Is My IG account restricted by the regulations of where I live?


CKCathnott

Question

I currently reside in Germany and plan to start a live IG trading account in a few months. As I understand it, my account has to be opened with the German office www.ig.com/de However I plan to relocate to Barbados in the next 2 years, my question: how can I continue trading with my account?

1. Do I open a new account under IG international and transfer my funds?

2. Will there be a change in rules for the use of an International account, how will the new account be impacted?

Looking forward to your response.

Hi @CKCathnott,

Thank you for your message. Effectively you will need to reapply with our international office. Each of our offices are regulated by local regulators. Therefore, you will need to sign a new user agreement relevant to your new region legislation.

You can refer to this page for furhter information https://www.ig.com/en/welcome-page, you will only have access to CFD with an international account as opposed to a German account.

I hope that it helps!

All the best - Arvin
