Orbis Investments Reviews 4

Cheap, particularly for Junior ISAs.
Customer service responsive.
Their identification requirements for verifying customers are too restrictive (which is where the score gets knocked down) - they apply a very narrow list for acceptable identification compared to the majority of other financial services providers (not everyone has a passport or driving licence!) and the list of acceptable certifiers is similarly very narrow and far too conservative. The only possible explanation I can think of would be if they might have fallen foul of the regulator at some point over identification of customers. If you have a passport, they remain a good choice.

Just reviewed another ISA provider poorly and realised that I've not taken the time to review Orbis who I've saved with for a couple of years now. I was initially attracted by a new customer offer which matched £100 deposit with an additional £100 from Orbis. Great deal and had no trouble getting the cash, it appeared in my account soon after I opened it. Any fees Orbis get are performance based, so they don't charge you for losing money like some others. I have my monthly savings deposit split between their Global Equity and Global balanced funds and am more than happy with their performance so far. I've made a return of 15.3% on the equity fund and 10.3% on the balanced fund. I would recommend Orbis as a decent ISA provider with proven results. They don't advertise heavily or have an app but they will look after your investment.
