The Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF) is sponsored by the Canadian regulator (IIROC) to ensure client assets held by a Canadian investment dealer are protected if a member firm becomes insolvent. IB Canada is a member of the CIPF which offers insurance against member default for amounts up to CAD 1,000,000. Covered assets include cash, securities and commodities and will depend on the account type:
Non-registered accounts (Cash, Margin, TFSA)
1,000,000 CAD for any combination of cash, securities and commodities under all non-registered account types.
For assets held in a joint account or under a corporation, the percentage interest is added towards the same total.
Registered account (RSP)
RSP accounts are treated as "Separate Account" and are eligible for an additional 1,000,000 CAD coverage. Additional details can be found on www.cipf.ca.
Please note, IB Canada accounts receive CIPF protection in lieu of SIPC protection.

In case your smartphone is unable to receive IBKR Mobile notifications, you can still complete the login process using the IBKR Mobile Authentication (IB Key) Challenge/Response method, described on the following pages (according to your device operating system):
The same information applies to you if your phone has no Internet connectivity (you are in roaming, out of coverage, without an active mobile data plan, etc.)
If your smartphone is unable to receive IBKR Mobile notifications despite having Internet connectivity, we recommend you to perform the steps outlined in the IBKR Knowledge Base.
IBKR s'engage à protéger votre compte par le biais de la connexion par authentification à 2 facteurs. Avec la double authentification, l'accès à votre compte est fourni via l'utilisation d'un « élément que vous connaissez » (la saisie d'un nom d’utilisateur et mot de passe) ainsi que la saisie d'un « élément dont vous disposez » (un outil qui génère un code aléatoire à saisir après le nom d'utilisateur et mot de passe). La double authentification vise à réduire le risque que des hackers (qui se seraient procurés votre mot de passe par un programme malveillant ou piratage psychologique) puissent accéder à votre compte.
Si IBKR offre plusieurs options d'authentification à 2 facteurs, l'authentification IBKR Mobile est généralement perçu comme le moyen d'accès et d'utilisation le plus pratique. Vous trouverez ci-dessous certaines des fonctionnalités les plus populaires de l'application.
1. Toujours disponible :
Tout comme votre smartphone, votre outil d'accès sécurisé à votre compte IBKR est toujours avec vous.
2. Pratique :
Pas d'appareil supplémentaire à transporter, suivre ou surveiller. En cas de perte ou de changement de téléphone, le Service clientèle IBKR peut vous aider à redémarrer votre application en un clin d’œil.
3. Activation rapide :
Quelques minutes après le téléchargement de votre application, vous pouvez déjà l'utiliser pour authentification de votre compte.
4. Pas de livraison ou de retour :
Pas de retard de livraison ou retour d'appareils dont la batterie aurait été épuisée. Un rapide téléchargement suffit.
5. Connexion rapide, sécurisée et simple avec notre authentification directe :
Lorsque vous vous connectez aux plateformes de trading ou au Portail Client, vous n'avez besoin que de votre nom d'utilisateur et mot de passe - IBKR vous enverra une notification et vous utiliserez le protocole IB Key pour terminer l'authentification par empreinte/reconnaissance faciale ou PIN en fonction de votre configuration.
6. Permet à plusieurs utilisateurs de procéder à l'authentification avec la même application :
Si vous avez un appareil de sécurité pour votre compte personnel IBKR, l'un pour votre compte joint avec votre conjoint et l'autre pour votre compte professionnel, vous apprécierez de pouvoir activer la même application pour tous vos utilisateurs (et plus).
7. Disponible pour tous les smartphones, où que vous soyez :
IBKR Mobile peut être téléchargé depuis l'App Store Apple si vous avez un iPhone. Les utilisateurs d'Android peuvent comme à l'accoutumé, obtenir l'application dans le Google Play store. Les clients de Chine peuvent obtenir l'application sur Baidu et les boutiques 360.cn.
8. Fonctionne également hors ligne :
Si votre téléphone est hors ligne (par exemple si vous êtes en vacances ou si la réception est mauvaise), vous pouvez malgré tout utiliser l'authentification IBKR Mobile. Même si l'authentification directe n'est pas accessible, l'application peut générer les codes dont vous avez besoin pour accéder à votre compte ou trader.
9. Livraison sécurisée pour la réinitialisation de votre mot de passe :
Une fois IBKR Mobile installé et l'authentification IB Key activée, vous pouvez demander au Service clientèle IBKR de vous envoyer un mot de passe temporaire sur votre téléphone de manière sécurisée sans le risque inhérent à un SMS ou autre moyen de communication..
10. Faible utilisation de ressources :
IBKR Mobile peut être téléchargé même avec les forfaits de données les plus restreints et peut être installé sur votre smartphone sans utiliser trop de ressources. La taille de l'application et son exploitation est limitée au strict minimum, sans compromettre sa sécurité.
Pour un aperçu de l'authentification IBKR Mobile, notamment son installation, activation et utilisation, veuillez consulter l'article KB2260.
L'application IBKR Mobile est peut-être déjà installée sur plusieurs appareils mais le module d'authentification IBKR Mobile (IB Key) ne peut être activé que sur un seul appareil, sur lequel vous réalisez les tâches de double authentification déclenchées à partir d'un autre appareil.
Lorsque vous aurez lu les conditions ci-dessus, veuillez cliquer sur les liens ci-dessous correspondants au système d'exploitation de votre second smartphone.
