IG is registered at Cannon Bridge House 25 Dowgate Hill London EC4R 2YA and tracked under our forex and cfd brokers authorised in europe scope based on its institutional service profile (Cryptocurrencies, CFDs, Indices, Forex, Stocks, Options) rather than a domestic focus licence.

IG carries a "risk level not supplied" classification in the source dataset (composite numeric scores are not supplied for this record). The record flags 0 regulatory warning or complaint counts.
