Customer Support

I have a query about crypto – who can help?

Crypto accounts at IG Markets Singapore are managed by Independent Reserve. For any crypto-related queries, you'll need to contact Independent Reserve directly.

There are two ways to do this from within the app:

  • Account page: Go to your Account > scroll to Support > tap Contact IR

  • Help & FAQs: Go to Help & FAQs > Crypto (Independent Reserve) > open a relevant article > tap Get IR Support

Both options are only visible if you have an active crypto account.

Q1. How do I contact Independent Reserve support?

Crypto accounts at IG Markets Singapore are managed by Independent Reserve, who have their own dedicated support team. As your crypto account, trades, and account data are held entirely within Independent Reserve's platform, our IG Markets team is unable to view or access any of this information on your behalf. For any crypto-related queries, you will need to reach out to Independent Reserve directly.

You can do this from within the app in two ways:

  • Account page: Go to Account > scroll to Support > tap Contact IR

  • Help & FAQs: Go to Help & FAQs > Crypto (Independent Reserve) > open a relevant article > tap Get IR Support

  • From inside the Independent Reserve web app: Tap the hamburger menu to open the side panel > Tap Support > Select Submit a request

All options are only visible if you have an active crypto account.


Q2. Is there a Help Centre for self-service support?

Yes. Independent Reserve maintains a detailed Help Centre at https://www.independentreserve.com/sg/help, covering account setup, deposits, withdrawals, the Travel Rule, trading, and security.


Q3. Is my money safe if something happens to Independent Reserve?

Independent Reserve segregates all client assets (fiat and crypto) from its own operational funds and funds are held at some of the major Tier 1 banks. As a MAS-licensed Major Payment Institution, Independent Reserve is subject to ongoing regulatory oversight, liquidity requirements, and regular reporting to MAS.


Q4. How do I sign up for an account?

To sign up for an account, head to the Home tab and tap on "Crypto by Independent Reserve". From there, you'll need to complete a Risk Awareness quiz to finish setting up your account.


Q5. What happens to my crypto account if I close my IG Markets account?

When closing your IG Markets account, you will have the option to close your Independent Reserve crypto account at the same time. If you would prefer to keep your crypto account open, you can do so and continue to access it directly through the Independent Reserve app or website independently.

Please note that once your IG Markets account is closed, you will no longer be able to access your Independent Reserve account through the IG Markets app.


Q6. Why can't I transfer funds between my CFD/Shares account and my Crypto account?

Your CFD/Shares account and your Crypto account operate on separate payment rails. As the two accounts run on different banking and settlement infrastructure, direct fund transfers between them are not possible. To fund your Crypto account, you will need to deposit separately via PayNow or FAST transfer directly into your Independent Reserve account.


Q7. Can I access my Crypto account directly through the Independent Reserve app?

Yes. You can log in directly to the Independent Reserve app, but you will first need to retrieve your username and set a password through the IG Markets app.

Follow these steps:

  • Open the IG Markets app and tap the three bars (menu icon) in the top right corner.

  • Go to Settings.

  • Select the Security tab.

  • Tap Password and set a password for your account.

  • Once your password is set, you can log in directly to the Independent Reserve app using your credentials.


Q8. How do I manage issues relating to my Crypto funds or trading?

For any issues relating to your Crypto account – including deposits, withdrawals, trades, account balances, or transaction history – you will need to raise a ticket directly with Independent Reserve.

This is because your Crypto account is powered and managed entirely by Independent Reserve, an MAS-licensed cryptocurrency exchange. All your crypto holdings, trading activity, and account data sit within Independent Reserve's platform. As IG Markets does not have visibility into your Independent Reserve account, we are unable to investigate or resolve crypto-related issues on your behalf.

To raise a ticket with Independent Reserve, you can do so directly from within the app:

  • Account page: Go to Account > scroll to Support > tap Contact IR

  • Help & FAQs: Go to Help & FAQs > Crypto (Independent Reserve) > open a relevant article > tap Get IR Support

  • From inside the Independent Reserve web app: Tap the hamburger menu to open the side panel > Tap Support > Select Submit a request

All options are only visible if you have an active crypto account.

Independent Reserve's support team will be best placed to assist you with any of the following:

  • Deposits and withdrawals not reflecting in your account

  • Trade execution queries or discrepancies

  • Account verification or KYC issues

  • Transaction history and reporting

  • Travel Rule compliance requests

  • Any other account or platform-related concerns
