IG is offering new clients a bonus share worth up to £100 when they open a general investment account, ISA or SIPP before 30th August.
IG has earned recognition as the 2024 Best Share Dealing Platform by Yourmoney.co.uk, alongside being named Best for Low-cost ISA by the Boring Money Best Buy Awards. IG has over 2 million accounts worldwide across 18 countries.
The FTSE 250 company is now offering new clients up to £100 to join them through a bonus share that will be added to your account.
One of the most compelling reasons to open an IG investment account is the elimination of commission fees on shares and ETFs.
Traditional brokers often charge substantial fees that can significantly impact your returns, particularly for smaller investments or frequent trading.
With commission-free investing on over 11,000 stocks and ETFs, every penny of your investment works for you rather than disappearing into fees.
IG offers three distinct account types, each designed for different investment goals and tax situations:
General Investment Account (GIA) provides complete flexibility with no contribution limits, making it ideal for those who’ve already maximised their ISA allowances or prefer unrestricted access to their investments.
Individual Savings Account (ISA) allows you to invest up to £20,000 annually tax-free, with the additional benefit of flexible withdrawals that don’t forfeit your allowance – a feature not available with all ISA providers.
Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) offers a tax-efficient way to build your retirement fund whilst maintaining control over your investment choices.
Whilst building your investment portfolio, your uninvested cash doesn’t sit idle. IG offers 4.25% AER variable interest on your cash balance up to £100,000 per client, providing better returns than most traditional savings accounts whilst maintaining easy access to your money. This feature ensures your money works for you even when you’re not actively investing.
If you’re currently with another provider, transferring your existing investments is straightforward and free. The online transfer process for share dealing, ISA, or SIPP accounts can be completed in just a few clicks, removing barriers to switching to a better service.
IG’s Welcome Bonus Shares Promotion runs to August 15, 2025. To be eligible, you must be a UK resident aged 18 or over and make your first trade worth at least £20 in a GIA, ISA, or SIPP account during the promotional period. You must then hold this initial investment until August 31, 2025.
