MixedSummary of a Reddit comment
Just opened an HSA at Fidelity and was stunned by how poor the website is compared with Schwab's, though customer service was great when they called about the HSA transfer.
Brokerage
Highly rated service with everything in one place; a sizable minority report held transfers.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

Moved over from Ameriprise intending to self-manage and found the free advisor calls steered toward paid management and skipped their agenda, though the transfer help was good.

Likes Fidelity, especially its customer service, but says Robinhood has a better app and offers extras such as rollover matches, IRA match and a 3% flat credit card that make it hard to leave.

Chose Fidelity for better customer service and finds individual reps excellent, but daily position CSV downloads are never a clean import and policies feel hostile to anyone not a long-term investor.

Likes Fidelity overall but finds the mobile app poor and uses the desktop site; once wrongly locked out over day trades and the active trader line fixed it in five minutes.

Says Fidelity's app is weak but offset by unmatched customer service and great investment resources.

After an unauthorized ACATS transfer emptied the brokerage account with no notification, the stocks were recovered after two months of following up, with Fidelity reps eventually helping.

The first Fidelity rep was extremely helpful with the transfer but then tried to sign them up for wealth management, and they warn that Fidelity Go fees rise after the free tier and steer people to pricier products.

Uses Fidelity only for customer service and finds the UX absolutely garbage.
Most customers rate the customer service highly and like having investing, cash and retirement accounts in one place, with the cash sweep earning interest. Many prefer it to Vanguard and Schwab. A sizable minority report transfers or deposits held for weeks, account locks, and a glitchy app.
Of the 807 reviews with a clear verdict, 62% are positive, 14% mixed and 23% negative. The praise mentioned most is helpful support. The most common complaint is poor support.
The praise reviewers mention most: helpful support (122 reviews), easy to use (24 reviews) and reliable (15 reviews). For example: Called about an account issue and reached someone easy to talk to who resolved it in minutes with little wait.
The complaints reviewers mention most: poor support (82 reviews), buggy app (18 reviews) and account frozen (1 review). For example: Fraud department stonewalls and strings customers along; only going to a physical branch got things moving.
It's how well reviewed Fidelity Brokerage Account is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
