IG has 10 licences on record with Wikilix, issued by 9 authorities across 9 jurisdictions. 8 of them were issued by tier-1 or tier-2 authorities — the regimes with the strictest capital, reporting and client-money rules. We located 1 of 10 on the issuing authority’s own register.

3 licences come from authorities classed as offshore. An offshore regime can be a legitimate registration, but it typically carries lower capital requirements and no compensation scheme.
