N&P to offer commission-free share purchase days

Norwich & Peterborough Building Society (N&P) is offering all private investors the chance to buy shares commission-free on Thursday 22 November and Thursday 20 December 2012.

N&P will be waiving its usual commission charges on all purchases of UK investments on 22 November and 20 December 2012.

The offer is open to new and existing customers and covers all types of dealing, including online and telephone trades as well as certificate purchases.

Danny McIntyre, N&P Share Dealing Product Manager, said: "N&P's special commission-free days provide the perfect opportunity for private investors to add to their portfolio without paying a penny in commission costs.

"Moreover, this offer applies both to new and existing customers and covers all our account types, including trades in paper share certificates, which remain very popular.

"Unlike similar offers, which are restricted to new customers or only available through online channels, this offer from N&P is available whether you prefer to trade online or by telephone. So whether you are an experienced investor or dipping your toe into the market for the first time, this offer will save you pounds in commission costs.

"Existing customers who place a trade on any UK listed investment on 22 November and/or 20 December will automatically have their commission refunded."

Anyone who does not have an N&P Share Dealing account can open one in minutes by applying online at nandp.co.uk/share-dealing.
