Risk Warning:
Your investments and any income from CFDs can go down as well as up. You can quickly lose more than your initial deposit. Please make sure you understand the risks. CFDs may not be suitable for everyone.
Halifax CFD account
With a CFD Account you need to fund the account up front before you trade. The total amount that you deposit will determine the total amount you can trade. However if your trade moves against you, you’d need to make additional payments to cover your losses.
You are able to bet on UK, US, and European Equities, Indices, Sectors, Currencies and Precious Metals, and all trades made are free from UK Stamp Duty*.
Remember it is possible to lose more than you deposit so only trade with money you can afford to lose. You might also consider limiting your losses by using an optional Guaranteed Stop Loss, which are available for an additional fee on the most popular markets.
See the Market Information Sheets for more details.
*Please note that tax laws may change.
