Primarybid

What is the link between IG and Primary Bid?

My bank statement shows primarybid as the recipient when I deposit funds via my IG app.

Primary Bid say I have an account with them. I have not opened one with them and have had no contact with them

I'm presuming IG use the Primary Bid platform but I'm annoyed they have my data without my permission

I thought I was trading with IG NOT Primary Bid

Hi @Chaswell

Thanks for reaching out, 

Primary Bid is our partner specifically on IPOs, usually you would have had to have an account with primary bid and actively link your IG share dealing account to Primary Bid in order to be able to participate. Please see details on this from the following link: https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/share-dealing/ipos

You should be able to contact primary bid support if you wish for the accounts to not be linked. 

All the best, 

Anda

I did not apply for a Primary Bid account and did not give IG permission to link my account or vice versa

The first I heard about Primary Bid is seeing their name on my bank statement
