Yup.... It looks like I've just got a pay rise of £75,000..... err... AND my entire family has decided to give me all of their savings and pensions to trade with! Time to give I.G. a call again :cheesy: (only joking, I'll stick with the platforms I use at the moment for now)

Ok, so here it their reply...... "Thank you for your email. IG has a policy in place whereby it will not open accounts for individuals who are not considered to have sufficient income and/or savings. This policy is in place as many of the products offered by IG are complex, high risk...

Thanks yet again for your all your input folks. (I like this forum) Well, I emailed IG compliance department earlier concerning my issue. (Thanks for the email address) So' I'll let you know what they said once a reply is recieved. No doubt, it'll have been something stupid that I've done.... I...

Well, Tomorton, I signed up for Capital Spreads without any problems, entering the same details as my I.G. application. Obviously, I will have to research a little to see what's different to it from plus500 and what the users think of it. Just learned that folks that use their App, aren't too...

Well, it must be a mistake from my side James, either that, or a dark conspiracy to prevent my successfull (so far, so good) CFD day trading from expanding into other CFD providers?! :) I haven't yet contacted them. As i mentioned earlier, I completed the I.G. online form, they sent me an...

Thanks for that Tomorton, I'll definitely look in to them, much appreciated. :thumbsup:

Well, thanks for all your help. I shall email I.G. to try and find out the issue. In the meantime, could you recommend a good quality (good reputation) company to do online CFD day trading with? Thanks again, Paul.

I filled out the I.G. online form on sunday, answered every question, including the one asking if I had experience trading. Then I recieved an email on tuesday asking me to detail annual income and savings. I replied to their missed call and spoke to one of their guys, where I stated a 20k+...

Never been bankrupted, fully employed earning £20k+, over 2k savings, good credit rating, lived at my address for over 10 years, my details match my address, the address as no black-marks against it..... As far as I can see, I'm fully legit. I have no idea why I would be rejected, and...

I understand that honesty is the best way. However, as I'm sure you'll agree, it is frustrating to be turned away from a trading platform when you have a good wage, savings and (some) experience. Thanks for your reply, but both my income and savings are larger than the two amounts that you have...

I declared my income and savings and it wasn't good enough to be accepted. I simply would like to know what figures are acceptable in order to get an account. I have been trading CFD's on plus500 for 6 months now, and without blowing my own trumpet too hard, I'm doing pretty well. However...

:cheesy: The question is "What criteria do I need to open an I.G. account?.... And your answer is, the truth? Thanks. :thumbsup:

Hello All, I have been trading CFD's with Plus500 for 6 months now, and today I was denied an account with I.G. I guess, when asked, my income and savings didn't meet the bar. Does anybody here know how much One should state when asked these questions? As obviously I fell short. Thanks for...
