All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
Our awards are decided by the only votes that really matter – yours. We asked customers to tell us about their experiences with their stock trading platform. We can now reveal which platforms were rated the best for customer satisfaction.
The winners
The winners and highly commended platforms were decided based on their overall customer satisfaction scores (star ratings) and their recommendation scores (the percentage of survey respondents who would recommend the brand to a friend).

Customer satisfaction ratings methodology
In December 2023, we ran a customer satisfaction survey where we asked people who use a share trading platform whether they’d recommend the provider to a friend. We received 2,944 responses from customers who told us how happy (or not) they were with their stock trading platform.
The survey asked respondents to rate how satisfied they were with their share trading platform on a scale from 1 to 5, and whether they would recommend the provider to a friend. We turned the results into star ratings and shortlisted the top-performing brands for our awards. Where there was a draw in terms of star ratings, we used the recommendation score (the percentage of customers who said they would recommend the brand to a friend) as a tie-breaker.
