Crypto Transfer Fees
Crypto transfers are executed on the blockchain and are irreversible once confirmed. IG cannot cancel, reverse, or recover a transfer where incorrect details have been provided. You are responsible for ensuring all transfer details are accurate, including the wallet address, network, token, and any required destination tag or memo. Sending assets using incorrect details will result in permanent loss of funds. Transfers are typically completed within 10–50 minutes but may take longer depending on blockchain network conditions. Delays due to network congestion are outside of IG’s control. Before initiating a transfer, ensure you understand how crypto transfers work, including the risks associated with on-chain transactions. |
Key concepts
| Term | What it means |
Network fee | A fee charged by the blockchain network to process a transaction. Also called a gas fee on some networks. These fees are set by the network, not by IG. |
Gas fee | The term used for network fees on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks. Fees vary depending on network congestion. |
IG transfer fee | A fee charged by IG for processing a crypto transfer. IG does not charge this. |
IG does not charge a fee for crypto transfers
IG does not charge any fees for Transfer In — including network fees, which are absorbed by IG. This means the full amount you deposit is credited to your account. Most competitor platforms and self-hosted wallets pass blockchain network fees on to the client — IG does not.
Transfer In
| Fee type | Amount |
IG transfer fee | None |
External wallet / exchange fee | Set by your provider — outside of IG's control |
| Note: If your external wallet or exchange charges fees when you initiate a Transfer In, these are set by that provider and are outside of IG's control. Check with your external platform for their fee schedule before sending. |
Are there any limits?
There is no minimum or maximum amount for Transfer In — you can deposit any amount of a supported token into your IG account. Note that your external wallet or exchange may impose their own minimum send amounts.
