Why UK Broker Insight Exists
We built this site because comparing UK trading platforms shouldn't require reading twelve different marketing pages just to find a straight answer.
Our Mission
UK Broker Insight was created to give everyday investors a clearer, more honest starting point when choosing a UK trading platform. The market is crowded, marketing pages rarely tell the full story, and most comparison sites either recycle the same recycled copy or bury the details that actually matter. We set out to do better: consistent scoring, plain-English explanations, and a clear separation between our editorial rankings and any commercial relationships we hold.
How We Research Platforms
Every provider featured on this site goes through the same process: we confirm regulatory status against the relevant public register, open a real account or demo environment to test onboarding and day-to-day usability, and review the full published fee schedule rather than relying on headline marketing rates. We also track how a provider's offering evolves over time and update scores accordingly — our rankings are living documents, not one-off snapshots.
How This Site Is Funded
UK Broker Insightis free to use and funded, in part, by commercial partnerships with some of the providers featured on the site. If you open an account through certain links, we may receive compensation from that provider. This helps us keep the site free and continue investing in research — but it never determines a platform's score or position in our rankings. Our methodology is applied consistently regardless of any commercial relationship, and we clearly disclose this arrangement throughout the site.
What We Are Not
We are not a broker, we do not execute trades, and we do not hold or manage client funds. We are not regulated financial advisers, and nothing published on this site should be read as personalised financial advice. Our content is intended to help you research providers and investing concepts for yourself — always do your own due diligence, and consider speaking with a qualified financial adviser before making significant investment decisions.
