I signed up to this as it was so cheap and allowed me to buy shares that I couldn't get access to through my ISA. Safety / security didn't bother me that much when I just had a couple of hundred quid in it, but as my account has grown, I'm never really 100% how safe it is.

Could someone reassure me please?! :-)

I've not heard of them but thier website will tell you if they are FCA reg and operating under client money rules. If not then they aren't safe.

Looks legit and checks out with the FCA. Just be aware they are registered in Holland.
