Opening a CFD trading account
I'm new to CFDs, where do I start?
You can apply online in just a few minutes using our automated form, or download and print a PDF form if you prefer.
Do I need to send any documents to open an account with IG Markets?
In the vast majority of cases you will not need to send us any supporting documents, providing we can verify your identity electronically. Occasionally we will be unable to confirm your identity online (for example if you have moved house recently), and in such cases we will contact you in order to verify your details.
Can I apply from outside Australia?
We can open an Australian account for people from most countries, but it may be more convenient for you to deal with an office closer to home. We are also located in the United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, USA, Germany, France, Spain and Singapore. Alternatively, you can find your local IG office.
