Moneybox investment platform review
Is Moneybox any good?
In our latest customer satisfaction survey, Moneybox received a customer score of 76% for its stocks and shares Isa, putting it joint 4th out of 25 providers.
Moneybox is a mobile app that lets you invest with as little as £1 and offers a range of savings and investment products.
It achieved one of the highest scores in our customer survey and earned four out of five stars for how easy it is to use the platform.
However, it missed out on Which? Recommended Provider status because of its high platform fee of 0.45% plus £1 a month. Moneybox proves expensive for portfolios larger than £50,000, in particular.
Moneybox offers very few investments, so it may suit investors who are overwhelmed by the amount of assets out there, but it might also frustrate users who want more choice.
The minimum investment with Moneybox is £1.

Is your money safe with Moneybox?
Moneybox is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
When you invest with an investment platform that's registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, your money will be ring-fenced and should be returned if a company goes bust - without you having to wait alongside other creditors.
If ring-fencing failed, you would be compensated by the FSCS.
The FSCS will cover up to £85,000 of investments per person, per platform. You can claim for free online at www.fscs.org.uk; there's no reason to use a claims management company.
You won't be compensated for investments falling in value or if a company in which you hold shares goes bust unless this poor performance resulted from bad advice from a regulated independent financial adviser that has since gone bust.
