Opening a second account with a different IG office. ID verification? Minimum deposit?

Hello!

Does opening a second account with a different IG office require another ID verification? Are the minimum deposits relevant as well (e.g. opening an account with the Swiss IG office with an existing UK/European IG account that has less than 2500 CHF on it)?

Thank you for your answer.

I opened a second account with IG/AU because of the ESME regulations in order to trade with lower margins, even though I have had to do so with CFD's rather than Spread Betting (which is only available in IG/UK). I have not been asked for ID verification as already have an IG/UK account. Minimum deposits are the same - in whatever currency you trade in.

Thanks @idabida - it's worth noting that this is also down to your personal circumstance and the account type you are looking for. It really is a case-by-case basis. For example, some clients who open Swiss accounts will require additional documentation such as proof of identity/residency. This will be down to specific laws in Switzerland and to be compliant with local regulations.

Just to add my experience. I closed my UK account and opened a new account at IG Switzerland. I was treated by IG Switzerland as if I was a new customer, so I had to go through the usual ID verification (I expected this, so no problem with that).

Since then I have been happy customer of IG Switzerland and did not experience any further problems or limitations.

    • Does anyone else know any other SB providers that you can use to trade through TV?  I've only so far seen CFD providers which doesn't work for me due to tax reasons (mainly the hassle of having to account for it as well as the obvious cost).
    • Is there any update on when/if there will be any integration with Tradingview???
    • The anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions can vary depending on the specific cryptocurrency you use and the methods you use. While some cryptocurrencies provide a degree of privacy and anonymity, it is important to note that achieving complete anonymity can be difficult. Most cryptocurrencies operate on a pseudonymous basis. Transactions are recorded in a public ledger, called a blockchain, using cryptographic addresses instead of personal information. However, these addresses are usually not directly linked to a real identity, unless someone voluntarily discloses this information. Some cryptocurrencies, such as Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC), are specifically designed to increase privacy and anonymity. I read on https://deeplab.com/darkweb/anonymous-sudan-launches-cyberattacks-on-middle-eastern-news-outlets-expands-target-list-with-four-additional-names that some people use this anonymity as a cyber attack.
