Sharesies Avis 

Transferring shares out from Sharesies to your own account take a very long time and the communication is slow and always the same like we are very busy and working hard on improvements. Well the next time you want to transfer the same issues remain. In the guidelines they state it take two days. Yeah right.

This is a great simple platform which you can use to take positions in companies in Australia, NZ and the United States.
To those who are reading it from like Reddit WallStreetBets etc,
this is not the place to try and be a day trader
I repeat.
this is not the place to try and be a day trader

It's a place where you want to try and get your cash, put it into a few securities or instruments at super low cost and wait for the market to do its thing.

The 1 star reviews are obviously from users who are not sophisticated enough to comprehend this or expect a live market price and straight thru market processing thing. If you want that kind of service go get an interactive brokers account. It's not what this is for.

I find that sharesies site lacks the ability to to find and trade on many listed companies on Nasdag and NYSE ?? I find this is quite a flaw in using sharesies site. Sharesies consider themselves a fully active trading platform then they need to have every company listed on Nasdaq and NYSE available to trade.

Sharsies is easy to use and you might find it a fun way to invest. However, be aware that while you can easily track your investments. What you will find very difficult is to track your expenses paid to Sharsies. Expenses/fees are not shown in your transactions or investment tracking. So you have to calculate your costs manually. You might be surprised when you do! While your investments seem to be doing well.....it is Sharsies that seem to be soaking up up your gains.

Very poor customer service. I have a technical issue that has resulted in dividends nepotism being paid and have waited over 3 days and still don’t have an answer.

Sharesies has been a great start for me as a new investor.
Easy to use platform with help on hand.
Access to your money if needed unlike many other investment plans.
Very surprised by negative comments below ...I cant fault this platform and have heard nothing but positive comments from people that have used it..hence why I chose Sharesies to look after my hard earnt money.
Highly recommended and honest platform.

Super fun and easy way to start investing, awesome customer experience. Customer care team is really helpful and they output loads of good content for the investing newbie.

For a first time investor Sharesies has made it easier to invest. Also being able to invest as much or as little as you can afford makes it less daunting.

Awesome platform that is easy to navigate

Having used Sharesies for two years now, my experiences have been all positive. The platform works seamlessly and whenever I withdrew funds I received confirmation generally within 20 minutes and funds into my bank account shortly thereafter.

Simple, easy, effective.

Excellent product that makes investing in companies easy and not scary! The UI is very friendly and makes for a great experience. They are also very clear in their warnings as to what the risks are and do a good job of looking out for the people. Highly recommend if you want a simple way to better invest your money.

Great Kiwi company which will no doubt become iconic as time rolls by. Simple to use platform that has given easy access to the share market for hundreds of thousands of kiwis. Passionate, intelligent and driven team of humans who are really just getting started!

Great initiative and so easy to use.

Have had money invested in Sharesies for two years i enjoy looking at it most days to see how it's going.
What i like is you can withdraw some or all of investment at any time.

Very happy with the platform. Particularly like the brand and way their values come through in their communications.

Sharesies is making investing fun for me and my family!

I have found Sharesies have been very responsive when I have written in about issues with logins etc

We set up accounts for our kids and it was so user friendly and straight forward. We loved the easy access to advice and which companies to invest with for our kids. Just awesome!

Sharesies has allowed me to feel more empowered with my own finances. At long last.

Great, easy to use :) awesome for the kids too.

Love Sharesies, their platform is easy to use and it's great that you manage your own shares. Sharesies communication with their customers is second to none. Highly recommend Sharesies and have encouraged many friends to join.
