There will also be a PTM (panel for takeovers and mergers) levy of £1 for single trades in excess of £10,000. This applies to both purchases and sales.
Buying Shares
If you are buying shares you will be required to pay for your transaction at the time of the deal by debit card and you should ensure that you have sufficient cleared funds available in your debit card account to pay for the shares in full. Stocktrade can accept Switch, Visa Delta, Connect and Solo.
Callers from overseas who cannot make payments for purchases via debit card at the time of dealing will be required to arrange for cleared funds to be in the hands of Stocktrade prior to dealing. To arrange this you should contact the number below in the telephone share dealing section and ask for advice on how to make payment.
Selling Shares
If you are selling shares cleared funds, net of all costs, can be credited directly into your bank account, normally 10 days after the date of sale (please have your bank account details i.e Sort Code and Account Number available when you call). An extra charge of £3 will be made if you require a cheque payment.
For payments outside the UK an additional £20 swift fee is charged, which will be to the account of the seller. Please note that the currencies in which Stocktrade will make payments are restricted to US Dollars, Euros and Sterling. The receiving bank may also make charges for receiving payments from overseas.
