3-Step Official Register Verification Playbook

How to independently verify IG's supervisory standing before wiring funds.

Take each licence number listed for IG and query it directly on the issuing authority's official public register (and via our /verify/license/ oracle) to confirm active standing.

STEP 02 • ENTITY CONTRACT

Audit Onboarding Subsidiary
