How do I deposit funds into my MT4 account?

As MT4 doesn’t have a deposit or withdrawal function, you'll need to make a deposit by logging in to your IG account and following the steps mentioned below.

You can deposit funds with your credit card, debit card or via bank transfer. Corporate account holders can only fund their account(s) via bank transfer. We currently don’t accept PayPal funding.

Make sure that any card or bank account is in your name when you make a deposit – we don’t accept deposits made by a third party or from a business card.

We’ll credit successful card payments to your MT4 account right away. Bank transfers can take up to three working days, but you can upload your proof of payment while you wait.

All payments will have to go through security checks and should come from a source held in your name. We usually return your funds using the same method and to the account used to make your deposit.

How to deposit via desktop

Log in to My IG, select your MT4 account in the ‘live accounts’ tab and click ‘deposit funds’ to choose your preferred payment method

How to deposit via the mobile app

Select ‘account’ on the bottom-right corner of the screen, switch to your MT4 account and click on the ‘add funds’ button to choose your preferred payment method.

You can also transfer funds between your IG accounts. For more information on deposits, click here.
