移动IBKR验证程序(IB Key)

 

目录

  

简介

IBKR高度重视您的资产和个人信息安全,并致力于采取必要措施确保您的账户自开立起便受到保护。 这其中非常重要的一项便是安全登录系统(SLS),这一登录程序采用双因素验证防止任何其他人访问或使用您的账户,即使他们掌握了您的用户名和密码。一旦加入SLS,便只可通过使用两项安全因素访问账户:1) 您已知的(用户名和密码);2) 您已有的(实物安全设备或手机应用程序生成的随机代码)。

IBKR提供多种SLS设备,每种设备的技术设计对应一种资产水平(参见KB1131)。下方文章概述了移动IBKR验证程序(IB Key),一种可直接在手机上启用的双因素安全应用程序。

PIN Guidelines

Certain security devices used for accessing your IBKR account require the creation of a numeric or alphanumeric PIN code at the point of request or activation.

The PIN is intended as an additional layer of protection as it effectively prevents unauthorized individuals who may inadvertently come into possession of your device from operating it. It’s therefore important to select a PIN which you can easily remember, yet which is difficult for others to guess.

Outlined below are a series of guidelines or best practices to be taken into consideration when creating your PIN:

  • Do not use your own date of birth
  • Do not use the date of birth of your children or any other immediate family member
  • Do not use parts of your personal or business address, such as street name and number, ZIP and/or Postal Code
  • Do not use any part of your Citizen ID (such as SSN or ID document number)
  • Do not use phone numbers


For the non-numeric part of the PIN, avoid using:

  • Your, your family's or relatives initials, the name of your city or of sports teams
  • Your, your family's or relatives first and/or last names

 

We recommend including lower and upper case letters and numbers.

A common way to construct a memorable PIN that corresponds to those requirements is to construct a sentence and then use the first letters of its words.

Introduction

The security of your assets and personal information is of utmost concern to IBKR and we are committed to taking the steps necessary to make certain that you are protected from the moment you open your account.  A key component of protection is the Secure Login System (SLS), a login process which relies upon Two-Factor Authentication to prevent anyone from accessing or using your account, even if they know your User Name and password. Once SLS enrolled, your account can only be accessed through use of 2 security factors: 1) something you know (entry of your User Name and password combination); and 2) something you have (entry of a random code generated from a physical security device or Smartphone application).

IBKR offers a variety of SLS devices, with the technical design of each corresponding to the level of assets maintained (see KB1131). The following article provides an overview of the IBKR Mobile Authentication (IB Key), a Two-Factor security solution which can be enabled directly onto your Smartphone.

Benefits

IBKR Mobile Authentication (IB Key) is available on your Smartphone via our IBKR Mobile app and can function as a security device, thereby eliminating the need to carry a separate physical device when logging into your IBKR account. In addition to the convenience of using a device which is trusted and routinely accessible, this app can be downloaded and activated in minutes, thereby eliminating the delays associated with the mailing of physical devices. Moreover, unlike in the case of physical devices, clients maintaining multiple accounts with distinct User Names may access IBKR Mobile Authentication (IB Key) all from the same IBKR Mobile app. Please refer to KB2879 for more details.

Welcome to Interactive Brokers

Overview: 

Now that your account is funded and approved you can start trading. The information below will help you getting
started as a new customer of Interactive Brokers.

  1. Your Money
  2. Configure your account to trade
  3. How to trade
  4. Trade all over the World
  5. 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
In order to be able to trade a particular asset class in a particular country, you need to get the trading permission for it via your Account Management. Please note that trading permissions are free. You might however be asked to sign risk
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.
Customers have the option to receive delayed market data for free by clicking the Free Delayed Data button from a non-subscribed ticker row.

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.

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.

有关客户资产保护的信息

下列信息适用于非美国指数期权、场外(OTC)差价合约(CFD)及非美国指数期货(与非美国指数期权相结合时)的交易

 

盈透证券(英国)有限公司


客户资产
盈透证券(英国)有限公司("IBUK")由金融市场行为监管局(FCA)授权并规管,注册号码208159。IBUK是由盈透证券集团(IBG LLC)全资拥有的子公司。IBUK按照FCA客户资产规则"CASS"提供客户资金与客户资产服务。

客户资金受到下列保护:

客户资金规则适用于所有在从事金融工具市场法规(MiFID)业务及/或指定投资业务的过程中从客户处收取资金,或持有客户资金的规管公司。

客户资金与IBUK自有资金完全分离。如果出现授权公司破产的情况,在分离账户中持有的客户资金将被归还给客户而不是被债权人看做可收回资产。如果出现差额,客户可能有资格向金融服务补偿计划("FSCS")要求补偿。

客户资金圈定在独立银行账户中,以信托形式在客户名义下持有。这些账户分散在多家具有投资等级评级的银行中,以避免一家机构的风险集中性。IBUK选择并指定持有客户资金的银行时会考虑银行的专业性、市场声誉、财务状况及任何可能对客户权利有负面影响的有关客户资金持有的法律要求及市场惯例。

IBUK仅在以下情况下允许交易所、清算所或中介经纪商在客户交易账户中持有客户资金:向其转账资金是用于交易或用于满足客户提供交易抵押的义务。

IBUK每天对在客户资金银行账户及客户交易账户中持有的客户资金及其对客户的负债作详细的对账,确保客户资金被恰当隔离,且足够满足FCA的CASS规则要求的所有债务。所有计入这些银行账户的资金公司均作为受托人持有(或者如果相关,作为代理)。

FCA规则还要求IBUK维持CASS决议,以确保万一公司发生清算的情况下,破产管理人能够查找信息以便向公司客户及时归还客户资金及资产。

金融服务补偿计划

盈透证券(英国)有限公司("IBUK")是由金融市场行为监管局("FCA")授权并规管的投资公司,以及金融服务补偿计划("FSCS")成员。按照FCA补偿规则,某些合格客户有资格获得补偿。

有关合格性的要点为:

  • FSCS仅在授权公司欠款的情况下才向合格申请人支付赔偿并将调查是否存在该事实。
  • FSCS仅赔偿财务损失,对U.K.投资公司的限制在下面列出。
  • FSCS的设立主要为了帮助个人,尽管小型公司也包括在内。
  • 大型公司通常排除在外。

投资

如果授权投资公司无法满足索赔,则FSCS提供保护——例如,如果一家授权投资公司破产,不能将资产返还给其客户。FSCS授权投资公司归类为投资的资产包括股票与股份、期货、期权、CFD及其他由客户投入的规管金融工具及资金。

赔偿限制

 

您收到的实际赔偿水平将基于您的索赔。FSCS仅支付金融损失赔偿。赔偿限制限各授权公司,各个人。

当前对投资的最高赔偿水平为各公司各人5万英镑(向从2010年一月1日起被宣布欠款的公司提出的索赔)。赔偿水平可能变化,要获取最新详情请见FSCS网站://www.fscs.org.uk / 。
 

下列信息适用于所有曾经或继续通过IB LLC交易所有产品(除金属及OTC CFD)的客户。

 

盈透证券有限公司("IBLLC")


客户资产
客户资产隔离在指定给IBLLC客户的专用特殊银行或托管账户中。该保护(SEC称为“储备”,CFTC称为“隔离”)是证券和商品经纪的核心原则。通过妥善分离客户资产,如果客户没有借入资金或股票,且未持有期货头寸,那么倘若经纪商违约或破产,客户资产可以返还给客户。


无借贷现金或证券的证券账户

证券客户资金保护如下:

  • 一部分存在14家大型美国银行的IBLLC客户专用特殊储备账户中。这些存款分布在多家具投资等级评级的银行,以避免任何单个机构带来的集中风险。每间银行持有的资金不超过IBLLC所持客户资产的5%。
  • 一部分投资于美国国债,包括直接投资短期国债和以美国国债作为抵押的反向回购协议。这些交易与第三方进行并通过中央对手方清算所(固定收益结算公司,即 “FICC”)担保。抵押为IBLLC所有并存放在托管银行客户专用的隔离储备保管账户。美国国债也可质押给清算所用以支持客户所持证券期权头寸的保证金要求。
  • 客户现金在储备账户中以净值为基础,反映超出客户借方余额的净贷方余额。已达到任一客户在IBLLC有保证金借贷,该借贷都有价值借贷额度200%的股票进行担保的程度。
  • 目前美国证券交易委员会(SEC)要求经纪交易商至少每周对客户的资金和证券进行详细核对(也称为“储备计算”),以确保客户的资金准确地与经纪交易商的基金分离。

客户拥有的、全额支付的证券在明确认定的客户专用存管和托管账户中受到保护。IBLLC每日核对客户拥有的证券头寸,确保存管和托管机构已收到这些证券。

商品账户

商品客户资金保护如下:

  • 一部分质押给期货清算所用以支持客户所持期货及期货期权头寸的保证金要求,或在确定为用于隔离IB客户资金的托管账户中持有。
  • 一部分存放在确定为隔离IBLLC客户资金的商品清算银行/经纪商账户中,以支持客户保证金要求。
  • 按商品法规定,客户资金受到实时保护。IBLLC每日对客户资产进行详细核对,以确保客户资金被恰当分离。计算结果每日提交给监管机构。

有保证金借贷的证券账户 

向IBLLC借款买入证券的客户,证券法规允许IBLLC最高抵押或借入价值借贷价值140%的股票。通常,IBLLC借出其获许借出股票总数中的一小部分。

  • 例如,在2011年6月30日,IBLLC从保证金客户提供的130亿美元股票中借出8亿美元。
  • 当IBLLC借出客户的股票时,必须将额外资金存入指定储备账户,为客户设置预留金额。在上面的例子中,借出的客户股票的总价值8亿美元隔离在特殊储备金账户中。

账户保护 

IBLLC客户证券账户受到证券投资人保护公司("SIPC")最高达50万美元(现金额度25万美元)的保护,且根据IBLLC与伦敦劳埃德保险公司 (Lloyd's of London)承销商协定的超SIPC赔额政策,证券账户还享有额外最高达3000万美元(现金额度90万美元)的保护,总限额一亿五千万。期货、期货期权不包含在内。与所有证券公司相同,此类保险在经纪交易商倒闭时为客户提供保护,而不是针对证券市场价值的损失。

出于确定客户账户的目的,有相似的名字和名称的账户被合并在一起(例如:John和Jane Smith与Jane和John Smith),但名称不同的账户不合并(例如:个人/John Smith和个人退休账户/John Smith)。

SIPC是一个非盈利性质,由SIPC成员经纪交易商集资的成员性质的公司。查看关于SIPC的更多信息和常见问题解答(例如SIPC怎样运作,什么受到保护,怎样索赔,等等),请参见以下网站:

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:
