IG Bank S.A.

IG Bank S.A. is a Swiss subsidiary of IG Group Holdings plc (LSE: IGG), established in 2014 and authorized by FINMA as a bank and securities firm, with operations focused on leveraged derivatives rather than traditional retail banking. The firm offers access to over-the-counter instruments including contracts for difference and rolling spot foreign exchange across asset classes such as indices, FX, shares, and commodities, with product availability subject to client residency and local rules. Trading is provided through IG’s proprietary web and mobile platforms, with support for MetaTrader 4, advanced charting, and API connectivity for eligible clients; direct market access is available for certain products and client types. IG generally acts as principal to client trades, and execution, conflicts-of-interest, and order-handling practices are set out in its order execution policy and client terms. Pricing consists of spreads and, where applicable, commissions, overnight financing, currency conversion and market data fees, with additional non-trading charges disclosed in the fee schedule. Accounts are opened under Swiss know-your-customer and appropriateness rules; client cash balances at the bank are subject to Swiss deposit protection for eligible deposits up to CHF 100,000 per client via esisuisse, while open derivative positions and market losses are not covered and can exceed initial margin. Funding and withdrawals typically occur via bank transfer and supported cards, and reporting includes account statements and regulatory disclosures.
