People at PrimaryBid always helpful
The process to get access to new issues has been first class. My applications just appear in my share account. The only down side is that the shares I bought have not done well in general. Maybe I should avoid Rights Issues! But I’m not in it for the short term so who knows. Good service from PrimaryBid. Always very helpful
Anew.
A great and easy way to top up or buy new holdings.

The best platform widening participation opportunities
The best platform, providing opportunities to invest and take advantage of opportunity that otherwise would not be accessible to them - win win for general public.
GREAT DEAL....
Have purchased several companies shares via PB. Easy to do, usually discounted price, automatically transferred into my dealing account - and with no stockbroking commission! Great deal.
Simple and Easy
A very good App with a simple easy to follow process. Giving notification and access to investment opportunities that I probably otherwise would have missed out on.
Keep up the good work
Primary Bid have always been very professional in my experience, no issues at all.
The App is clear, comprehensive and easy to use.
Excellent customer services

Simple low cost access to markets
Primary Bid is a simple cost effective way for retail investors to access IPO’s and fund raises that would in most cases be reserved for institutional investors. For that alone they should receive credit. You do not need fancy, potentially costly, extra insight. What you get is a straightforward app that allows you to buy a wide range of companies that come to the market to raise cash. I’m certainly one of the investors who has been happy to benefit.
Highly recommended
Excellent opportunity for small investors to participate in retail offers at the discounted prices usually only available to institutions

The website/app needs improvement to become more faster and get to the offers more easily.
PC Version & email notification desirable
It worked fine but picking up the notification is a bit hit & miss for me because I only occasionally look at my phone. An email notification would help; a PC version would be even better. Time is of the essence if an investment is not to be diluted - it fails on this score for me.
Good overall, but.....
Good overall. Plenty of variety and a good platform, but 2 criticisms:-
1. It's either feast or famine. Lots of offers in a short time, then none for many weeks or months.
2. Often, very little notice is given. Literally a couple of hours sometimes from notification to when the offer closes, giving next to no time to organise funds to pay for them.

Does what it says on the tin!
I am very happy with my PrimaryBid experience to date. My only concern is that I find it very frustrating when you see companies I previously purchased via PrimaryBid then raising further monies that are not available this time - appreciate this is obviously outside PrimaryBid's control!!
Access while travelling
It is very frustrating being unable to access the offers while using an ISP abroad. Surely you can get this organised.
