Thanks for your post, 

I have informed the account opening team to check your account. 

Please note, we've had a lot of new applications which is why the opening stage is taking longer than usual.

Hi Charlotte,

I also have an account opening pending, so could you just clarify that there are folks actually processing applications at the moment and what is the approximate lead time?

Certainly the "upload your documents" dialog is unrealistic with the statement "we'll aim to complete our checks within a couple of hours".

Thanks and keep safe!

Thank you for letting me know. 

I will also put forward your email address. There's a whole team allocated to processing the applications at the moment due to high increase. I'm not sure on the approximate time but I will check and update. 

I will let them know about the message as I believe it is not appropriate with the situation at the moment. 

All the best, 

Stay safe 🙂

Hello Charlotte,

I hope you are fine.

I also have this issue, everything has been approved but it still asked me to activate my account. It has been 3 weeks now. I have send several emails. Do you think you could help also please ?

Best,

Alex

Hi Charlotte,

So after your last reply something seemed to happen and my documents were approved, thanks. Since then my account is still pending activation. As mentioned by the many other forum posters, emails are ignored. I can't tolerate the stress of waiting in a telephone queue, so that's a no go for me at the moment.

Any chance you could give things another kick please?

I also note that the documents processing time message still hasn't been updated to reality. This falls into the category of working smart and not hard. If clients don't have the right expectations, then that causes more calls to support, which overloads the system, which results in delays, which results in IG not meeting expectations, rinse repeat.

Anyway, it would be much better to have an indication of how long an application takes before one signs up at all. At this stage in the chaos  it must be possible to make a good estimate.

Thanks, regards,

Arn.

Sadly, nowadays the only solution is to kick them on Twitter - financial services industry workers are trained to respond to negative Tweets as these have a higher probability of generating negative media coverage / higher reputational damage.

I am having the same issue - my account has been pending activation for two weeks despite the documents having been verified.

[LindaDragon]

Hi 

My account is still not active

Please some someone give my account a bump as I would really like to start trading now and the wait is unfortunately undermining my confidence in this platform.

 

Thanks

Greetings Charlotte,

Please allow me to toss my hat in the ring as one more contender for a live account. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to speed up the process as well.

Cheers,

Hey Guest trader 123, because this is a guest account I'm not able to pass on an email address. 

If you could make a live account and message me I will be able to pass on your details. Please don't post you email address on the community.

Thank you,

See my post here as arnm. I'd guess you are close to being approved at this stage, if all documentation requirements have been fulfilled.
