Yes. IG operates IG US LLC, regulated by the CFTC and a member of the NFA. This entity offers forex trading to US clients, one of the few global brokers legally able to do so. CFDs are prohibited in the US, so IG’s American clients are limited to forex pairs. Still, IG provides a robust platform with competitive spreads and strong educational resources for US traders. This legal presence contrasts sharply with offshore brokers illegally soliciting US clients. By complying with local regulations, IG ensures fund safety and dispute resolution under American law. For US traders seeking a globally recognized broker, IG is considered a credible choice alongside OANDA and Forex.com.
