stock transfer to IG portal problem


salsid

Question

Hi, I recently opened an IG account and would like to transfer my existing shares and cash over from my old portal (interactive investor) to my new IG account. I was told to use the Stock transfer option from the 'Live accounts' IG menu. I duly completed the online form with all the details but when I submitted it comes back with an error. Unfortunately, the error message is not helpful and just says 'something went wrong'. I have tried several times with different browsers but still the same problem. I have contacted IG help desk and sent them the screen shots of the error but they have not responded.

Just wondering if anyone else had this transfer issue or indeed is there a way i can submit a transfer form manually?

I am having the same problem...and no one has responded.  Did your problem get solved, or shall I give up and move the shares to another broker?  It has been 5 days.  I am leaving the current broker due to customer service issues...

 
Something went wrong. Try again

Hi

unfortunately i have not received any useful help from the IG service desk. They have asked for screen shot sof the error message which I sent them  but have received no reply despite numerous email request (for some reason they are not answering the phone). This has been going on now for over 6 weeks - I thought initially it maybe because of the virus but still 6 weeks is a long time

Sadly, I feel I have no choice but to look for an alternative broker.

Thank you.  I just had a conversation with someone on the help desk.  I was told that I needed a CREST form (for moving shares held in certificated form into a broker's account).  I explained why that wasn't appropriate (I am moving a whole account, with cash and many shares that aren't in my name as they are held in a nominee account with another broker).  She said that she would look into it and email me back.  She has, but has sent me another CREST form.

I am contacting another broker now.  It is too bad that IG don't have someone on the help desk who can help...or someone who can flag up tech that doesn't work.

I thought IG were different.  I own shares in IG....

well done in getting through to their help desk!

i am surprised they are not very forthcoming when it comes to transferring funds over to them. You would have thought they would be keen to help out.  I didn't know about the CREST form I will check it out - thanks

A CREST form is for shares held in your name---you need to send the share certificate.  They charge serious money for the privilege.  It is not for transferring an entire account held elsewhere.  

I am surprised that IG don't monitor these pages.  Any company that cares about solving problems and getting customer service right would be doing so, and stepping in with assistance.

thanks, I downloaded and checked the CREST form but like you say it's for those who have paper share certificates. Mine are held electronically. I have found an alternative broker which I am currently researching. It is a bit of a shame because IG was a brokerage that came highly recommended.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

    • Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Zigzag for wave (B) Position - Wave A of (B) Direction - Wave A is still in play Details -  As it appears the decline from 720’4 will most likely continue lower, we have adjusted the previous count. Price is now very likely in wave A of (B) against the 523’6 low. Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Since late May, wheat has declined over 14% from 720, indicating that the commodity has retraced approximately half of the impulse rally that occurred between March 11th and May 28th. In the medium term, the move from March 11th remains a positive correction of the long-term bearish trend that spanned from March 2022 to March 2024—a two-year trend.   Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, wheat completed a bearish impulse wave from March 2022 at 523’6 in March 2024. Following this trend, a corrective phase was anticipated in the opposite direction. The impulse reaction that concluded wave (A) at the May 2024 peak is part of this larger bullish correction. Given that wave (A) is an impulse, we can expect at least a zigzag structure or possibly a double zigzag if the bullish correction extends over several months. Following the path of least resistance, a simple zigzag structure—wave (A)-(B)-(C)—is highly probable. Currently, the price is correcting wave (A) downwards in wave (B). Provided that the ongoing decline stays above 523’6, an extension higher is expected. However, wave (B) does not appear to be finished yet, as evident from the H4 chart.   H4 Chart Analysis: On the H4 chart, the price seems to be in wave A of (B), which is evolving into an impulse structure. We anticipate a typical zigzag structure for wave (B). The invalidation level at 523’6 should not be breached. If it is, the long-term bearish trend from March 2022 will likely resume, confirming that the bullish correction from March 2024 has concluded.   Summary: Wheat has seen a significant decline since late May, retracing half of its recent impulse rally. The medium-term trend from March 11th remains a positive correction within the context of a long-term bearish trend that lasted two years. On the daily chart, the completion of the bearish impulse wave in March 2024 was followed by a bullish correction, which is currently in wave (B) of a zigzag structure. The H4 chart suggests that wave A of (B) is forming an impulse structure, with expectations of a typical zigzag correction.   Traders should monitor the key level of 523’6. If this level holds, the bullish correction is likely to continue with a potential extension higher. However, a breach below 523’6 would invalidate this scenario, signaling a continuation of the long-term bearish trend.  Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
