Depositing Funds

We are pleased to support a wide range of payment types to allow you to receive and deposit funds in your IG Markets account.

This page details the ways in which you can pay in funds to your account. You are able to make and withdraw most payments within our advanced PureDeal dealing platform, using the My Account section.

Deposit

We welcome payments using any of the following methods:

  • Best Receiver deposit (yen only)
  • Bank Transfer (USD and yen)

Best Receiver deposit account

Best Receiver deposit accounts are unique bank account numbers set up at Mizuho Bank by IG Markets and sent to new customers upon successful IG Markets application. Each account number is unique to your IG Markets account, allowing for secure transfers and speedy verification of remittances by IG Markets.

Once you have your Best Receiver number, you can deposit funds into your personal dedicated Best Receiver account from any high-street ATM or via online banking.

Best Receiver accounts can only accept yen transfers from banks based in Japan.

Bank Transfer allows you to remit US dollars into your USD IG Markets trading account.
