Try logging in using another browser

Sometimes clients have browser-specific issues. You should try logging in using another well-known browser (such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox) to see if the issue still persists.

Ensure you have correctly selected the live or demo option

You may have inadvertently selected the wrong option before selecting login.

Confirm you are using the correct product URL: 

If unsure, visit www.cmcmarkets.co.uk and select 'login' for the correct product: CFD or spread betting.

Confirm that the password and username are entered correctly

If you receive the following message: 'Your account login has failed...' it means that the email address entered has not been recognised by the system. Ensure that it has been entered correctly with no additional characters.

If you receive a message stating: 'The login details you have entered do not match our records' it means that the password does not match the registered email address for your account. Re-check the password entered and if the issue still persists consider resetting your password via the 'Forgotten password?' link on the log in page.
