Secure messaging
As well as our customer service team being available to help you over the phone, you can now contact us quickly and securely through a simple to use online messaging service when logged in to your account. This is the quickest and easiest way to resolve quick questions or look for help with making your investments.
Managing your dividends
You can continue to manage your dividend income online with interactive investor’s UK service.
Dividends are credited to your account in their market currency once they have been received. You will have the choice for each investment to leave this as cash or automatically reinvest it (see more below).
Automatic dividend reinvestment is available for most popular shares (including the FTSE 350) and a range of investment trusts and ETFs. We do not offer automatic reinvestment of any income from unit trusts and OEICs.
To be reinvested, a dividend must be paid into your account in sterling and it must have a value of £10 or more. Dividend investment costs just 99p a trade and this can be taken from the free credit you receive each month from your service plan.
