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.

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. Sec... See more

Great customer service.

Having not traded for some time I had put on a trade but when I wanted to close it was feeling really stupid that I had forgotten where I could do so. The young man I spoke to on the phone closed it for me and was very helpful in reminding me where I should go to on the platform to close trades in the future. I am now reassured that I can ask for help if I need it. Thank you.

There was a glitch in the system.

There was a glitch in the system.. it is on-line, these things happen but the kid on the live chat's approach was, all clients are wrong and stupid. Basically he refused to believe it was a glitch yet it was something that was physically impossible to action at my end. Live chat workers must have a really hard job and I think a little unfair to have to work like that however, this kid was unable to connect with me at all. He said, that is your 'opinion' I had to explain, that was not my opinion it was how my account is set up. He also typed things like 'you are not accepting want I am saying' 'it is easy to understand, I could not be any clearer' He was claiming I did something that was physical impossible. Very unpleasant experience.
