Boosted Interest Rate Promotion Terms October 2026 


Get a boosted interest rate of 7.00% AER on your uninvested cash balance up to £10,000 when you invest £500 or more

This promotion runs from 00:00 1 October 2026 to 23:59 14 October 2026, UK time.

1. What are the promotion’s key details? 

  • Get a boosted interest rate of 7.00% variable AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) reward on your uninvested cash balance up to £10,000 when you: 

- Are a new IG client. 

- Use code EARN7 to open an eligible account between 1 October 2026 and 14 October 2026.

- Make a first investment with a value of at least £500 in this eligible account by 31 October 2026.

- Hold an average investment value of at least £500 in the eligible account from the date of your first investment to 23.59 on 31 January 2027.

  • If you meet the investment value requirements, you’ll receive the boosted interest reward for each month from 1 November 2026 to 31 January 2027 in which you continue to meet those requirements.   
  • These terms include the eligibility criteria for this promotion. By taking part in this promotion, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.  
 
Your customer agreement and our usual costs and charges apply to your IG account(s). These charges may also apply to any reward you receive. 

2. How do I become eligible for this promotion? 

  • Be a UK resident and aged 18 or over. 
  • Be a new IG client and not have held any account with IG before applying for your eligible account under this promotion. 
  • Between 1 October 2026 and 14 October 2026, open one of the IG share dealing accounts listed below using code EARN7:

- Standard GIA (UK General Investment Account)  

- Standard ISA (UK Individual Savings Account) 

  • Make a first investment with a value of at least £500 in this account by 31 October 2026. This must be the first investment you have made in any IG account of the same type.
Value is the value of investments in your eligible account, less the value of any investments sold or transferred out. The following will not count towards this promotion:
Transfers from a third party to IG.
IPO-related investments or trades, including shares bought through IG's IPO allocation service or during an IPO subscription, grey market or conditional dealing period.
Cash, including cash deposits.
Unsettled trades or pending orders.
  • Hold an average investment value of at least £500 in that account from the date of your first investment to 31 January 2027.
From the date of your first investment to 31 January 2027, we’ll work out your average investment value each month as follows:
Each day at 22:00 UK time, we’ll check the current market price in GBP of each investment in your eligible account. We’ll multiply that figure by the number of shares or units you hold, then add these amounts together.
At the end of each month, we’ll add together your daily investment values and divide that total by the number of days in that month.
This gives us your average investment value for that month.
  • This promotion will only apply to the eligible account in which you first make an initial investment of at least £500. If your first investment in an account is less than £500, that account will not qualify, even if you later add more money to it.

3. How and when will I receive the promotion reward? 

  • If you meet the promotion requirements, you’ll earn boosted interest at 7.00% variable AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) on your uninvested cash balance, up to £10,000, from 1 November 2026 to 31 January 2027.  
  • The boosted rate applies only to cash held in your eligible account up to the maximum £10,000 and not to shares, ETFs or any other investments. 
  • You will earn interest at the Standard Rate (3.75% variable AER) as set out in the Standard Interest Rate Terms, on any uninvested cash that:  

- is held in your eligible account for any month where your average investment value is less that £500, except where these terms allow otherwise (e.g. market movements); 

- is above £10,000 in your eligible account; 

- is held in any other account; and 

- is held in the eligible account after 31 January 2027. 

If your average investment value later meets the £500 requirement for another calendar month during the relevant period, you may receive the boosted interest reward for that month. 

The maximum amount of cash that can earn interest across all eligible accounts is £100,000, as set out in the Standard Interest Rate Terms. Any boosted interest reward will be paid alongside any interest earned at the Standard Rate. 

We may change the interest rate reward at any point and without prior notice. 

You can only receive one reward, even if you open more than one account or meet the reward requirements in more than one account.

4. What about tax? 

  • If the law requires us to deduct or withhold tax, we may do this before crediting the reward to your account.  
  • You are responsible for any tax that may be due on your reward and for submitting any required tax form by the deadline. We are not responsible if you miss out on the reward because you do not submit it in time. 
  • We do not provide tax advice. If you are unsure about your tax position, you should speak to an independent tax adviser. 

5. When can’t I take part in the promotion? 

  • We'll do what we reasonably can to open your account, but you won't be able to take part in the promotion if:  

- You are taking part in another IG group promotion or incentive, unless those terms allow it. If you are taking part in more than one IG group promotion, you will only be eligible for the promotion you took part in first. 

- You joined IG or opened an account indirectly through a third party, introducer or similar arrangement.  

- You work for IG group, one of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or a direct competitor of IG. 

- Legal, regulatory or other restrictions apply to your account, for example because of where you live.  

- You or your investments do not meet our usual account checks or suitability requirements.  

  • Where possible, we'll let you know during the application process if any of these restrictions mean you can’t take part in the promotion. 

6. How will you use my Personal Data? 

We will use your data to run the promotion and administer the reward. We’ll handle your personal data in line with our Privacy Notice and Access Policy and privacy website at www.ig.com/uk/privacy.

We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under register number 944492. Our registered address is 88 Wood Street, London, England, EC2V 7DA. 
  • Except where the loss or damage is caused by our negligence or wilful misconduct, we are not responsible for any direct or indirect loss or damage you incur arising from:

- us changing, suspending, cancelling, withdrawing or being unable to run the promotion as planned. 

All trading involves risk. The value of shares, ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), ETCs (Exchange-Traded Commodities) and cryptocurrency can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take care to manage your exposure.
You accept all risks associated with trading over the internet, mobile applications, and downloadable software.
  • We may withhold, cancel, restrict access, or recover your reward if we reasonably believe you have acted fraudulently, abused the promotion, gained an unfair or unintended advantage, or breached these terms or your customer agreement. 

  • We may change or end these terms, or suspend, cancel or withdraw this promotion, at any time and without telling you first. If you have already started taking part, you can still receive the reward if you meet all the requirements, unless we reasonably believe the promotion has been misused or these terms have been breached.

  • We’ll decide how this promotion applies, including whether you have met the requirements, how any reward is awarded and any exceptions. If there is a dispute or something is not covered by these terms, we’ll resolve it in a way we consider fair and reasonable.

  • If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be treated as removed, but the rest of the terms will continue to apply. 

  • If your customer agreement conflicts with these promotion terms, your customer agreement and our costs and charges will take priority.  

  • These terms are governed by English law. Only the courts of England and Wales can deal with disputes about these terms.
