Bug in Whole Share Purchasing

🤝 Help
1

Hello

When buying full shares, if you’re really getting close to the line on how many you can buy, it just changes to “all” and will force you to buy a fractional, instead of getting whole shares, like you wanted.

Personally, I only want full shares. Makes dividend calculations easier, makes for the prospect of share-for-share transfer possible in the future (if ever implemented, I guess) too.

Not sure if this is specific to T212 ISA, but that’s what I’m using.

I also asked this question, disappointing answer from T212 but it is what it is!

Could you not just sell the fractional shares leaving you with a whole shares?

No, you end up having to sell 1.XX shares and then pay stamp duty on the single share again. Really isn’t good enough
