HSBC credit card cash related payments


devc

Question

I have been adding funds to my account through my HSBC credit card.

However, as HSBC declined my new transaction as they claim that IG is taking the credit card payment as a cash transaction, ans requested me to contact IG to change this.

Can IG accept the funds/deposit from my credit card as a regular payment and NOT as a cash payment, so I can add funds to my account?

Hi @devc,

IG accepts Visa and Mastercards debit and credit cards for deposits and withdrawal.
On our system it shows that the transaction was declined by your bank.

Please reach out to helpdesk.uk@ig.com for our payment team to provide you with further information.

Thank you - Arvin

Hi @ArvinIG

Thanks for your prompt reply, agreed my bank declined the transaction, the reason given was -  IG uses credit card payments as cash transactions (something beyond my understanding). I just wanted to check with your team if that's the case can IG change the transaction type?

I have the same issue. I see cash advance fee applied to my card starting this week. Till August, all deposits to IG were treated as shopping transactions and no fee applied.

In general, credit card companies often consider transactions involving cash-like equivalents, such as purchasing virtual currencies, as cash advances rather than regular purchases. This typically comes with higher fees and interest rates.

It's best to contact IG's customer support to inquire if there is an alternative payment method that they accept for regular purchases. Or, you could use  for money operations. I hope that helps!
