Definitely recommend this platform – I find it very easy to use and accessible. They provide a great investment service and when I’ve needed them, the customer service has been great too.
Vin Chinnaraja @ 05/13/2019 12:45
At last we do not have to rely on paltry interest on savings for income. It is also liberating that we can invest in corporate bonds for income without having to commit a significant amount of money.
Platform is easy to use and I have already been recommending friends and family onto the platform.

In todayÔÇÖs overcrowded and complicated fintech market WiseAlpha cuts through the noise and complexity to offer an easy as you like investing platform. IÔÇÖd recommend for all consumers.
Tiago @ 04/30/2019 07:17
Business model wise I consider it to be very good. It allows to have access to corporate bonds that would not be possible for the typical investor. The possibility to automatically diversify is also very welcoming.
I would like to see a new mobile app in the future.
Sam Ponniah @ 04/29/2019 03:13
Absolutely fantastic company, recommend highly!
James @ 04/29/2019 03:38
What a great idea! Loved it and will recommend to friends
Stephen @ 04/29/2019 02:28
WiseAlpha allows small retail investors to easily invest in quality corporate bonds, which I believe offers better rates and relative credit risk than other debt investment platforms (e.g. P2P lending). Customer service has been great when I’ve spoken to them, it’s ISA-ready, and user experience is very good. Highly recommended.
Kate McGeever @ 04/29/2019 12:34
Highly recommend, a simplistic and user-friendly platform which has allowed me to grow my investment portfolio. Everything is clearly outlined and it is reassuring to know support is at the end of the phone, without the ridiculous wait-times that other, lesser customer focused companies seem to put their clients through!
JP Grace @ 04/29/2019 11:29
The platform has allowed me to build a diverse portfolio of corporate bonds, without having to opt for the low return, high fee unit trusts available in the market. Easy to use website and quick and helpful responses on the occasions I have had questions about the product.

earning interest on blue chips without a stockbroker – I’m happy!
