IG

They advertise as low brokerage fees but end up charging $44.95 if you don't trade. It's a messy system and not very user friendly.

Deposit and withdrawal are available,that is what they say but never true at least i was a victim of their scam and i know it is all a plan to convince people to make deposit and then deny them access to withdraw and if reported to the authorities, nothing probably will be done about it which was my case. The available amount shown is not real,but to make people believe they have funds and then demand more in order to have it withdrawn,please beware and stay clear, i fell victim of investment scam and i understand how they work and how it feels...

Regretted using IG trading. Good: usa trades, USA live charts , fees , commissions.
The Bad: just like so many other reviews stated in product review here , no live charts for oz trading, trading app is inaccurate, trading website so old , very very very difficult withdrawal policies!! Minimum withdrawal fees , AuD $50 fees for non active trading , 1 % fee for using credit card or direct debit transfer into your trading account , minimum aud$450 amount to transfer into trading account !!??

With so many competitors out there , why use IG !!?...

Would love to give an accurate review, but unfortunately I need to be 'factual'. Looks like I can't be. Fees way above the competition. Outside regular trading hours? Forget it. Transfer positions to reasonable providers? Good luck. Getting a reasonable spread? You get the picture. Don't sign up, and run, if you are still there.

I divided my money equally into stake and IG trading . IG trading gave me big headache with their so complex system and they actually have quite big fees too that many people don't know.
When i tried to withdraw my own money they didn't let me do this and its still with them .

I held a premium IG account managed by ‘Shane Cummins’ and was profitable when all of a sudden IG suspended my trading account for no reason and then they asked me for proof of income which I provided, and then they still blocked me and told me I can’t do business with them anymore and that the decision was an ‘internal business decision’. AFCA were no help and useless as they didn’t want to even see the main evidence that showed that the proof was provided to IG despite IG not asking me for the bank statements.

No, I do not recommend IG Trading. I was not happy with IG and sold everything I could. But there were a few companies I owned shares in but could not sell because they do not reach the minimum amount to sell, so I could not sell them. I then took a pic of my account (nobody else would do that I guess, but I wanted to make sure it was VERY CLEAR what account was to be closed) and the remaining shares and sent it to IG to close my account for me. They said they did and I was happy. But then I get a notice 6 months later saying that they had to s...

Sketchy, apparently they use there own pricing that can vary several points when compared with trading view according to there call centre staff. Avoid them,it's no wonder most seasoned pros hate IG

Many brokers currently do not charge minimum for US stocks, but only charge commission based on a number of shares usually 2 cents. IG charges $15 per side, so min $30 for each trade for CFD shares. They will charge you more @2 cents per share if this calculation exceeds $30 (win-win for them). Good platform but the cost of trading is one of the highest, actually prohibitive. No wonder most people wouldn't give even 1 star if it was possible. With share trading (Not CFD), zero commission on US stock is misleading as they charge you currency con...

They refused to refund money onto a new card (that had also been used to deposit) becuase the funds were deposited with a different card.... a card that is expired. They'll take your money no worries, no verification or anything needed, but getting it back, painful.

Long wait times to speak to inexperienced Help Desk staff who mostly perform a reception role ie log problems, provide no follow or feedback, no avenues to escalate complaints etc. Mobile app can be unstable and non-functional, forcing use of laptop to finance trades.

Customer service response times are measured in weeks. Do not expect them to answer a question, or be helpful. Their customer service is being measured on number of tickets closed.
Fees are appalling if you trade infrequently (quarterly $50)
Was unable to sell shares, forcing me to keep the account open, allowing them to collect their fees.
Just avoid, ready what everyone else wrote and use someone else.

Dodgy is an understatement. Like all good scams its really easy to deposit your money.
When you try to withdraw it, good luck.

The sheer volume of hoops we are being asked to jump through is ridiculous.

They will make it extremely difficult for you to withdrawal your money!! Lodged a complaint with AFCA as IG will do whatever they can to stop you withdraw your money! I have provided all required documents but IG is making all excuses not to return funds.

Probably the worst broker ever in Australia. I have been with them for a year+ but realized it late.

i am absolutely appalled by their services. I can't sell my shares online and when i called them they said that the share i want to sell is suspended thus i can't buy or sell the shares and my money stuck in their platform?! i put my money in their platform thinking that i could easily buy and sell shares. this is ridiculous. i don't recommend at all

Just telling my experience:
Sent a withdrawal request to my registered card and received the money same day, usually about
it took 2 - 3 days. The brokerage fee is very low comparing with other three I tried before.
Already with them 2 years, so far satisfied. Hope they can keep up the good work.
