IG Manual vs Automatic currency conversion and $15 charge


Recommended Posts

Hi 

Could someone please clarify what exactly does the conversion fee found on https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/share-dealing/costs-fees mean

"Clients who choose to convert currencies manually will pay commission of 2 cents per share with a minimum charge of $15 on US stocks."

My account is in GBP but all my share trading is in US. So far I've had it set to both automatic and to manual while making deposits and selling and buying shares but as I qualify for zero commission trading, I haven't seen this charge anywhere.

But I 'm a bit apprehensive about this sneaking up on me later on. Have you been charged this $15 per share commission at some point?

Thanks

IG staff has just told me today 1:30pm London time. if you use GBP to trade US share, you pay currency conversion fee but qualify for commission free. If you use USD to trade US share, you will not be qualified for commission free but no conversion fee to pay.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
