Fidelity - "I think the $7.95 stock or etf trade is a little high. I would like to get trades for $5.95. The in-house selection of successful mutual funds is really a bargain at no cost to invest. Also Fidelity provides alot of research and helpful data at no charge to their account holders. I would probably keep at least one account with Fidelity just to keep the research access."

Fidelity - "I have been with Fidelity for over 20 Years. Sometimes some human makes a mistake but they bend over backwards to make it right. The only beef that I have is that they refer me to an office they have in Princeton, NJ but I can't find it because there is poor signage on the road."
Aaron Rosloff - New Jersey, USA (May-2012) - Reply or add your Fidelity review
Fidelity - "Based on my portfolio and their management of it i have to say Fidelity has the worst advisors and managers in the industry. The return, compared to other financial companies, has been 4% to 7% worst than others. Good bye Fidelity. PS. If you see Strategic run in the opposite direction."
Jack - Michigan, USA (Mar-2012) - Reply or add your Fidelity review
Fidelity - "Terrible customer service! They tried to charge me $50 to transfer $3.59 left in a fund I had asked to be consolidated with a paid advisory IRA fund. They refused to waive the fee and kept me on hold for 70 minutes while they tried to find someone in their financial kingdom with the authority to resolve this problem. If they can't take care of this little issue why would I be paying them to choose financial investments for me? Stay away from this company. If this is how they treat their paying customers especially in this economy then their ethics are totally screwed up."
Robin Burkin - Connecticut, USA (Aug-2011) - Reply or add your Fidelity review
Fidelity - "Overall service: Pretty good. Accuracy in filling orders:Very Good. Statements: Wish they were in alpha order with by Name or by Symbol"

Fidelity - "This place doesn't care about their customers. I'm trying to roll my account out of there and their hanging on to it as long as they possibly can. Costing me hard earned money."

Fidelity - "Ameritrade was my broker for 11 years until ethics became a loggerhead. Starting up with Fidelity was cumbersome do to inability of staff to handle complex matters correctly the first time. An ethical question arose that required Fidelity to not take action based on a sizeable of investment. They ruled against me which was the correct ethical decision. It took 3 months to iron out the details due to the continued diligence of a supervisor. Complex transactions are beyond the scope of the modular/access staff. I have had superior results when employing upper echelon staff! When I need help I try the regular modular staff with uneven results. The trading platform (active trader)trades well and has many features I like. It's being modular also seems to only do trades in real time, whereas balance and position updating is very slow. Ethics and "Prompt Trades" give Fidelity a "Superior Rating" over the multiple brokers used in the past. The suggestion was made to raise rates a buck or two per trade and invest in more computing power to approach real-time updating in account data recording/presentation."

Fidelity - "Pain to get them to do anything. More concerned about their margins than customer service. Cash funds actually cost you due to low interest and their mgt fees."

Fidelity - "I like this brokers website although I feel that doing research on individual stocks is quite cumbersome when compared to Yahoo or MSN."

Fidelity - "Moving to Fidelity was the smartest thing I have ever done. Previously, I was with UBS, what a horror story. While UBS is a fine firm, their commissions and fees are totally outrageous!"
Estorge - Louisiana, USA (Oct-2006) - Reply or add your Fidelity review
Fidelity - "I had a bad experience with Fidelity about four years ago, when they upped their trading fees. Called them to complain, said I was a loyal customer with significant income potential, and asked if they could waive fee increase for me. No can do. So I basically said 'You've upped your fees? Well, truly, up yours'. Switched to TD Waterhouse, Fidelity lost a lot of income by upsetting me. TD Waterhouse now bought out and I see subtle signs of deteriorating value. Thinking of going back to Fidelity, but I hold grudges and have a long memory."

Fidelity - "You couldn't be more wrong, Scottrade does not route 100% of it's orders through nite but they do have an agreement with them as do most firms. It's clear to me that you have never worked for a firm or you would have never posted something so stupid. Second, unless you dealing with a large firm that has inventory your stock may not be available to short."
Frank - Pennsylvania, USA (Jan-2006) - Reply or add your Fidelity review

Buff Smith - USA (Dec-2005) - Reply or add your Fidelity review
Fidelity - "I see a lot of people offering to buy or sell stocks at from $3 to $7 and somewhere in between. When you begin to inquire you discover they want a minimum amount to open an account. Fidelity is established....I don't know these other turkeys. Even if my online trades are $19.95, am I not safer with an established firm.....isn't it possible that a group wanting $5000 to start to sell for $3 could go bellyup? It is true...'Everybody has their hand out...palm up.'"

Fidelity - "I have been with many - Edward Jones; Morgan Stanley; TD Waterhouse. I moved to Fidelity after some major bad experiences with the others. Fidelity is superior in price, customer service, internet capability, and ethical behavior."

Fidelity - "Scottrade's web service is very bad but @ $7.00 per trade what do you expect. Fidelity is very good but if you trade a lot the fees can eat up your bankroll."

Fidelity - "I have used Fidelity for over a year with complete satisfaction. I recommended them to my brother and father. Fidelity allowed us to 'bundle' our accounts to pay the lowest possible fee schedule. They are great."
Gail - California, USA (Nov-2004) - Reply or add your Fidelity review
Fidelity - "Their site is the best that I have worked with so far. I've used Datek, Ameritrade, E-trade and a full service broker. So I'll soon have all my accounts under watchful eye at Fidelity. Cost of trading at $8."
