Please remember that spread betting is a leveraged product and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. It may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.

Privacy

Any details you enter will be encrypted and submitted via our secure server. We will treat all your details in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

In order to open your account we are obliged by our regulator, the Financial Services Authority, to verify your identity. The details you submit will therefore be checked on our behalf by Equifax and/or Experian (this is not a credit check).

If we are unable to verify your identity we will notify you by email together with details of how to complete your application. In either event, we may need to contact you by telephone and/or email.
