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!

    • GX Uranium ETF Commodity Elliott Wave Analysis The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, tracks the performance of companies in the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms involved in uranium mining, exploration, and production worldwide. As nuclear power gains recognition as a cleaner energy alternative, the demand for uranium is expected to rise, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to benefit from the sector's growth. Price completed the bearish corrective cycle from May 2024 in August of the same year and the commodity has followed with rapid rallies to confirm it’s in another bullish phase. The commodity is now expected to extend above the May 2024 high to reach its highest price in over a decade. Long Term Analysis From the long-term view, GX URA appears to be in a bullish corrective cycle. Between February 2011 to March 2020, the ETF fell consistently making lower lows and lower highs reminiscent of an impulse wave structure. price has been correcting the long-term bearish run since the low of March 2020. From March 2020, the price completed an impulse wave sequence for wave A (circled) of the primary degree in November 2021. Afterward, it made a corrective pullback for wave B (circled) which ended in July 2022. From there an impulse wave was completed for wave (1) of C (circled) in May 2024 and a pullback followed for wave (2) as the daily chart shows. The current rally from the 5th of August 2024 is expected to be wave 1 of (3). Wave 1 is incomplete. Thus, there is a lot of room for buyers to keep pushing the long-term recovery. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price is currently in wave ((iii)) of 1 and could extend higher before pullback for ((iv)) where buyers will like to buy again. Traders can look for buying opportunities from the dip when the price completes wave ((iv)) or wave 2 in the near term. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
