  • What’s the status of my transfer?

    It's easy to check on the progress of your transfer from another provider to AJ Bell. Just log in to your account and in the ‘My account’ menu, click ‘Transfers’.

    If you can’t see your transfer being tracked, we may not have received your transfer form. Please allow a few days for us to receive and process the form, but you can always email transfersin@ajbell.co.uk for an update.

    If you're transferring a pension which has investments, you won’t be able to track your transfer online. To give you a rough idea, transfers should take two-six weeks to complete. When a transfer does complete, we’ll let you know by email.

  • What do I do if I am having problems logging in to my account?

    If you’ve forgotten any of your log in details, choose 'I've forgotten my username' or 'I've forgotten my password', as appropriate, on the log in screen and follow the instructions.

    If you haven’t received your one-time code, you can request another by choosing 'Send me another code'. Or click 'Send my code another way'.

    For any other log in issues, just call our customer services team on 0345 54 32 600 (lines are open 8am until 7pm Monday to Friday, and 10am until 2pm Saturday).

  • What can I do if I’ve forgotten my password?

    If you can't remember your AJ Bell password, don't worry. Just go to log in, click "I've forgotten my password" and follow the steps on the screen. Watch how to reset it here.

  • How do I transfer to AJ Bell?

    Transferring to AJ Bell is easy. First you’ll need to open the account (e.g. SIPP or ISA) you want to transfer to us, if you haven’t opened it already. It takes less than ten minutes to open an account, and you can do it online. During the application, you'll be asked to enter the details of the account(s) you want to transfer.

    If you already have an account you want to transfer into, you can start the transfer process by logging in and from the ‘My account’ menu, choosing ‘Transfers’ and entering the details of the account(s) you want to transfer.

    Once we’ve received all the details, we’ll handle the rest of the admin from there, letting you know if there are any hiccups. You can check back on the ‘Transfers’ page in your account to see the progress of your transfer.

  • What do I do if there is no online quote when I try to place a deal?

    For the vast majority of deals you try to place, you should get an online quote. But if your order is for a relatively high value in a mid- or small- cap company, you may not get a quote. Or you may get a quote outside the current market buy or sell price (this is known as depth pricing).

    If this happens to you, you can call our customer services team on 0345 54 32 600. We’ll carry out your deal over the phone, or help you to place it online.

  • What can I invest in with you?

    Across all of our accounts, you can build your portfolio from a wide range of investments. This includes the majority of UK shares, 24 international share markets, over 2,000 funds in our funds universe, as well as investment trusts, bonds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
