What is the 0% FX markup waiver promotion?

When you buy non-SGD stocks, your SGD is converted to the foreign currency (e.g. USD). Normally, IG Markets adds a markup — called an FX markup — on top of the rate provided by our third-party liquidity providers. That’s the additional cost to you.

During this promotion (22 June – 31 August 2026), IG waives that markup entirely — so you get the liquidity provider rate with no additional spread on top. The benefit is applied automatically.


What is the promotion period for the 0% FX markup waiver promotion?

The promotion runs from 22 June to 31 August 2026.


Which accounts and trades are eligible for the 0% FX markup waiver promotion?

The FX markup waiver applies to all non-Singapore-listed stocks and ETFs on your IG Markets share trading account — including shares, ETFs, and mutual funds not denominated in SGD. This covers markets such as the US, UK, Japan, and Hong Kong.

Please note: CFD accounts and all other IG account types do not qualify.


Do I need to register or opt in to the 0% FX markup waiver promotion?

No. Once your IG Markets share trading account is open and verified, the FX markup waiver is applied automatically on every qualifying trade during the promotion period. Nothing extra to do.


Is there still a cost to FX conversion during the 0% FX markup waiver promotion?

Yes. FX (foreign exchange) has no centralised exchange and every provider may provide slightly different rates depending on the rate procured from individual liquidity providers. The underlying foreign exchange rate from our third-party liquidity providers may vary with prevailing market conditions.

During this promotional period, you may enjoy up to 90% better FX rate compared to before. You can always see the exact applicable rate on the platform before confirming your trade.

The FX markup waiver applies to IG’s spread on FX conversion for non-SGD share trades only. All other applicable fees continue to apply.
