To date I have had nothing but good experiences with City Index, my dealings have been with Charles Carpenter and he has been great on any queries I have had. Would certainly recommend.

Can't even login to the web platform

Can't even login to the web platform. Useless. Like may other websites, CI have made the mistake of used cloudflare human verification and like many other websites, this has rendered them useless because CLOUDFLARE DOES NOT WORK... can't even login. CI.. if you are reading this... GET RID OF CLOUDFLARE... do you not even test these things?

Recovering funding transaction

I received excellent support from Vincent in recovering the funding. With his quick SOP action to expedite my case by reaching out to me via email, I managed to provide the screenshot to show my proof of transaction through his email. Thank you very much.

Unreliable Service and Poor Customer Support

I have been using City Index for the past two years, and unfortunately, my experience with their funding process has been extremely disappointing. Out of three attempts to deposit funds into my account, two have resulted in issues, giving me just a 33.3% success rate. This is unacceptable for a financial platform.

Most recently, after submitting all required documents for a simple deposit, I was repeatedly told that my issue would be resolved "soon." However, after multiple chat conversations and a phone call with a support representative named Martin, I was still left without a clear answer. I was told to "wait until tomorrow," and now, even after following up via email, I have been completely ignored.

What makes this even more frustrating is that just a week before, I successfully funded my account using the same debit card from the same country. Yet now, I am facing unexplained issues with no proper communication or resolution from City Index.

A trading platform should ensure smooth and efficient transactions, but City Index fails in this regard. If you are looking for reliability and competent customer service, I strongly advise considering other options.

Updated Review – Issue Resolved, But Service Needs Improvement

I previously posted a negative review regarding my deposit issues with City Index. I want to acknowledge that the funds have now been successfully credited to my account. However, my concerns remain regarding the overall communication and efficiency of the support team.

The resolution only happened after multiple attempts to get answers, including chats, phone calls, and emails. The lack of proactive updates made the situation more frustrating than it needed to be. While I appreciate that City Index ultimately resolved the issue, I believe their customer service and transparency need significant improvement.

If you're considering this platform, be prepared for possible delays and ensure you follow up persistently if issues arise.

Thank you for your review. We apologize that your experience with City Index has not met your expectations. We strive to provide exceptional support to our customers, and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short in your case. We will review this issue with our team and take steps to improve our communication and support. We are glad we were able to resolve your issue at this time.
While we strive to make our deposit process as seamless as possible, we must balance this with our duty as a regulated firm to verify details under the “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) guidelines set forth by our regulator. We are required to request this information going forward to show that you are the sole owner of the bank account being used to fund your trading account.

Fund transfer

I contacted the helpdesk to update my fund transfer, and I was impressed by the fast response. Within just an hour, the funds were successfully in my account. Great support and quick resolution!"

Kseniia provided a 5-star customer support experience. She was professional, efficient, and resolved my issue with logging into my live account quickly. She also provided clear instructions on how to remove accounts from my profile. I'm very satisfied with the service and would recommend City Index to others.

Terribly inconsistent

Terribly inconsistent. Sometimes — like now— I'm just not able to login and there are two issues with this.

On one level, I worry that when this next happens I may miss something critical.

Secondly I fear that this is a cynical restriction by city index to stop ordinary traders from taking advantage of an opportunity.

Both I feel are a big reason not to use City index.

Total disgrace

Total disgrace. City Index takes deposits without clearly stating that they only ‘accept’ deposits from a “traditional bank account”. You are only informed of this after a deposit is made. Then you are asked to provide evidence that you’ve made this same deposit from your current account in order for them to deposit it back. (Unreal). Their support teams are on autopilot. One guy named Toby tells me they only deal with traditional banks and do not deal with anything related to fintech. Spread betting shop? Annoyingly, they ignore you throughout this process. Not impressed in the least.

CI NT integration

The response was quick, analytical and pointed me to the right steps to take to finalise a solution. The problem related to CI integration to NT. The solution was beyond the scope of the support person but they quickly understood the issue and gave me the next steps to progress the solution forward towards finalisation
