About IG

IG has been at the centre of retail trading and investment since 1974, when we helped create the market for financial spread betting. Today, we're a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 700,000 clients and handling billions in transactions, built on decades of scale, trust and proof.

We didn’t pivot to innovation; it’s how we’ve always operated. What that means for the people who work here is real: genuinely complex problems to solve, the technology and resources to tackle them properly, and the kind of scope that’s rare in established businesses. The bar is high. Bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we’ll give you the platform to define what comes next.
