    @GeordiePhilUK Provide a new option great - default for all customers awful 😑! Part of the #IGG @IGcom push to alienate customers.

    @TheMoneySponge @IGcom Any support on where to switch ? Such a shame it was the best platform for me

    @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

    @djp4976 @IGcom @LondonSouthEast I get live trade quotes with IG, only have an isa but there’s no alteration to the service from my experience! Never had RSP or L2

    Mark Newton (@Mark_Newton1) reported

    @djp4976 @IGcom There customer service is zero, call centre staff giving out wrong information. Philippines and Eastern Europe call centres useless. Their IT infrastructure is 3rd world & needs upgrading, but they spend 000's millions on new acquisitions to the detriment of the platform.

    @IGcom @financialombuds I am also still pending a reply to this issue from last week, they have gone beyond 1 business day.

    @IGcom Well, not that you'll be able to trade them because IG's customer support is always unavailable.

    Not able to log in to mobile or desktop apps. Have the grace to at least post a message about this issue. I am getting so pissed off with IG and their support. You are destroying what was a great platform. Its a disgrace. @IGClientHelp @IGTradingFloor @IGcom

    @IGClientHelp hi IG. There appears to be an issue with the mobile iPhone app. When I log in I get a message “session timed out. Please login again” and the app then goes to log in screen.

    @LordBadshot @Smudgedann @IGcom I use them, and must be out of the loop as I’m not aware of anything. What’s the problem, and should I be concerned?

  • avinashkaware01
    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.

  • dv8or1
    DV8OR (@dv8or1) reported

    @IGcom what has happened to your customer service?? I have been trying to connect with someone via WhatsApp, phone and email and haven’t got a response…!!! This is becoming unacceptable and is enough to make me reconsider my account.

  • emeka89
    Emeka N (@emeka89) reported

    @IGcom I’ve been on hold for almost 2 hours. Is your customer service phone line open today or not? On google it says 24/7 today, on the app it says it is outside normal working hours Please clarify

  • stuppytrader
    STUPPYTRADER (@stuppytrader) reported

    @IGClientHelp I’ve been trying since 6 Aug to get answers on MT5 position limits and split-order pricing. I was referred to Customer Experience, but have had no substantive response; today’s WhatsApp query has sat unread since 07:25. Can someone please pick this up?

    If it ain’t bad enough having @IGcom take away live quotes without warning, we now have @LondonSouthEast displaying no trades

  • inthe_flowers
    🅰️ndrew Brahms (@inthe_flowers) reported

    @CasinoCapital @IGClientHelp @Trading212 Only issue I have is some tiny float stocks in the UK are really difficult to execute on T212 compared to IG - i.e. I have put a limit buy for the same price on both platforms, IG executed a lot quicker than T212. Maybe the lesson is to avoid illiquid garbage stock

  • frankzondervan2

    @IGcom can I now only set buy and sell limits to trade? I thought @ii_couk were bad, but this isn't great

    @IGcom Basically a non existent client support, you better give back the losses we’re forced to take due to your technical error!!

What to do if IG is not working

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
