IGC Markets | Help Centre

What’s the minimum amount required to start my trading account?

View your first deposit as your initial investment. The bigger your investment, the bigger the potential returns could be.

So, even though we do recommend that the minimum deposit be $250 (or the same amount in another currency), we definitely recommend that you try to invest at least $2,500+. This will put you in a much better position when it comes to trading the markets.

The leverage and bonuses we offer also greatly assist your trades, but it all starts with your first investment.

If you want more information, feel free to speak with your personal Account Manager. They will demonstrate how larger initial investments can reap bigger rewards.

Do you extend any bonuses on deposits?

We do offer our 100% Deposit Bonus, but there are some criteria you’ll need to pass in order to qualify. Feel free to read through our Bonus T&C, and speak with your Account Manager for more information.

What are the odds of losing more than the opening deposit?

The risks of losing an amount that surpasses your initial deposit are zero. However, when it comes to trading, your investment can go up as well as down. It’s really important that you understand the risks involved. For more information on how to create a great risk management strategy, talk with your Account Manager.

How many deposit options do you offer?

We accept all the major credit and debit cards, such as Maestro, Mastercard & Visa. We also accept bank transfers and several other deposit options to choose from. Our Support Team can help you know more, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with them.

What additional charges can I expect when trading with IGC?

At IGC, we maintain transparency with our clients. Therefore, our withdrawal policy is listed in detail on our website. In fact, IGC only charges a 5% withdrawal fee which covers the credit or debit card processing cost, while no expenses or commissions apply on bank transfers. Yet, additional charges (including swaps, dormant fees, etc) may apply to your account while trading with IGC.

Why has my Credit or Debit card been declined?

This may occur in case the sum of the deposit is greater than your card’s balance, or if your bank has imposed a block on some specific international or online transactions.

Can my deposit be done through a third-party's account?

Unfortunately, this doesn’t apply at IGC for security and regulatory reasons. Thus, the deposit should be made from an account or card of your own.
