Our verdict
J.P. Morgan Personal Investing suits beginners who want tax-wrapped investing under a well known bank name. The catch is the entry level: the minimum deposit is £500, and money held with the firm is covered by FSCS up to GBP 85,000.

Pros and cons
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.
- Web and Mobile app means the same account works on the web and on the app.
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 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.
Fees and currency costs
The entry point is a minimum deposit of £500, which is above the site median of €0.88 and the stock broker median of €2.51. Money coming out is the clearer story: No withdrawal fee, so a pot can be moved or withdrawn without an exit charge.
Who runs it
The service is run by J.P. Morgan Personal Investing Limited, authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under 552016. Support runs on help centre only, so questions are answered in writing rather than by a phone line. The same regulator and licence apply to every account on the platform.

Frequently asked questions
How much do I need to put in to start?+
Getting started takes a minimum deposit of £500. Compared with the site median of €0.88, that is a higher bar, so a beginner with a small amount to invest is better served by a platform built for smaller first pots.
Is my money protected?+
Investments sit with J.P. Morgan Personal Investing Limited and are covered by FSCS up to GBP 85,000, so qualifying balances are protected up to that limit if the firm fails. The firm is authorised and supervised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK.
Who runs the platform and which regulator watches it?+
The operator is J.P. Morgan Personal Investing Limited, and the regulator is the Financial Conduct Authority under licence 552016. That is the UK body responsible for how the firm is run and how client money is handled.
What can I hold in the account?+
The range on offer is etfs, funds and bonds, which suits investors who want a straightforward fund and ETF portfolio rather than a wide dealing platform. Bonds sit in the mix too, so a fixed income holding fits alongside growth assets.
Can I take money out when I want?+
Withdrawals carry No withdrawal fee, so moving money off the platform adds no charge to the cost. Anyone planning to shift a pot elsewhere keeps more of it, though the value of the investments still moves with the market.
Where can I use it?+
You can use the service on Web and Mobile app, with a mobile app included in the offer. Desktop and handheld access are both part of the package, which suits checking a pot between other things rather than sitting at a screen.
What kinds of account can I open?+
The account range covers isa, sipp and lisa, so an ISA, a SIPP, a LISA and a Junior ISA are available. Adults can use the tax wrappers for a longer term plan, and parents can hold savings for a child in the Junior ISA.
Do most retail investors make money?+
Across the site, 70.15% of retail accounts lose money, and the investing ranking shows 72.05%. Most people do not profit, so treat any platform as a home for long term money.
