How do I deposit funds into my account?

To make a deposit funds on the desktop platform, log in to My IG, and click ‘add funds’ next to the account you’d like to fund.

Alternatively, you can open the relevant account’s web trading platform and click on the ‘add funds’ button at the top of the screen.

Another way you can make a deposit is by clicking on the ‘live accounts’ tab at the top of your My IG dashboard. You’ll then need to choose the relevant account from the dropdown, click on ‘deposit funds’ and select your preferred payment method.

Open the app, click on ‘account’ at the bottom right, select the relevant account and click ‘add funds’ to choose your preferred payment method.

Open the app, click on ‘account’ on the bottom-right corner of ths screen, select the relevant account and click ‘add funds’ to choose your preferred payment method.

Our standard FX conversion fee is 0.8%, which is added to the best available exchange rate provided by several banks. To add our FX conversion fee, we first multiply the underlying exchange rate by 1.008.

If you use this method, make sure that your card details match the name and address on your IG account. Any successful payments are deposited immediately.

You can have up to five active cards on your account at a time. If you’ve reached your limit but want to add a new card, you’ll need to first remove one of them. You might need to attach some documents to help us verify your card before you can delink it.

You’ll need to make your deposit from a personal PayPal account that matches your IG account details (eg your full name and address). We can’t allocate funds to a personal account using a business PayPal account.

When depositing via PayPal, click on the ‘PayPal’ button from the funding page, enter the amount you want to deposit and click on ‘continue’. You’ll be directed to the PayPal site to complete the transaction.

Once you’ve deposited the funds, you’ll be automatically redirected to My IG .

Your PayPal account will then be linked to your IG account after you complete your first transaction. You can only link one PayPal account at a time.

If you want to use a different PayPal account held in your name, contact us to unlink your current one.

If you’re transferring funds internationally, or your deposit needs an FX conversion, the standard processing time is one to three working days, depending on your bank. If you provide a valid proof of payment, we can credit your account in advance – but this is at our discretion.
