What should I know about fund transfers?

1. How long do I need to wait after selling shares?

If you have recently sold shares in your Share Dealing or ISA account and want to transfer the resulting proceeds to another IG account, you will need to wait for the settlement period to complete.

Share Type Settlement Period Example
US Shares T+1 (1 working day) Sell on Monday → Available Tuesday
All Other Shares T+2 (2 working days) Sell on Monday → Available Wednesday

After the settlement period, the transferable funds will be visible in the 'Available balances' section.

2. Can I trade while waiting for settlement?

During the settlement period, the value will appear as credit in the same account, which you can use to place new trades if you wish. 


3. Is there a minimum or maximum amount I can transfer?

The minimum amount you can transfer between accounts is £100 (or equivalent in other currencies). There is no maximum limit for transfers between your own IG accounts.
