EQi and the transfer to interactive investor

More information, FAQs and key documents for customers who have moved to ii

EQi and interactive investor

We announced in March that Equiniti had agreed to transfer some of its EQi business to the investment platform interactive investor (ii).

That transfer took place over the weekend of 26 and 27 June. If we wrote to say that your account was transferring to ii, your new service started on 28 June. You should now log in to ii to manage your investments. Your service with EQi is closed.

The key documents below may be helpful but if they do not answer a question you may have about your new service, please contact ii.

The easiest way to contact ii is by sending a secure message. To do this, log in to your new ii account and go to ‘account > secure messages’. You may also find it helpful to visit ii’s new customer hub at ii.co.uk/help/new-customers.

Should you have difficulty logging in to your new account, please call the ii team on 0345 607 6200.
