W-8BEN help

[Guest Jakerudge_]

I'm new to this app and from the UK. I want to trade us stocks but can't, how would I fill the form out? I can't seem to find it or how to fill it out.

 

Thanks,

Jake

Hi , thanks for the post and welcome!

 

To complete your W-8BEN form, you just need to log into the My IG dashboard and then go to the Settings tab.  On the left-hand side, the last option is 'Dealing US stocks', which is where you can complete the form.  You'll just need to answer a few preliminary questions and then submit your details, and it should be applied automatically to your account.

 

Remember that you may need to activate certain US data feeds in addition to the W-8BEN form.  You can do so within My IG > Settings > Data Feeds.

 

Any more questions just ask!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

Hi is a W8- BEN form required even if I’m only trading spread bet accounts?
