Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

How do I give someone else access to my account?

You can allow someone else to trade on your forex trading account by granting them power of attorney (POA).

The person you nominate must also hold an account with us. If they don’t already, they can apply online.

Once the person you nominate holds an account, complete the Limited Power of Attorney form. It details the functions that can be performed by the person you appoint, and the terms relating to this. It’s an important document, so please read it carefully.

You can email the completed form to helpdesk.us@ig.com. We aim to have the POA set up on the same day as we've received it, however it can take longer. Ensure all information has been filled out on the form, as this will help prevent delays.
