Below you will find our independent Stocks & Shares ISA best buy table. These tables are created using our own independent research, expert knowledge, customer reviews and personal experience. We regularly update the providers listed in our tables. If there are any providers you would like added or that you feel are missing from our best buy list, please get in touch.
How to use the table
We have simplified our table by listing each provider alphabetically. We provide an overall summary, an indication of cost and for ease a link through to the provider's website. If there is an exclusive promotion available, we will highlight this in the 'MTTM Promotion' column. In the interests of transparency, Money to the Masses will receive a small fee for each new customer acquired by any platform that features an * in the description column. Editorial independence is paramount to Money to the Masses and so in no way is our table influenced by 3rd parties. If you would prefer Money to the Masses not to receive a fee then you are free to navigate by yourself to the provider site of your choosing, remember though that you will not qualify for any exclusive promotions listed in the table.
