Account fund currencies

[Member12345]

Hello, I recently opened a spreadbetting account and made a GBP deposit. I then deposited from a EUR bank account but the funds were automatically converted to GBP on deposit. As I would now like to deposit more EUR and make non-GBP trades I want my EUR deposit to remain in EUR. How can I do this?

Thanks

If you're using a leveraged account (spread betting or CFD) I would advise making a second account. Then give us a call or email and as us to change the base currency to Euros. 

If you have a non-leveraged account we offer manual conversion. Which means you can hold different currencies on the account to avoid conversion feeds.

Hi CharlotteIG. I am using a spreadbetting account. I rang IG and had them change the base currency of my second account to EUR. Thanks for your response.
