Pj, where did I say that reviews upset me? And it’s “their” not “there” in the context of your final sentence.

#109 Exactly my own experience. Escaped from the Barclays debacle (after many years using very good re-labelled Charles Schwab site) to find AJ Bell nice website and good and helpful support.
I don't own any shares and no one has asked me to say this.

Will be over 300p soon.

...Then on towards 400p.

This Stock has more room to run up 56% so far !

pjballsorts61 I assume you refer to my post on 24 December.

AJB responded with a contact to discuss/resolve my query, which has been done to my complete satisfaction and in total accordance with FCA handbook(6)+(7).

I was curious to check these Trust Pilot reviews.

Some are ill-considered.

Quote: If you don't right down the user name you put on the application, when you come to log in (a month later in my case given the time it took them to do anything) then you'll have to call up to get your username as they don't issue a welcome email containing any sort of confirmation like every other company in the world does. Unqoute.

Forgotten sign in details is hardly the fault of AJB.

Another relates to the money laundering regulations that all financial companies must comply with and another to overseas share purchases in non-uk markets.

In nearly all the negative reviews (27 negative out of the 44 total), AJB responded with a contact to discuss/resolve.

Could I just ask, are you a previous customer of A J Bell? If so, what exactly do you think they are doing wrong when it comes to customer service?

AJ Bell perhaps a bit rough round the edges, but does the job. As an ex Barclays client who fled from the Smart Investor launch, am happy to have swapped Glasgow for Manchester. Successfully keeping well clear of the City.
The IPO was a little bonus, even if I didn't get many.

I have a SIPP with A J Bell. Overall I am very pleased with the website and the customer service. The staff are very helpful and professional. I took the plunge as a first time investor and bought some shares in the IPO. Without doubt it's been the best investment I've ever made. Will be interesting to see if the share price takes a further spike following next week's trading statement

[saltaire111] 16/1/2019 20:34

Well, yes, in a way. I bought shares in the float and I still own them. So I guess they are paying me.

But I just give my honest opinion Where I see opportunities and threats. And I think AJB is one of the best opportunities in the market over the next few years.

Agreed, saltaire111

Also - many years ago I was given the advice by the partners in a very successful boutique venture capital business to take my advice and business from as far away from the square mile as possible.

I’m a SIPP customer and AJB have been superb. I think that Andy Bell was right to build his resources in the north rather than in London, as the quality of staff is generally much better than London based firms and the average cost per employee is about 30% lower! This enables AJB to offer better quality customer service and low fees.

They recently reduced their fees.

[fjgooner] 15/1/2019 20:01

@ meshiey re post 94

"One of the cheapest SIPP providers around so they have ability to raise prices with very little customer fallout imo."

I'd disagree.

I’ve also been an AJ Bell SIPP client for many years and would definitely move elsewhere if fees rose significantly.

That said, I hope that fees remain stable, as I'd agree that the service is very good.
