Can I withdraw during the 30-day holding period as long as I maintain the minimum deposit requirement?

Yes, however, a Net Deposit of at least $1,000 must be maintained at all times for 30 consecutive days from the date of deposit (the "Holding Period"). For the avoidance of doubt, any Withdrawal or Funds Transfer across accounts on IG Markets that would cause the Net Deposit in the Shares account to fall below $1,000 is not permitted during the holding period.

Can I transfer funds from other IG Markets accounts (CFD or Share Trading accounts) to fulfil the deposit requirement?

No, funds transferred from another account on IG Markets into the share trading account will not be treated as a qualifying deposit for the purpose of meeting the minimum Net Deposit requirement.

What is the definition of "Net Deposit"?

"Net Deposit" means the total amount of cash deposited into your Account less the total amount of cash withdrawn from your Account, calculated on a cumulative basis from the date of the Qualifying Deposit. For the avoidance of doubt, Net Deposit does not include any trading gains, losses, fees, or bonuses credited to your Account.

I already have an IG Trading CFD account — am I eligible?

Yes. Existing IG Trading CFD clients who have not previously opened an IG Markets share trading account are eligible for this promotion, provided all other conditions are met.

What is the deadline for making my qualifying deposit?

To receive the S$108 bonus, you must make your qualifying deposit of S$1,000 and complete at least 3 qualifying buy trades within 30 days of account activation. To receive the full S$168 bonus, both the qualifying deposit and qualifying trades must be completed within 14 days of account activation.

Can I invest my S$1,000 deposit straight away, or does it need to stay as cash?

You can invest your deposit immediately. The 30-day holding period is based on your Net Deposit (total deposits minus total withdrawals) remaining at or above S$1,000 — it is not affected by the market value of your investments.

I deposited more than S$1,000 — can I withdraw the excess during the holding period?

Yes. Withdrawals are permitted during the holding period as long as your Net Deposit does not fall below S$1,000.

What deposit methods are accepted?

All standard deposit methods are accepted, including bank transfer, PayNow, and debit card. Please note that credit card charges are not considered a withdrawal for the purposes of the Net Deposit calculation.

Is there a minimum trade size, and do fractional shares qualify?

There is no minimum trade value. Any share or ETF transaction qualifies, including US fractional shares from as low as S$1.

Are there any restrictions on withdrawing or using the bonus once it's credited?

No. Once the welcome bonus has been credited to your share trading account, there are no restrictions on withdrawing or using it.

Are the 14-day and 30-day requirements based on calendar days or trading days?

They are based on calendar days.

Is the 30-day holding period based on calendar days or trading days?

It is based on calendar days.

Can I transfer my deposit between different IG Markets accounts?

The minimum Net Deposit of S$1,000 must remain in your IG Markets share trading account. Funds held in or transferred to other IG Markets accounts will not count towards this requirement.

Are credit card fees considered a withdrawal?

No. Credit card fees are not considered a withdrawal. For example, if you deposit S$1,000 and are charged a S$20 card fee, you will still meet the minimum deposit requirement even though S$980 is credited to your account.

How much is the credit card fee?

A 2% fee applies to all credit card deposits.

Is this promotion the same as the S$158 CFD Welcome Bonus promotion that IG Markets is also running?

No. These are separate promotions. The S$168 Welcome Bonus promotion is for the IG Markets share trading account. If you are interested in the S$158 CFD Welcome Bonus promotion, please refer to its Terms and Conditions.

Do I have to trade in a specific market to qualify for this promotion?

No. You may make buy trades in any of the available markets, including the US, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia. Please note that sell trades do not count towards this promotion — all qualifying trades must be buy trades.

Can I participate in both the S$158 IG Markets CFD Welcome Bonus promotion and the S$168 IG Markets Share Trading Welcome Bonus Promotion?

Yes. These are separate promotions, and you may participate in both. Please note that each promotion has its own Terms and Conditions:
