Scrapping the minimum deposit of £100

I used to trade with IG a lot and also introduced clients to you, but since you have made numerous negative changes I stopped trading with your company.  One of these negative changes was the introduction of a minimum deposit of £100 by debit or credit card when funding ones account.

 

I would like IG to scrap this and if a minimum is necessary make it £10 and no more than that.  Ex. if a trade I am wanting to take only needs £40 margin - I am being forced to fund my account with a £100 and then it will take 3 days just to have the £60 go back to my bank account.

 

As you are now making some very positive changes (reduced spreads on forex and gold and free guaranteed stops) then if you scrap the minimum deposit I would probably come back to trading with you at lease for some instruments.

Hi , thanks for your post.

 

Firstly, it's great to hear that you feel we have made some positive changes recently! All feedback is welcome of course, so I'm happy to address your concerns too regarding the minimum deposit.

 

The minimum amount of £100 is in line with our minimum bet sizes and margin requirements for trades.  For example, although you may only need to put down £50 to open a trade, you will still always need separate available funds to cover any running losses, as margin funds cannot be used for this.  It is therefore prudent to maintain a good balance of available funds, as if the market moves quickly against you and this balance becomes negative, your positions are at risk of being closed out.  The minimum of £100 ensures you have at least some available funds to protect you from this.

 

I hope that clarifies our minimum account deposit, but please let us know if you have any more queries!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

    • Summary: Still expecting another low for indices, the current move up part of a corrective rally. Normally I look for indices lead from stocks, however some stocks are displaying strength and some weakness so this mix bag is showing up in the Nasdaq 100 pattern as a probable wave four triangle at the current low.

    • A lot of transformation is happening to BNB at the moment with the integration of bitcoin lightning network and Optimism especially with opBNB birth but that has not reflected in users confidence primarily because of the many negativities surrounding the platforms operations in North America and Australia. BGB on the other is gaining traction and value because a lot of investment is going into the development of the ecosystem recently with the injection of $100M and also improved partnership deals
