- Five points to enrich your IB experience
1. Your Money
Deposits & Withdrawals General Info. All transactions are administered through your secure Account Management
Deposits
First, you create a deposit notification through your Account Management > Funding > Fund Transfers > Transaction Type: “Deposit” How to create a deposit notification. The second step is to instruct your Bank to do the wire transfer with the bank details provided in your Deposit Notification.
Withdrawals
Create a withdrawal instruction via your secure Account Management > Funding > Fund Transfers > Transaction Type: "Withdrawals" How to create a withdrawal instruction
If you instruct a withdrawal over the Withdrawal limits, it will be considered an exceptional withdrawal and we will therefore need to match bank account holder and IB account. If destination bank account has been used for a deposit, withdrawal will be processed; otherwise, you must contact customer service and provide the documents needed.
Troubleshooting
Deposits: My bank sent the money but I do not see it credited into my IB account. Possible reasons:
a) A fund transfer takes 1-4 business days
b) A Deposit Notification is missing. You have to create it via your Account Management and send a ticket to Customer Service
c) Amending details are missing. Your name or IB account number is missing in the transfer details. You have to contact your bank and ask for the full amending details.
d) ACH initiated by IB is limited to 100k USD in a 7 business period. If you opened a Portfolio Margin account where the initial requirement is 110k, a wire deposit might be the better deposit option to reduce wait time for your first trade. If selecting ACH a wait time of almost 2 weeks or a temporary downgrade to RegT can be possible solutions.
Withdrawals: I have requested a withdrawal but I do not see the money credited to my bank account. Possible reasons:
a) A fund transfer takes 1-4 business days
b) Rejected. Over the max it can be withdrawn. Please check your account cash balance. Note that for regulatory requirements, when the funds are deposited, there is a 3 day holding period before they can be withdrawn.
c) Your bank returned the funds. Probably because receiving bank account and remitting bank account names do not match.
2. Configure your account to trade
Difference between Cash and Margin accounts: If you have chosen the FastTrack application, by default your account type is a cash account with US stock permission. If you would like to get leverage and trade on margin, here how to upgrade to a RegT Margin account
Trading Permissions

disclosures required by local regulatory authorities. How to Request Trading Permissions
Market Data
If you want to have market data in real-time for a particular product/exchange, you need to subscribe to a market data package charged by the exchange. How to subscribe to Market data
The Market data assistant will help you choose the right package. Please watch this Video explaining how it works.

4. Trade all over the World
IB accounts are multi-currency accounts. Your account can hold different currencies at the same time, this allows you to trade multiple products around the world from a single account.
Base Currency
Your base currency determines the currency of translation for your statements and the currency used for determining margin requirements. Base currency is determined when you open an account. Customers may change their base currency at any time through Account Management.
We do not automatically convert currencies into your Base currency
Currency conversions must be done manually by the customer. In this video you can learn how to do a currency conversion.
In order to open a position denominated in a currency that you do not have in your account, you have two possibilities:
A) Currency conversion.
B) IB Margin Loan. (Not available for Cash Accounts)
Please see this course explaining the mechanics of a foreign transaction.
5. Five points to enrich your IB experience

3. Account Management
As our trading platforms give you access to the markets, the Account Management grants you access to your IB account. Use Account Management to manage account-related tasks such as depositing or withdrawing funds, viewing your statements, modifying market data and news subscriptions, changing your trading permissions, and verifying or changing your personal information.

4. Secure Login System
To provide you with the highest level of online security, Interactive Brokers has implemented a Secure Login System (SLS) through which access to your account is subject to two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication serves to confirm your identity at the point of login using two security factors: 1) Something you know (your username and password combination); and 2) Something you have (an IB issued security device which generates a random, single-use security code). As both knowledge of your username/password and physical possession of the security device are required to login to your account, participation in the Secure Login System virtually eliminates the possibility of anyone other than you accessing your account.

In case you forgot your password or lost your security code card, please call us for immediate assistance.
5. Statements and Reports
Easy to view and customize, our statements and reports cover all aspects of your Interactive Brokers account. How to view an Activity Statement
Vulnerabilidad en SSL ("Heartbleed Bug") - Preguntas Frecuentes
CUÁL ES EL PROBLEMA? QUÉ ES «HEARTBLEED»?
Una vulnerabilidad en la implementación del código abierto de los protocolos SSL y TLS permite a una persona no autorizada leer las contraseñas y llaves de encripción en la memoria del servidor.
QUÉ ES SSL?
Es un protocolo que sirve para instruir máquinas en cómo encriptar y decriptar intercambios da datos entre redes.
HA AFECTADO «HEARTBLEED» a IB?
No se espera ningún impacto.
Los pocos servidores de IB que usaban la versión afectada de OpenSSL han sido actualizados y corregidos tan pronto como la vulnerabilidad fue detectada y el parche distribuido.
PROTEGE MEJOR EL SLS EN ESTA SITUACIÓN O SIMILARES?
El sistema de ingreso seguro (SLS) añade una protección extra al acceso con sus credenciales (usuario y contraseña). El usuario y la contraseña no son la única línea de defensa contra accesos no autorizados.
Usando su SLS al acceder le asegura que es usted la única persona que puede acceder a la cuenta.
DEBO CAMBIAR MI CONTRASEÑA?
Al haber tomado IB todas las medidas de seguridad, no es necesario, su contraseña no ha sido afectada por esta vulnerabilidad.
Aunque cambiar la contraseña regularmente es una buena medida de seguridad, no tiene que hacerlo ahora a causa de lo informado sobre «Heartbleed».
Cómo devolver el dispositivo de seguridad a Interactive Brokers ?
En el caso que necesite devolver el dispositivo de seguridad a Interactive Brokers (debido a que ha sufrido daños, malfuncionamiento, consolidación de la cuenta o para cerrarla), siga por favor las siguientes instrucciones:
- Descargue e imprima el Secure Login Device Return Form.
- Rellene el formulario e inclúyalo en un paquete junto al dispositivo.
- Envíe por correo postal el paquete a la dirección de correo correspondiente que encontrará más abajo.
Para su protección, recomendamos encarecidamente usar un sobre acolchado, y una mensajería que utilice números de seguimiento (ej. UPS, FedEx, DHL, o USPS Express Mail) ya que usted será el responsable del dispositivo de seguridad hasta su devolución. Por favor calcule 3 días desde el envío para que se vea reflejado en su cuenta la recepción del dispositivo por parte de IB. El tiempo de entrega puede variar debido a retrasos del mensajero.
Pasos adicionales en caso de una devolución para reemplazo
Si se devuelve para reemplazarlo y no para cerrar la cuenta, por favor llame al departamento de soporte de seguridad en el 1-203-618-4006 o 00800-42-276537 (gratuito desde España) para notificar el dispositivo defectuoso y le daremos un código de seguridad temporal que le permita seguir accediendo a su cuenta hasta que reciba el nuevo dispositivo de seguridad. IB ofrece diferentes dispositivos de seguridad, estas son las consideraciones a tener en cuenta de cada uno de ellos para su reemplazo:
Para Usuarios Platinum:
Si quiere devolver un dispositivo Platinum (figura 1) y necesita reemplazarlo, tiene que acceder al Menú de Gestión de Cuenta para solicitar uno nuevo. Esto es necesario debido a la seguridad de este dispositivo. Puede solicitar un nuevo dispositivo sólo una vez que IB tenga constancia de la recepción del anterior dispositivo ya que sólo se puede asociar uno a su cuenta. Una vez solicitado, asegúrese de imprimir la página que contiene su número PIN y la frase de seguridad que necesitará para activar su nuevo dispositivo.
Figura 1
Para Usuarios Alpine:
Si quiere devolver un dispositivo Alpine (Figura 2) IB lo reemplazará por una tarjeta de seguridad digital como la que se muestra más abajo. Los dispositivos Alpine están siendo retirados y no están ya disponibles.
Figura 2

Para Usuarios de la Tarjeta de Seguridad Digital (DSC) :
Si quiere devolver una tarjeta de seguridad digital, necesita acceder al Menú de Gestión de Cuenta y solicitar una nueva tarjeta. Esto es necesario dada la existencia de un PIN para esta tarjeta. Por favor recuerde su PIN ya que lo necesitará para su activación.
Para usuarios de Tarjeta de Códigos de Seguridad:
Este tipo de tarjetas no necesita ser devuelto a IB, y puede ser deshechado y descartado.

Information Relating to Customer Protection of Assets
The below information applies to trading of non-US index options, OTC CFDs and non-US index futures (when combined with non-US index options)
Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited
Customer Assets
Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited (“IBUK)’’ is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA“), register no. 208159. IBUK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Interactive Brokers Group (IBG LLC). IBUK provides client money and client asset services in accordance with FCA Client Assets regulations “CASS”.
Client money is protected as follows:
Client money rules apply to all regulated firms that receive money from a client, or hold money for a client in the course of carrying out MiFID business and/or designated investment business.
Client money is entirely segregated from IBUK’s own money. In the event of a failure of an authorised firm, clients’ monies held in the segregated accounts will be returned to the clients rather than being treated as a recoverable asset by general creditors. If there was a shortfall, the client may be eligible to claim for compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”).
Client money is ring-fenced in separate bank accounts which are held in trust on behalf of the clients. These accounts are distributed across a number of banks with investment grade ratings to avoid a concentration risk with any single institution. When IBUK makes the selection and appointment of a bank to hold client money, it takes into account the expertise and market reputation of the bank, its financial standing and any legal requirements or market practices related to the holding of client money that could adversely affect clients' rights.
IBUK will allow client money to be held in a client transaction account by an exchange, a clearing house or an intermediate broker but only if the money is transferred to them for the purpose of a transaction or to meet a client’s obligation to provide collateral for a transaction.
Each day, IBUK performs a detailed reconciliation of client money held in client money bank accounts and client transaction accounts and its liabilities to its clients to ensure that client monies are properly segregated and sufficient to meet all liabilities in accordance with the FCA’s CASS rules. All monies credited to such bank accounts are held by the firm as trustee (or if relevant, as agent).
FCA regulations also require IBUK to maintain a CASS Resolution Pack to ensure that in the unlikely event of the firm's liquidation, the Insolvency Practitioner is able to retrieve information with a view to returning client money and assets to the firm's clients on a timely basis.
Financial Services Compensation scheme
Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited (“IBUK”) is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) as an investment firm and a participant in the Financial Services Compensation scheme (“FSCS”). Certain eligible clients qualify for
compensation under the FCA Compensation rules.
The main points relating to eligibility are:
- FSCS pays compensation only to eligible claimants when an authorised firm is in default and will carry out an investigation to establish whether or not this is the case.
- FSCS pays compensation only for financial loss and the limits for U.K. Investment firms are covered below.
- The FSCS was set up mainly to assist private individuals, although smaller businesses are also covered.
- Larger businesses are generally excluded.
Investments
FSCS provides protection if an authorised investment firm is unable to pay claims against it e.g. when an authorised investment firm goes out of business and cannot return assets to its clients. Assets classified as investments for authorised investment firms under the FSCS include stocks and shares, futures, options, cfds, other regulated instruments and money deposited by clients.
Compensation Limits
The actual level of compensation you receive will depend on the basis of your claim. The FSCS only pays compensation for financial loss. Compensation limits are per person per authorised firm. Compensation levels are subject to change and for current details please refer to the FSCS website at http://www.fscs.org.uk / .
The below information applies to customers who were or are continuing to trade all products (except metals and OTC CFDs) through IB LLC.
Interactive Brokers LLC (“IBLLC”)
Customer Assets
Customer money is segregated in special bank or custody accounts, which are designated for the exclusive benefit of customers of IBLLC. This protection (the SEC term is “reserve” and the CFTC term is “segregation”) is a core principle of securities and commodities brokerage. By properly segregating the customer's assets, if no money or stock is borrowed and no futures positions are held by the customer, then the customer's assets are available to be returned to the customer in the event of a default by or bankruptcy of the broker.
Securities accounts with no borrowing of cash or securities
Securities customer money is protected as follows:
- A portion is deposited at 14 large U.S. banks in special reserve accounts for the exclusive benefit of IBLLC's customers. These deposits are distributed across a number of banks with investment-grade ratings so that we can avoid a concentration risk with any single institution. No single bank holds more than 5% of total customer funds held by IBLLC.
- A portion may be invested in U.S. Treasury securities, including direct investments in short-term Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements, where the collateral received is in the form of U.S. Treasury securities. These transactions are conducted with third parties and guaranteed through a central counterparty clearing house (Fixed Income Clearing Corp., or “FICC”). The collateral remains in the possession of IBLLC and held at a custody bank in a segregated Special Custody Account for the exclusive benefit of customers. U.S. Treasury securities may also be pledged to a clearing house to support customer margin requirements on securities options positions.
- Customer cash is maintained on a net basis in the reserve accounts, which reflects the net credit balances of customers in excess of customer debit balances. To the extent any one customer maintains a margin loan with IBLLC, that loan will be fully secured by stock valued at up to 200% of the loan.
- Current SEC regulations require broker-dealers to perform a detailed reconciliation of customer money and securities (known as the “reserve computation”) at least weekly to ensure that customer monies are properly segregated from the broker-dealer's own funds.
Customer-owned, fully-paid securities are protected in accounts at depositories and custodians that are specifically identified for the exclusive benefit of customers. IBLLC reconciles positions in securities owned by customers daily to ensure that these securities have been received at the depositories and custodians
Commodities accounts
Commodities customer money is protected as follows:
- A portion is pledged to futures clearing houses to support customer margin requirements on futures and options on futures positions or held in custody accounts identified as segregated for the benefit of IB's customers.
- A portion is held at commodities clearing banks/brokers in accounts identified as segregated for the benefit of IBLLC customers to support customer margin requirements.
- Cash in commodities accounts is protected in accordance with US commodities regulations. CFTC rules prohibit an FCM from commingling customer funds with its own money, securities or property. Customer funds must be separately accounted for and segregated as belonging to commodity or option customers. The titles of accounts in which customer funds are deposited must clearly indicate this and show that the funds are segregated as required by the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) and CFTC Rules. Customer funds may not be obligated to anyone except to purchase, margin, guarantee, secure, transfer, adjust or settle trades, contracts or commodity option transactions of commodity or option customers. These requirements also extend to U.S. customers trading on foreign exchanges.
Securities accounts with margin loans
For customers who borrow money from IBLLC to purchase securities, IBLLC is permitted by securities regulations to pledge or borrow stock valued at up to 140% of the value of the loan. Typically, IBLLC lends out a small portion of the total stock it is permitted to lend out.
- As an example, at June 30, 2011, IBLLC lent $800 million value of customers' stock out of the $13.0 billion made available to it by margin customers.
- When IBLLC lends customers' stock, it must put additional money into the special reserve accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers. In the example above, the full value of $800 million of customer stock that was lent was segregated in the special reserve accounts.
Account Protection
Customer securities accounts at IBLLC are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) for a maximum coverage of $500,000 (with a cash sublimit of $250,000) and under IBLLC's excess SIPC policy with certain underwriters at Lloyd's of London for up to an additional $30 million (with a cash sublimit of $900,000) subject to an aggregate limit of $150 million. Futures, and options on futures are not covered. As with all securities firms, this coverage provides protection against failure of a broker-dealer, not against loss of market value of securities.
For the purpose of determining a customer account, accounts with like names and titles (e.g. John and Jane Smith and Jane and John Smith) are combined, but accounts with different titles are not (e.g. Individual/John Smith and IRA/John Smith).
SIPC is a non-profit, membership corporation funded by broker-dealers that are members of SIPC. For more information about SIPC and answers to frequently asked questions (such as how SIPC works, what is protected, how to file a claim, etc.), please refer to the following websites:

Security Device Replacement Charge
Account holders logging into their account via IBKR's Secure Login System are issued a security device, which provides an additional layer of protection to that afforded by the user name and password, and which is intended to prevent online hackers and other unauthorized individuals from accessing their account. While IBKR does not charge any fee for the use of the device, certain versions require that the account holder return the device upon account closing or incur a replacement fee. Existing account holders are also subject to this replacement fee in the event their device is lost, stolen or damaged (note that there is no fee to replace a device returned as a result of battery failure).
In addition, while IBKR does not assess a replacement fee unless a determination has been made that the device has been lost, stolen, damaged or not returned, a reserve equal to the fee will placed upon the account upon issuance of the device to secure its return. This reserve will have no effect upon the equity of the account available for trading, but will act as limit to full withdrawals or transfers until such time the device is returned (i.e., cannot withdraw the reserve balance).
Outlined below are the replacement fee associated with each device.
| SECURITY DEVICE | REPLACEMENT FEE |
| Security Code Card1 | $0.001 |
| Digital Security Card + | $20.00 |
For instructions regarding the return of security devices, please see KB975
1 The Security Code Card is not required to be returned upon account closing and may be destroyed and discarded once remaining funds have been returned and the account has been fully closed. Access to Client Portal after closure for purposes of viewing and retrieving activity statements and tax documents is maintained using solely the existing user name and password combination. This type of two-factor security is no longer being issued.
