How do I transfer my shares or ISAs from another broker to IG?
Transferring from a UK-based broker to IG
If you have an active IG share dealing or ISA account, you can request to transfer your personal shares or ISAs to IG from another UK-based broker. Simply open the ‘live accounts’ section in your My IG dashboard and follow the steps below.
- Using a web browser, log in to your My IG dashboard
- Navigate to the ‘live accounts’ tab
- From the drop down menu, choose the share dealing or ISA account you wish to transfer to
- Select ‘stock transfers’ (for share dealing) or 'ISA transfers' (for ISAs)
- Click on ‘start request now’ and follow the on-screen prompts
-
Download, print and sign the pre-populated document (electronic signatures are not accepted)
-
Scan and email the signed document from your registered email address to:
isacashtransfers@ig.com - For all ISA cash transfers
isastocktransfers@ig.com - For all the ISA Stock and Shares transfers
giatransfers@ig.com - For all Non-ISA (General Investment account) transfers
* Please note wet signatures are required to initiate the transfer request - electronic signatures will not be accepted. Transfer requests via post aren’t accepted.

Other important information
- We do not charge for broker-to-broker transfers to your IG share dealing or ISA accounts
- If transferring US stocks, please ensure you have a valid W-8BEN form
- Your ISA allowance/subscription will be amended according to the ISA history form sent from your previous broker. If you believe the amount to be incorrect you will need to contact your previous broker
- If you have an ISA with us as well as with another broker, it’s your responsibility to ensure the consolidated amount subscribed does not exceed your £20,000 allowance per financial year
- We aim to complete transfers within 14 working days, but this is dependent on your transferring broker as well as the volume of transfers we’re busy with
