IG has been voted Best Trading Platform 2026 at the Good Money Guide Trading Awards, with traders praising its market coverage, platform reliability and professional-grade tools.
The Good Money Guide Awards combine verified customer feedback with expert analysis to identify the providers delivering the best overall experience for traders and investors.
All customer votes can be viewed on IG’s review page.
IG secured the award thanks to consistently strong feedback across several key areas, particularly its breadth of markets, platform technology and educational content.
One of the biggest themes from customer reviews was the sheer range of products available. Traders highlighted IG’s ability to provide access to thousands of global markets across spread betting, CFDs, shares and more, all within a single platform.
As one user explained:
“They have everything you could want and more.”
Platform quality was another standout feature. Customers repeatedly described the desktop and mobile experience as clean, reliable and professional, with strong charting tools, real-time pricing and fast execution. Many also praised the ability to manage investing and trading accounts together in one place.
One reviewer said:
“IG have made it easy for me to manage my whole portfolio, including trading, all from one place.”
Reliability and execution were also frequently mentioned, particularly during fast-moving markets. Traders highlighted tight spreads, strong liquidity and confidence that trades would execute when needed.
Educational content and market insight were another reason IG resonated strongly with users. Several reviews referenced IG’s videos, analysis and trading education, helping both newer and experienced traders stay informed about markets and improve their trading skills.
One customer described IG as:
“A powerful, all-in-one platform to access and trade a wide range of markets with speed, flexibility, and control.”
Another summed it up simply:
“The platform is reliable, easy to use, and offers a wide range of assets.”
With professional-grade tools, broad market access and a reputation built over decades in the industry, IG continues to be one of the leading destinations for active traders in the UK.
