Pros and cons
Dodl
Pros
- Commission-free dealing: £0 to buy or sell shares, with free deposits and withdrawals either side of the balance.
- An ISA, SIPP and LISA sit alongside stocks, etfs and funds in a single app, so wrappers and dealing stay in one place.
- Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, with investor protection of FSCS up to GBP 85,000.
Cons
- Foreign exchange costs 0.75%, so currency conversion is the charge that bites anyone buying shares outside sterling.
- Help runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone route among them, so a complex dispute has to be put in writing.
- The market list is stocks, etfs and funds, which leaves out bonds, commodities and currency pairs.
J.P. Morgan Personal Investing
Pros
- Money is covered by FSCS up to GBP 85,000 if the firm fails.
- isa, sipp and lisa puts pension, adult, lifetime and child money under one roof.
- Taking money out carries No withdrawal fee, so exiting costs nothing.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, with no phone line for urgent questions.
- The £500 entry deposit sits well above the site median of €0.88.
- Buying is limited to etfs, funds and bonds, so the range suits fund and ETF investors more than direct share dealing.
Who each suits
Dodl
Who it suits
- Beginners in the UK who want their first ISA or SIPP and do not want commission on a share dealing.
- Investors who keep a cash buffer alongside a portfolio and want interest on the part that is not invested.
- Pension savers who prefer one app for the SIPP, the ISA and the general account rather than several providers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Forex traders, who should look at CFI: it opens from a $0 minimum, and currency markets sit outside the stocks, etfs and funds on offer here.
- Anyone after a euro bank account rather than a UK wrapper: bunq's minimum deposit is €10, and that product sits outside the isa, sipp and lisa range here.
- Readers after credit rather than investments: Fiesta Credito MX is supervised by CONDUSEF, a different market from the Financial Conduct Authority's.
J.P. Morgan Personal Investing
Who it suits
- Beginners starting a long term pot for the first time, since the service is aimed at beginners.
- Parents who want child savings and adult investing in the same place, with isa, sipp and lisa to choose from.
- People who want to check and trade in the same place, using Web and Mobile app.
Who should look elsewhere
- Small starter pots: bunq takes a minimum deposit of €10, a lower bar than £500.
- Anyone who wants to open with no minimum: CFI's minimum deposit is $0.
- Mexican market savers: Fiesta Credito MX is regulated by CONDUSEF, not a UK scheme.
