How Telephone Trading Works

---

Telephone Trading Hours

UK market orders can be processed during the Stock Market mandatory quote period of 08.00 to 16.30 Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays. We can also take orders outside of these hours: Monday to Friday 07.30 to 08.00 and 16.30 to 21.00; and Saturday 09.00 - 15.00.

The International Telephone Dealing Service is open from 07.30 to 21.00 Monday to Friday.

How to settle up

When you place a trade the standard time you have to make your payment, in either cash for purchases or stock for sales, is three working days. Find out more about how to make a cash payment.

Longer payment options - Extended Settlement

You can settle up to twenty five working days later when trading by telephone with TD Direct Investing. One advantage of this is when buying, you can sell those shares before payment is due so only have to pay the difference in price or receive the balance owing to you.
