withdraw from their accounts. IG recommends Apple Pay, noting its instant
transactions and high authorization rates for a seamless experience.

FCA, we have updated our payment methods. We recommend Apple Pay for its
instant transactions and high authorization rates.”
Users with questions about this change are encouraged to
contact IG directly.
