Thanks once again for taking the time to share your feedback. I believe that this and your other recent review relate to Persimmon Homes rather than Charles Stanley Direct but please get in touch with us if we can be of any assistance.

Happy Days
Easy to buy and sell funds and stocks. Would be good if there was a withdrawal option on the app rather than have to use a web browser.

CS Direct is a generally efficient and…
CS Direct is a generally efficient and low-cost platform, with a good Helpdesk - particularly as the staff are anglophone and based in Edinburgh. The charges are sensible.
I would have given you 5/5, but I think your website slightly lets you down, largely because it is slow and clunky (eg to look at multiple accounts, you need to keep reverting to the 'My Accounts' page, which consumes quite a bit of time when I need to look at multiple accounts).

Not Quite As Good as it Used to be
Used to be the best value/service for the private investor, with a very personal approach. Since Raymond James took over it is not such good value and the Help Desk does not seem to be so customer orientated. I have full fibre broadband with good speed but CSD's server is some times slow and some features such as charts and comparisons are incompatible with Firefox

Dear Martin:
Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in responding, which was entirely down to me and unrelated to Raymond James! However, I wanted to look further into the browser issues that you report. I'll respond separately to you now by email and thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback.

Suggestions for improvement to researching investments
Easy to use except when researching funds, ITs, etfs etc. Trustnet’s investor search too is easier to use and to make comparisons
