Ways of paying for your shares

  • Send a cheque in the post. Your broker may not be willing to buy for you until the cheque is cleared.
  • Visit a high street broker and pay there and then, for example by credit card.
  • Pay by debit card over the telephone.
  • Open a deposit account with the broker or bank. Your broker is able to draw money from the account on your behalf at any time to settle deals.
