SVS V Halifax Trading

[SeagullEd]

Sorry for off-topic. Basically, about to start trading shares with £1000 and I have been toying between using SVS Securities or Halifax share dealing for the last hour and a half! Which should I use?

Halifax Share Dealing
£11.95 per trade but can trade foreign listed shares too

OR

Buy Shares | Stock Market Trading | Advisory Stockbroking | Trade CFDs | FX Trading | Online Execution | Emissions Trading | Corporate Finance | Corporate Brokers


£1 per trade then £5.95 but onyl UK

Basically, my only worry is that obviously Halifax is a known name so maybe more reliable!?

I have asked about this before but then I had loads of uni work and couldn't start unfortunately, and still hadnt come to a decision.

I use Share.com, decent for infrequent trading.

 

[ees complicated no?]

SVS Securities may be more know in this field, I wouldnt really trust a bank

Looking to trade maybe a couple of times a month probably, but more frequently at the moment whilst not at uni.

Halifax Share dealing have deals every now and again which helps reduce trading fees. Im more than happy with my account. Selftrade is another option - I worked there about 8 years ago but they have been taken over by SocGen since then so no idea what they are like now.

Obviously, the lower fee on SVS is interesting me but I haven't spoken to anyone who uses it :S .
