Hi Brendan B
A quick question if I may - Did your Spread Betting A/c actually move to IG Europe last year. Did you receive a confirmation email when it happened.
In June 2020 I clicked on the link which was a permanent fixture on my IG Dashboard - "Don't let Brexit affect your trading". I completed the process and did ID verification via ID-Now. I got an on screen notification to confirm all was done and IG would be in touch in due course. The 'Brexit link' disappeared. All sorted - I thought.
As I had heard nothing from IG I emailed them last week to find out when the transfer is going to take place and the reply I received was that IG Europe do not do spread betting and so no transfer will be taking place. I could apply direct to IG Europe to open a CFD a/c. That's it.
I asked the person to recheck their reply and another person emailed back a week later to say almost exactly the same thing - almost word for word. IG Europe do not do spread betting.
I had pointed out the process I had completed at IG's invitation and the fact that I knew some Irish residents had already transferred their spread bet a/cs to IG Europe ............. all points were completely ignored. IG Europe do not offer spread betting a/c to anyone.
Any insights u have on your experience would be appreciated.
Thanks
