 2019 due to a change in W8-Ben requirements that trust, company and charity accounts would no longer be able to trade in North American stocks. This is because we class these types of accounts as 'complex' accounts. This means that we are unable to confirm exactly who the stock would belong to as there would be multiple trustees linked to the account.
