Card
The quickest way to fund your account is by credit or debit card, as successful payments are deposited immediately.
Before funding you'll need to register your chosen card. You may have up to five cards listed on your account at a time, but each must be in your name and registered to the address you use for your IG account.
FPS Hong Kong Dollars (HKD)
You can make deposits via FPS to us in Hong Kong dollars, at no cost. This'll typically take one business day to clear. Note, HKD FPS is only available for Hong Kong bank accounts.
Simply use the following proxy ID to make the transfer into our account.
Proxy ID: fps@ig.com
