What’s the issue or question maybe we can help? Also depends on when you emailed and you’re expected turn around time. Generally a day for a non timespecific question - manage expectations.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Essentially i'm looking to move my ISA account to another provider but keep my spreadbetting account with IG. The new provider has been trying to contact IG to get the valuation on my ISA account, but IG haven't replied and the new provider suggested i attempt to make contact.

I initially emailed IG about 3 days ago i didn't get a reply, so i took TrendFollowers advice and phoned customer services yesterday. The lady said the person who deals with this is away and suggested i send an email to the helpdesk. I told her i had done this already and then she said i needed to fill in am AML (Anti Money Laundering) form. I asked her "where do i get this form from?", and she didn't know and suggested again i send an email to the helpdesk.

The lady was pleasant enough but wasn't really able to help me.

So do i need to fill in an AML form as a private investor?

And where do i go from here?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

@yogitree,  just a thought but have you filled out a transfer authorisation form provided to you by the firm you are transferring to?

I ask because to transfer assets into IG they provide a form for you to fill out which they then take to the company where the assests are to be transfered from.

In your case if IG haven't received a similar authorisation form from the new company they may be waiting.

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies. I'm sure i did fill in a similar form online on the Lloyds website when entering all the necessary data they needed.

I'll phone Lloyds on Monday and find out if there are any forms or data that they need from me etc.

Thanks for all of your help.

Stick transfer can take a month or more but yes as others have said @JamesIG may be able to push internally. Things can slip thru the cracks but also make sure you check junk mail folder as I had that issue before

Hi @yogitree,

 

AML checks are to verify the source of your funds, this is usually requested to clients that are relatively new. We sent an email a while ago where we explained the steps needed in order to do these checks, but we have not heard a reply from you regarding the documents requested, so we cannot proceed with the transfer.

In order to proceed, please reply to the email with the documents requested. If you cannot find the email, please contact our helpdesk again and they will be able to tell you the documents I need (i have left a note on your account specifying what we need from you).

Hi @DanielaIG,

Thanks for the message, i've looked in my emails and found the documents you are referring to. I had overlooked this particular email, so it was my fault.

But thanks to everyone that helped out.

    • I don't know but it looks like a really awesome service Because I have come across all sorts of mixers in my work  
    • Charting the Markets: 2 June Indices rally as US agrees debt ceiling bill. EUR/USD, GBP/USD rally while EUR/GBP stabilises as US debt ceiling bill is passed. And WTI recoups recent losses while gold, silver on track for first weekly advance. Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 02 June 2023               This is here for you to catch up but if you have any ideas on markets or events you want us to relay to the TV team we’re more than happy to.
    • It was a blockbuster number yesterday for the ADP private payrolls, showing 278,000 jobs opened in May, while forecasts had been for 170,000.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 02 June 2023 IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor suggests a similar upside surprise could see almost 300,000 jobs created under the non-farm payroll count with estimates for 190,000 job creations. The unemployment rate is seen rising one notch to 3.5%. (Video Transcript) NPFs: what to expect Could yesterday's strong private payrolls number from the ADP reading give us an insight into the potential upside risk to today's non-farm payrolls? That report from ADP yesterday showed 278,000 jobs opened in May - forecasts had been for 170,000. Now the NFP expectations, 190,000 job creations are forecast for the month of May proportionately using that ADP surprise. That would mean an upside reading for NFPs close to 300,000. Why the increase? Now, the unemployment rate is seen rising one notch to 3.5%. Why is that rising? When you've got that rise in the number of job creations, the unemployment rate is not taking the same data that the jobs numbers themselves are being produced from average hourly earnings. We're looking there for that to go up 0.3% month-on-month, 4.4% year-on-year, still below the rate of inflation. Now, this chart shows the unemployment rate back to pre-Covid-19 levels. It's clear that jobs have been created at an appreciable rate and this alongside a relatively strong GDP number and inflation coming down, there may yet be a soft landing for the US economy. But if the Federal Reserve (Fed) does continue to raise rates, things may get a little bit more sticky for the economy and a little bit more difficult to predict. This is a comparison of fed funds rates and US consumer price inflation (CPI) since January 2021. So you can see here the rate at which the US central bank has been piling the pressure on the monetary markets with that rise to five and a quarter percent. And at the same time, the CPI number is coming down, which is a good thing, but it's still not down to the 2% level, 4.9% is a long way away still from the 2% target. So the Fed is entitled still to have an excuse to raise interest rates. US dollar basket Let's take a look at what's been happening with the US dollar basket. Yesterday, we saw a pullback coming through as we saw money going into risk assets because of that rubber stamping from the Senate or the vote in the Senate to approve the budget that's now gone for the presidential seal. EUR/USD And we've seen a second day in a row of losses or the euro for the dollar basket as far as the euro/dollar is concerned, bouncing away from that 76.4% retracement. And I think now, you will have been stopped out if you were short on this, you would have been stopped out on this and hopefully you would have got some profits on the way down. So that's where things are ahead of non-farm payrolls out today at 13:30 UK time. And we will be live on the IG platform at 13:25 today.
