Strength and Security
With IG Markets you can rest assured that your money is completely safe and secure at all times.
When you open an account with us we will hold your money on a segregated basis, in accordance with the Financial Services Authority's client money rules. Under these rules, we pay each client's money – including deposits and net unrealised profits – into segregated client bank accounts (i.e. accounts which are separate from our own).
The money is treated as belonging to our clients and cannot be used by us in any way at any time, giving you complete peace of mind.
Please note, these protections do not apply to clients who have agreed to title transfer their funds.
Online safety
To ensure your funds are safe, our platform uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) – the online standard for financial transactions. SSL is used by organisations such as PayPal and eBay as well as high street banks – which makes dealing with us as safe as dealing with your bank.
Financially secure
IG Markets is part of IG Group Holdings plc, a FTSE® 250 company. This affords you the security, resources, global coverage and service of a multinational organisation with more than 100,000 clients worldwide carrying out over a million transactions per month.
