Halifax celebrate Independence Day with share dealing offer

As the United States marks Independence Day, Halifax Share Dealing is joining in the celebrations with a special deal for customers trading in international stocks and shares online.

Customers will be able to trade shares at a lower commission rate as Halifax Share Dealing reduces its international fee to just £4 - a discount of nearly two thirds on the usual rate of £11.95.

The fee reduction will apply for just one trading day on the day after Independence Day - the 5th July (as the 4th is a holiday in the US) - from 8am until 9pm GMT.  Find out more about the offer at halifax.co.uk/events

Halifax Share Dealing's international trading service allows customers to trade on seven of the world's largest stock markets. The top three stocks traded as part of a previous international trading offer were Apple, Microsoft and Bank of America Corporation.

Damian Stansfield, Managing Director at Halifax Share Dealing, says: "Our reduced commission deal is a great opportunity for customers who are looking to explore the potential of international markets and widen their portfolios with US or other global stocks. The offer is just one in a series of initiatives as part of our commitment to giving customers the best share dealing services in the market at the best price."
