You can contact City Index via:
- phone
- live chat
Phone support is great. We connected with an agent instantly and received relevant answers.
If you prefer using live chat, click 'Chat'. It opens a chatbot, which can answer only some basic questions, like "How can I deposit?". It's a bit more tricky if you want to talk to a real person. You have to type 'agent', after which the chatbot offers to connect you with a sales or support agent.
We received relevant but slow answers via email. On some occasions, it took as much as 6 days to get an answer, or even more during the summer holiday season.
City Index's customer service is not fully 24/7, but is available 24/5 from 5 p.m. Sunday to 5 p.m. Friday EST.
