While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

High risk and poor returns(significant losses)

I've been using this platform for over 2 years now, and, on average the investments have halved in value. Whilst the platform is slick and easy to use, the investments are poor, overinflated, and you're better off putting your money somewhere else.

AVOID

AVOID. All these fundings are over valued and all the shares tank. Mugs game. Ask yourself why these companies are funding from Mickey mouse. You will lose money

Great but beware of problems

The concept behind PrimaryBid is excellent and generally their systems are first class in enabling small shareholders access to IPOs and fund raising issues where the small shareholder has historically been ignored and excluded from taking part. However when I subscribed for a share issue by Applied Graphene Holdings and didn't correct my account details with my stockbroker the whole matter has vanished into a black hole and I'm still waiting for the shares to be transferred to my stockbroker!

Hi David,

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback. It is great to hear that you support our business model and have been willing to share your experience with the wider community.

I am sorry to hear about your issue with an offer. I would like to assure you that your shares have not disappeared; if you made a successful subscription and were allocated shares in the offer then you will have the shares in your name with your broker. I will arrange for our customer support team to contact you so they can advise you where your shares have settled. They will also be happy to help with any other questions you might have.

Thanks again for sharing this review!

Good unless outside of the UK

Overall my experience with Primary Bid has been excellent. My only complaint is that if I am not in the UK I cannot use it, as it seems to prohibit access from a non UK IP address, despite the fact that I am a UK citizen & a UK resident taxpayer.

Well Worth Adding To Your Investment Arsenal

The initial setup process was a bit confusing, especially providing your broker's information. After that, it's been pretty much seamless and I am happy with my purchases to date and for the opportunity to be able to invest early, at the same time as the "City big boys"
