TD Waterhouse

smallcapmac · 13-09-2009 03:09PM #1

Hey, I see thta TD waterhouse have a new trading account offer for Ireland, €20 trades (cheaper for frequent traders) and no account maintance charge fon active accounts. access to international equities, bonds etc.. Seems a pretty good deal based on what the other IE brokers but still a little expensive compared to UK packages (TD waterhouses UK offer!).
has anyone used td waterhouse in the past and if so how was your experience? anyone tempted to move from the big irish brokers?

lucky-colm · 13-09-2009 06:50PM

yeah i seen that smalls there was another thread on her a few days ago entitled ireland finally gets a cheap broker.

anyhow i filled out their online application form today and downloaded their verification of identity form.

does anyone know under the section entitled verifying firm would the garda siochana do to fill and stamp this section (i presume it would)
all other brokers accept garda verification

I am a member of ETRADE but I will be joining tdwaterhouse soon as it has so many platforms. Etrade has only recently intorduced stop loss, and limits last week and only for the FTSE 350.
Seems like a good strong Canadian bank. Looking forward to joining them.
Anybody any experience?
Davies and the like in Ireland are such a rip off.
No anual fee either. Davies is €80

lucky-colm · 15-10-2009 07:15PM

yeah i joined td's only got my account number in the post this week as there is a postal strike on in the uk at the moment.

still i will be making a deposit next week and getting away from my normal broker(robbing cnuts):D

cagy1 · 18-10-2009 09:49PM

I phoned them and it must be a financial type company i.e. your bank manager, financial adviser, solictor,

I am still waiting on my accountlogin

Has any one uses TDWaterhouse
what the service like?

AdeleS · 21-10-2009 12:21PM

I'd be interested to know what the service is like too... any feedback?

Mr_Roger_Bongos · 28-10-2009 01:24AM

Just an update on this, has anyone got any feedback from using tdwaterhouse.ie?

clarkebr · 29-10-2009 12:47PM

I used to work and trade with them in Australia (before CommSec bought them out). They are a great firm and their trade execution is spot on with excellent real time information. The same guy who headed up the Australian office is now running the UK offices and now the Ireland online services. They wont have an office in Ireland anytime soon (as per CEO) and you cannot call their customer serivce line using an Irish mobile (not very accessible).
Having said all that, I've not used them in Ireland as yet but plan to open an account soon.

Thanks for the opdate did it take long to open the account after you sent in the verification info?

Has any one else use used them ?

lucky-colm · 29-10-2009 10:04PM

it took about 2 weeks but that was because there was a postal strike in england normally it would only take a few days least thats what they told me when i rang enquiring about the hold up

gaafan1 · 30-10-2009 02:24AM

how can you be sure that tdwaterhouse is a good responsible company, if only recently set up?with all the talk of dodgy nesss, can people be sure yhat this is the real deal?

You can see them as quinn when he entered into the insurance business. It should provoke the other brokers to bring down their own mad prices.

So they deserve a chance and they are a reputable company so it's not exactly a risk,

DUBISAK · 03-11-2009 02:49PM

Hi All, seems like I am in the same boat as alot of others looking at setting up an account with TD waterhouse, but looking for some feedback from people who have traded with them.

I email them last week, and got a reply within the time frame the automated message advised, but only read the mail today.

the mail i received was teh perfect email you could get to a repsonse. they answered all my questions without any long winded staements or sales drivel.

They seem to be the real deal - but i would still like to get some feedback from people who gave used them before transfer shares and setup an account etc.

foxirl · 04-11-2009 01:28PM

Sent in my application over 2 weeks ago now and they say that they still have not received it. They are saying it may be due to the postal strike.

I have since bought some shares through Sharewatch though their Small Trader. 50 Euro fee.
Does anyone know if they send you out a certifcate or do you just ring them again when you want to sell the shares.

They will send out the cert but I would advise you them and ask them to hold the cert.

If you don't then before you sell the stock you must post back the cert which could take a few days and could be costly in a volatile market

Thanks but I bought the shares on Friday last (BOI at 2.01 so not being a good week for me) so I'd say its already on the way. Will transfer it to TDWaterhouse once my account is set up so I can sell on the spot if they get to a price where I make a profit.

Would love to have bought some more at 1.40 yesterday but as i didnt have TDWaterhouse i didnt get a chance ; -(

does anyone know, when she sets up her account with td waterhouse can she then send her share certificate to td's and then she would be able to sell her shares online with them whenever she wants?

I applied on line to open an account and then sent in the postbthe verification info. about 2 week later i heard nothing and phoned them and they have not received anything, so now I have to re send the verification info, via registered post to the UK.

how are you finding the service so far

pog it · 16-11-2009 05:48PM

Anyone get up and running with TD Waterhouse since and able to compare with the other brokers here?

i have been using them for the last few weeks and there is no comparison to sharewatch who i had been using; the platform is fantastic and the amount of information is mind boggeling compared to what i was getting , so far so good

shamblertine · 16-11-2009 10:12PM

I tried signing up but they returned the form to me, apparently it was filled out wrong. But its a nightmare to understand, I tried getting a customer service rep in a bank to sign it but they didn't have a clue about which parts to fill in and neither did I. They also didn't know what their financial regulator number was. I don't have an accountant so can't bring it to them, nor a financial advisor or lawyer or anything like that, so if I did need to get one of them to sign it chances are I'm going to have to pay them about 80 euro.

foxirl · 16-11-2009 10:56PM

Shamblertine.
The bank should have no problem filling it in. They don't need their regulator number.
You fill in section 1 with your details.
The Bank fills in section 2 & 3 and stamps the form. They should also stamp a copy of a household bill(e.g. ESB) and a copy of your passport. Thats all there is to it. Send it off then and you should be set up once they receive it.

Definitel would not be paying 80 euro to get it done.

cagy1 · 20-11-2009 10:25PM

I am in the process of opening an account as per my previous tread.

All the document for the verification must be stamped and signed by the verifying agency. My first set of form were sent with only the form stamped so had to resend. In talking to a TD W rep he said that the gardai stamping the forms will be acceptable. I used my morgage and insurance advisor to stamp and sign.
today TD W confirmed that they have accepted this and that an info pack etc will arrive in the post in the next few days,

sending TD W share certs -- send these by registered post. these are like cash.

Bytheway · 25-11-2009 12:06AM

Sending in my proof of ID for the 3rd time now. Love to tell them where to go but I do want an account with them.

took me 3 goes to get the proof info correct, account open i now must tx funds / existing portfolio that I expect will take a few week to get set up, the info is great,

Bytheway · 31-12-2009 02:32PM

Are the TD quotes in real time?
When I set up a watch list, it asks me for number of shares and quantity etc, thats a but annoying as I just want to add a list of shares and view them in real time.
Has anybody any experience of this on TD?
