Live overseas and trying to open an account


Recommended Posts

I was trying to open an account, living in Japan. I went to IG.com.au to open an account as I pay tax in Australia, however, I don't have an address in Australia as I live in Japan. How could I open an account??

Hi @marionie

We understand your situation regarding residing in Japan while wanting to open an account with IG in Australia. Due to jurisdiction and regulatory restrictions, you are unable to open an Australian account without an Australian address.

However, you can still open an account with IG Japan. This will allow you to trade while residing in Japan. Visit the link to open an account with IG Japan: https://www.ig.com/jp/application-form

All the best,

Hi AshishiG

Thank you for getting back to me on this matter.

I understand the jurisdiction issue occurs in Australia without a valid address.

However, there is an issue creating an account with IG Japan online, as they ask to put in a full name in Japanese character (Kanji), as I don't use Japanese character in my name.

Any idea what I could do to bypass this issue?

Dear @marionie, After consulting with our Sales team in Japan, we were advised that you can apply using your English name in both Kanji and Katakana. However, the name needs to be in Zenkaku format, which means you must leave a space between each letter. For example, if the name is Ashish IG, it should be written as A s h i s h  I G. To simplify this process, please visit the following link: https://so-zou.jp/web-app/text/fullwidth-halfwidth/. Enter your full name to convert it to Zenkaku format, and then use that in your application.

All the best,
AshishIG

Thanks, I will try that then.

However, this information is already in your system that I couldn't use this same username.

Can you erase my information?

Could you please send an email to sales.jp@ig.com with this information so that the Sales team in Japan can make the necessary changes?

All the best, 
AshishIG

Thanks

Once I establish the new account with IG Japan, how can I close the account with IG Australia?

You can just drop an email to helpdesk.au@ig.com from your registered email address requesting to cancel the account.

All the best, 
AshishIG

    • Solana ($SOL) is facing a challenging period in the market, with its price dropping to $130.56 USD. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening and what might be next for SOL. Recent Price Decline 15.17% Drop in a Month: Over the past month, Solana coin has fallen by 15.17%. This decline reflects the broader market’s pressure on the cryptocurrency. 8.5% Weekly Fall: Just this week, Solana saw an 8.5% drop, a sign that bears are firmly in control. Despite attempts to maintain a bullish outlook, the market seems to have different plans. Critical Support Levels Breakdown of $134 Support: Recently, SOL broke through the $134 support level, raising concerns that further declines could be on the way. Key Support at $122: The $122 level is now under the spotlight. This price point has been tested six times, and many whales view it as crucial. A break below this could push SOL towards $90. But if this support holds, it might set the stage for a bullish turnaround. $100 Support: While the $100 support level is still a bit distant, it’s essential to watch if the current bearish momentum continues. Revisiting this level could spell trouble for Solana. Changing Market Sentiment Shift to Bearish: The overall sentiment around Solana is slowly turning bearish. Since March, SOL has struggled to make new highs, and the current price action suggests that new lows could be coming. Potential Bullish Outcome: However, some analysts believe that if Solana manages to stay above $122 throughout 2024 and 2025, it could be incredibly bullish for the future, possibly leading to significant gains in 2025. Upcoming Breakpoint Event Historical Price Surges: There’s a potential catalyst on the horizon. Historically, Solana has seen price surges two weeks before its annual Breakpoint event. In previous years, SOL surged by 35% in 2021 and 2022, and by 60% in 2023. 2024 Event: With 16 days left until the 2024 Breakpoint event, could we see another rally? Only time will tell. The Importance of $122 Support As Solana approaches the $122 support level, all eyes are on whether it will hold. A break below could lead to further declines, while maintaining this support could bring back some bullish momentum. As always, stay informed, and remember the old adage in crypto: "buy the rumor, sell the news." Keep watching the charts as we near the 2024 Breakpoint event.
