Hi

I am Julien and new to IG share dealing account.

I would like to set a multi-currency account?

Can anyone explain how to do that?

 

Cheers, Julien.

I just found out how.  Go to My IG >> Live accounts >> currency conversion.  There, you can set the currency conversion to "Manual".  Then, the fund you deposited will be in the original currency when you deposit the fund. However, this choice is only available for share trading accounts.  Also, commission will no longer be 0; e.g., for US stocks, the current commission will be $0.02 per share, with $10 minimum charge.

Hi, I've not heard of a multi-currency account, you can have multiple accounts of different currencies and transfer funds between them. You would need to email the help desk for clarification and to set the accounts up.

Hey @Julien- As @Caseynotes mentioned we don't have multi-currency accounts. However, you can have two leveraged accounts with different currencies. 

The best thing to do is contact our help desk for more information on what would be best for your account and what you're looking to do.
