-
jm (@Helix1985) reported@IGInternational @IGcom @IGClientHelp Your website is down and I’m unable to trade at the most important time. This is ridiculous.
-
11invest (@11invest) reported@IGClientHelp what on earth is going on with your website and app both going down just before market open?? How are we meant to manage and close positions!?
-
MB (@MBdaytrading) reported@GODOFFI @IGcom Actually really like the platform , but yes the issues are really frustrating
-
dismantle_ (@JJJorange) reported@IGClientHelp So next steps is complaints to see if we can conclude an understanding. There is no point displaying a closed positon to a customer and then arbitrarily reconciling to another point in time.
-
Noah Silverman, PhD (@noah_phd) reported@IGClientHelp Your AI Bot chat is worthless, and consistently gives incorrect information. Some of your API documentation is out-of-date, and it seems impossible to speak to an actual human on a phone call. How are we supposed to get any support?
-
Julian (@InvestingJulian) reported@IGcom what is going on? Still can’t login over an hour later, no status update or anything
-
Barefooted Rascal (@bushy1113) reported@IGcom This is all very lovely but your platform shutting down just before the market open on such an important day is totally unacceptable
-
smudgedan (@Smudgedann) reported@ThomasTitmouse @djp4976 @IGcom Reckon some sort of solution will be found and then all those that sold will be mightily pissed
-
Dougparkspropertynest (@network_surrey) reported@IGcom any reason i keep getting ‘log in error please try later’ when trying to log in through your app ??
-
Andy Smith (@andyajsmith1) reported@TheMoneySponge @IGcom App down too
-
forex 🚜🧑🏻🌾🇬🇧 (@1forextrader1) reported@IGcom Ig down again!!!!!
-
Andrewdc208 (@andrewdc208) reported@IGClientHelp did ur system just go down?
-
Darren Neary (@neary_darren) reported@TheMoneySponge @IGcom Any support on where to switch ? Such a shame it was the best platform for me
-
D.B.A. Galbraith (@DeeBeeEyyGee) reported@CasinoCapital @IGClientHelp @Trading212 I looked into this recently. According to CoPilot, you can trade options in an IBKR SIPP if you go through a SIPP admin such as Westerby Trustee Services or atsipp. Assuming CoPilot is correct, I might go down this route
-
Tim Spanoudakis (@spanout) reported@IGClientHelp would rather do this by phone but there is no number to call... My app and browser access to the platform gives and error page and clicking the status page also gives an error... Software update over the weekend??
-
💰 𝑺𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆 💰 (@TheMoneySponge) reported@IGcom have made bucket loads from me over the last 10 years - if they turn off live quotes and L2 then they’ll lose another 10+ years of business Not to mention their recent behaviour around Aquis and customer service is shocking
-
Tortoise investor (@InvestTortoise) reported.@IGcom has been down for at least an hour but no acknowledgement from the company on their website or social media channels. V poor. @breoncorcoran
-
JJ (@investing256) reported@IGcom I've just heard IG are withdrawing the RSP service from your stockbroking accounts. Is this true ? If so, why have you not given customers several months notice so we have time to move accounts elsewhere ?
-
Wally ****** (@Wally_Was_Here) reported@IGcom Damn bro, how do we get into the action
-
Amynah (@Amynah_Aziz) reported@IGcom I have been struggling since friday to create a live account (7x), response from IG all 7x, "sorry we are having technical issues". I sent an email twice to accountopening but no reply as yet. Can someone help please?
-
ShareSpeccy (@ShareSpeculator) reported@baz_trading @IGcom Hmm, yeah. Just read it. Sounds awful. Sounds like it’s going to be the same as Trading212. I’ll see what it’s like but if so, I’ll transfer my ISA and the others I manage elsewhere. Shame.
-
AK (@avinashkaware01) reported@IGClientHelp Extreme platform outage today. I was locked out of my account from 14:30 to 16:30 despite repeated login attempts. This system failure directly prevented me from closing my Daily US Tech 100 Call at DH152.1£, resulting in a great loss. IG should compensate for that.
-
Tanja Bergermeier (@HPschorr) reported@IGcom Update on Login issues pls !!!!!
-
Paul S (@Paul_S1979) reported@IGcom shocking customer service today. Executed an order way off market and now been trying to get through to someone for over an hour. Seriously considering moving my business if this is the norm.
-
Amynah (@Amynah_Aziz) reported@IGcom Client Services help desk referred the matter to backend team to investigate & resolve, still awaiting. I may be a very small fish but am a potential customer; very disappointed with your service.
-
dismantle_ (@JJJorange) reported@IGcom @financialombuds I am also still pending a reply to this issue from last week, they have gone beyond 1 business day.
-
interactive investor (ii) (@ii_couk) reported@frankzondervan2 @IGcom Sorry to hear that you are having issues. If you would like us to look into what is going wrong please contact us via secure message or call us on 0345 607 6001 and we can assist over the phone.
-
GOD OF NOTHING (@GODOFFI) reported@MBdaytrading @IGcom They always have problems !! Why do you even use them? I stopped using them in 2023 as they couldn't even issue a simple P&L statement despite explaining to their so called accounts how it's done 🙈
-
gold rutile 🌄 (@rutile369) reported@IGcom cannot log in - give us more info about the problem
-
Joel Deakin (@JMHDeakin) reported@GeordiePhilUK Provide a new option great - default for all customers awful 😑! Part of the #IGG @IGcom push to alienate customers.

How to interpret these reports
Direct reports are submitted by visitors. Locations may be estimated from their connection or supplied by the reporter. A low local count does not establish that service is working; the service-wide status and local report totals describe different areas. How our outage detection works
