- 2026-10-19correction · AJ BellAJ Bell changed from "restricted" to "refuses"
We had said AJ Bell's SIPP has no US exclusion. AJ Bell's help centre says "you won't be able to open a SIPP if you're a US or Canadian citizen", and its terms already barred US citizens and US tax residents from its ISAs and Dealing Account. US citizens can't open any AJ Bell account, so the entry is now "refuses". Source
