No GBP account currency option?

[DVSTRD]

Hi all,

I have just set up my IG account and im trying to open the demo on MT4. I have got to the new account section and as the picture I have attached displays, I have no forex-gbp option even though i'm in the uk?

Does anyone have a solution to this? - I must note I'm on Mac.

Hi @DVSTRD,

Yes, IG does provide GBP accounts on MT4. Could you please confirm if you are selecting the correct server?
When opening the demo account, make sure to choose IG-DEMO as your server.  Please refer to the screenshots below for guidance, and please let me know if you are still unable to locate them.

All the best,

Hi Ashish,

I am operating on a MAC so when I redownloaded the MT4 application from the IG website, it didn't come preinstalled with the IG servers. 

Furthermore, when I tried to manually input the server address, it did not allow me the option to have GBP as my base currency, hence I rase this query.

Kind regards,

Dan
