Telephone Trading
On rare occasions it may be necessary to take orders for certain trades over the telephone. These will usually be charged at standard online rates. However, if the order cannot be traded through our system and we need to call the market to place the trade, please note that you will be charged telephone rates for these trades. These rates can be found in our Rates & Charges.
