    I have used IBKR all the time. I am based in England and am considering UK broker Hargreaves Lansdown for my child's account. I am intentionally not choosing IBKR, but want to access FX conversion and international single stocks.

    Anyone has any experience with Hargreaves Lansdown?

    If I fund the account in GBP, how can I convert to EUR or CHF to buy European and Swiss stocks? I don't think it has a FX direct access conversion capability like IBKR? Or I should convert first in IBKR and fund the Hargreaves account in EUR?
