Transfer your shares to IG from any broker

IG charges $0 for broker-to-broker share transfers to us. However, your current broker may charge exit or stock transfer fees (check with them directly). Registry transfers are usually free when moving shares from issuer-sponsored holdings to IG.

Share transfer timeframes when moving to IG vary by broker type:

• Australian broker-to-broker transfers: Usually up to 2 weeks once transfer documents are received

• International broker transfers to IG: Usually up to 6 weeks for US, UK and other international shares

• Registry to broker transfers: Usually 4-6 weeks for issuer-sponsored holdings 

Tip: Submit your TFN (Australian shares) or tax forms (US shares) early to avoid stock transfer delays.

No, you don't need to sell your shares when transferring between brokers. Our broker-to-broker transfer service moves your existing stock holdings directly to IG without selling them. 

During the share transfer period to IG:

• You may be unable to trade the stocks being moved between brokers

• IG cannot be held responsible for price changes or delays caused by your current broker

• Your transferred shares will appear under 'open positions' in your IG dashboard once the broker-to-broker transfer completes 

• We'll update you via email throughout the stock transfer process

Yes, you can complete broker-to-broker share transfers to IG from any Australian broker including CommSec, Westpac, ANZ, NAB, Bell Direct, CMC Markets and others. You can also transfer stocks from international brokers and company registries to IG.
