IG has been an excellent platform for both my ISA and share-dealing account. It makes investing straightforward, including buying US stocks through both the ISA and general trading account. Deposits from my linked bank account arrive very quickly, and withdrawals have been just as impressive—processed almost instantly in my experience. The platform is easy to use, reliable, and gives me a clear view of my investments and available cash. Customer service has also been consistently helpful and responsive whenever I have needed support. A particularly useful feature is that IG pays interest on eligible cash held in the account, rather than leaving uninvested money earning nothing. Overall, I have found IG to be a convenient, efficient, and well-supported investing platform, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking to manage an ISA or trade shares.

Money grabbing and lacking morality

Let me gamble away $5m. No checks, no stops. Just let me carry on. Great company, morals are right up there.

I believe that IG offers a professional service with a high degree of dependability. Their trading platform is user-friendly and easy for traders to navigate. Some platforms can be overly complicated, but IG remains clear and executes trades efficiently and flawlessly without any unnecessary hassle. The platform's features, like depositing or withdrawing funds, placing buy or sell orders, and accessing essential information on previous trades, are all intuitive to use. The variety of technical indicators available is impressive and easy to implement. I have been utilising IG for several years, and even though my success in trading has varied, I can always rely on the IG platform, as it has consistently been there for me like a true companion.
