How do I open a spread betting, CFD, share dealing or ISA account?

If you don’t have any live accounts with IG, you can apply for a live account directly from here.

If you’re an existing client of IG’s with a live account, you can open other accounts via your My IG dashboard.

Log in to your account dashboard, select ‘add an account’ and then choose the account type you want to add. As part of the application process, you may need to complete a few questions regarding your trading and professional experience and your education. Select ‘I agree’ and ‘finish’ once you’ve completed the questions.

Please note: leveraged accounts require manual processing and might not reflect immediately. We’ll reach out to you via your preferred email address if anything further is required.

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 70% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
