IG

Broker Overview

IG is a brokerage brand associated with IG Group Holdings plc. The research record describes its ownership as: Public company (London Stock Exchange). The brand’s operating history is recorded as 1974, while the headquarters or principal operating location captured in this review is London, UK. Its official domain is https://www.ig.com/. The broker serves different markets through separate companies, so users should not assume that one group entity, product list or protection framework applies worldwide. The target-market summary in the reviewed record is: Global retail and professional trading; local products vary, including CFDs, spread betting where lawful, listed products and share dealing.

Regulation and Legal Structure

The representative legal-entity record states: Representative retail entities include IG Markets Limited and IG Index Limited in the UK, plus regional group entities. The client-coverage note states: Multi-jurisdiction group. UK client entity and permissions must be checked separately from Australia, Europe, Singapore, South Africa, US and other entities. These statements should be read at entity level. A licence belonging to one company does not automatically cover another affiliate, and a registration, service company, payment processor or introducing entity should not be described as the product issuer unless the legal documents confirm that role. The database confidence for this profile is High, and the provisional evidence score is 90/100. This score assesses the quality of the public evidence reviewed; it is not a safety guarantee or personal recommendation.

Accounts and Trading Conditions

The trading record states: Proprietary web/mobile platforms, MT4 in selected regions, APIs and professional services; broad FX, index, commodity, share and other market coverage. The pricing record states: UK EUR/USD minimum spread advertised from 0.6 pips. Account funding minimums and commission schedules vary by payment method, product and entity. Published spreads, commissions and minimums are treated as advertised information rather than independently observed execution costs. Before publication, the relevant account type, legal entity, currency, measurement date, commission basis and financing terms should be shown together. Maximum leverage is jurisdiction- and client-classification dependent and was not treated as one global brand-level figure in this profile.

Platforms and Apps

Based on the reviewed materials, the main platform and access information is: Proprietary web/mobile platforms, MT4 in selected regions, APIs and professional services; broad FX, index, commodity, share and other market coverage. Platform availability can differ by region. An MT4 or MT5 logo on a group page does not prove that every entity or account supports that platform. Likewise, official App Store and Google Play listings should be linked only after the developer identity and regional availability have been verified. This profile includes the required screenshot filenames, but no image asset is represented as cleared for republication unless a source or permission is stated.

Markets and Instruments

The broad product snapshot is: Forex, Stocks/Shares, Commodities. Exact instrument counts should not be quoted unless they are current, entity-specific and verified on an official product page. Where a broker offers both real securities and derivatives, those categories should be distinguished. The same asset name can represent a share, future, option, rolling forex contract or CFD with materially different ownership and risk.

Deposits and Withdrawals

The service-information record states: Strong education, research, economic calendar and multi-channel support; exact global language and processing claims: Not Verified. A complete payment review should verify the payment beneficiary, supported methods, currencies, processing windows, withdrawal rules and any third-party or conversion charges. Those details were not uniformly captured across all entities in the current database, so the profile uses “Not publicly available” rather than filling gaps from comparison websites. A small withdrawal test can provide operational evidence, but it does not replace regulator and entity verification.

Customer Support

The available support summary is: Strong education, research, economic calendar and multi-channel support; exact global language and processing claims: Not Verified. Support hours, languages, telephone numbers and email addresses should be checked on the entity-specific contact page immediately before publication. Users should contact firms through independently verified official details, particularly when an unsolicited representative provides a different domain, messaging number or payment instruction.

Important Considerations

The execution and risk note states: Retail leverage and negative-balance protection follow local rules. Guaranteed stops are offered on selected products/regions for a premium. The regulatory-history note states: No current serious restriction identified in the reviewed primary disclosures. The recorded conflict or qualification is: Product catalogue differs sharply by jurisdiction; UK spread betting is not a global product. The unresolved research item is: Re-open each regulator record and current order-execution policy for country-specific reviews. The principal source set used in this review included IG forex costs, IG regulatory information. All information was last checked on 10 July 2026. Users and editors should repeat the official-register and legal-document checks before opening an account, depositing funds or presenting the broker in a jurisdiction-specific ranking.
