Just like a bank, we are a financial services firm required to comply with anti-money laundering laws. In line with these regulations, we conduct security checks to verify both the source and destination of funds are in your name.
When we receive a bank transfer or card payment from you, we often don’t receive the bank account details from which the deposit came.
Because of this, we sometimes require further verification to link your payment to a bank account in your name and securely return your funds.
How do I verify my payment to IG?
Please upload a scan, screenshot or photo of your online bank statement showing:
- The transaction to IG
- Your full name
- The bank account number
- The bank’s logo or emblem
If you can’t get all the information on one page, you can upload two documents: the first showing the payment to us and your bank account number, and the second showing the same account number and your name.
How do I verify my receiving bank account?
If you have recently added a new bank account, we may request verification to ensure we’re sending your funds back to a bank account held in your name.
