The MiFIR Transaction Reporting regime requires Investment Firms, like your IB Broker, to include specific client identifiers in their transaction reports.

Accounts that trade in financial instruments which are received and/or transmitted by one of the following Interactive Brokers Group entities (“IB Brokers”) will need to be identified in the IB Broker’s reports by using specific identifiers that may or may not be already available to it.

• Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited
• Interactive Brokers Central Europe Zrt.
• Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited

Similarly, Investment Firms that use the IB platform for their clients’ orders and have elected to transaction report through their IB Broker will have to use the same identifiers for their client orders. If you are the client of such a firm, your IB Broker may need additional information from you to complete the transaction reports.

Information Required
When additional information is necessary for this purpose, clients will be asked to provide it via the completion of an electronic form available in the Account Management.

The information requested for these accounts is:

• All countries of citizenship for natural persons that are account holders and authorised traders;
• A specific National Identifier for natural persons that are account holders and authorised traders;
• The Legal Entity Identifier for legal entities. Clients that do not have an LEI will be able to apply for one through their IB Broker.
• For organisation accounts, an indication as to whether the Legal Entity is a non-financial entity using the account for trades in Commodity Derivatives Transactions to reduce risk in an objectively measurable way in accordance with Article 57 of MiFID II.
