Further notices concerning trading with us.

Third-party transactions

Customers should note that, other than in highly exceptional circumstances, we will only accept payments into accounts held with us from the account holder. Similarly, all payments out of an account held with us must go back to the account holder.

United States customers

Under existing US legislation, we are unable to enter into margin trading transactions with US residents.

US customers are defined as:

• any natural person resident in the US (other than on a short-term basis); or
• a corporation or partnership incorporated or organised in the US, but excluding an offshore branch or agency of a US person that operates for valid business reasons and is engaged and regulated as an insurance company or bank; or
• a branch or agency of a foreign entity located in the US; or
• a trust of which the trustee is a US person, unless a non-US person has or shares investment discretion; or
• an estate of which a US person is the executor or administrator, unless the estate is governed by foreign law and a non-US person has or shares investment discretion; or
• any account held for the benefit of a US person.
