What makes ii the UK’s most trusted investment platform?

We have over 18,000 5-star Trustpilot reviews - that's more 5-star reviews than all of our direct competitors combined.

How do we know we are the  UK's most trusted investment provider?

We teamed up with the independent research company, Investment Trends, to establish the UK's most popular investment platforms.  We then looked at how they compared to ii.

We explored whether they offer non-advised services and products, like ISAs and SIPPs, which helped us identify our direct competitors. Then, we compared their reviews on Trustpilot to see how they stacked up against ii.

Data gathered May & July 2022

How do we measure up? 

We found that based on over 22,000 reviews, ii has more than 18,000 5-star reviews and more 5-star reviews than any of our  direct competitors collectively. Just take a look at the results below.

Why Trustpilot?

Trustpilot is an independent review platform whose purpose is to help you find companies you can trust. They host a place for customers to share their experiences with other potential customers. Anyone can post a review, and Trustpilot are a neutral party throughout the process.

Trust scores and ratings are based on several factors in addition to reviews: how long the company has been on the site, if positive and negative feedback from customers is actively invited and what most recent feedback indicates. Altogether this gives an accurate, up-to-date representation of who we are, what we do, and shows how we're responsive to customers both on Trustpilot and held accountable not only the regulations of industry but also our own code of conduct.

Their Content Integrity Team gives equal treatment to businesses that use Trustpilot for free and those who subscribe to the services. They do not allow companies to pay, delay or remove unwanted reviews, and use software to ensure all reviews are genuine. So, you can trust that all our reviews are authentic, and our ratings are accurate.
