Interactive Brokers

Broker Overview

Interactive Brokers is a brokerage brand associated with Interactive Brokers Group, Inc.. The research record describes its ownership as: Public company (NASDAQ: IBKR). The brand’s operating history is recorded as 1978, while the headquarters or principal operating location captured in this review is Greenwich, Connecticut, US. Its official domain is https://www.interactivebrokers.com/. The broker serves different markets through separate companies, so users should not assume that one group entity, product list or protection framework applies worldwide. The target-market summary in the reviewed record is: Global multi-asset brokerage; availability and products differ by entity. Restricted-country list: Not Verified in this run.

Regulation and Legal Structure

The representative legal-entity record states: Representative entity set: Interactive Brokers LLC (US); Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited; Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited and other regional affiliates. Exact client entity depends on residence and product. The client-coverage note states: Multiple regulated broker-dealer/investment-firm entities. This release verified group pricing and product disclosures, but did not re-open every regional register entry. These statements should be read at entity level. A licence belonging to one company does not automatically cover another affiliate, and a registration, service company, payment processor or introducing entity should not be described as the product issuer unless the legal documents confirm that role. The database confidence for this profile is High, and the provisional evidence score is 92/100. This score assesses the quality of the public evidence reviewed; it is not a safety guarantee or personal recommendation.

Accounts and Trading Conditions

The trading record states: Stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, funds and other products; Trader Workstation, Client Portal, mobile apps; extensive APIs. Demo/paper account available. FIX access is institutional/eligibility dependent. The pricing record states: Spot FX commission advertised at 0.08–0.20 basis points of trade value, subject to minimums and volume tiers; no broker spread markup claimed. General account minimum: USD 0. Spot-FX order minimums apply, including EUR 20,000 equivalent examples. Published spreads, commissions and minimums are treated as advertised information rather than independently observed execution costs. Before publication, the relevant account type, legal entity, currency, measurement date, commission basis and financing terms should be shown together. Maximum leverage is jurisdiction- and client-classification dependent and was not treated as one global brand-level figure in this profile.

Platforms and Apps

Based on the reviewed materials, the main platform and access information is: Stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, funds and other products; Trader Workstation, Client Portal, mobile apps; extensive APIs. Demo/paper account available. FIX access is institutional/eligibility dependent. Platform availability can differ by region. An MT4 or MT5 logo on a group page does not prove that every entity or account supports that platform. Likewise, official App Store and Google Play listings should be linked only after the developer identity and regional availability have been verified. This profile includes the required screenshot filenames, but no image asset is represented as cleared for republication unless a source or permission is stated.

Markets and Instruments

The broad product snapshot is: Stocks/Shares, ETFs/Funds, Options, Futures, Bonds. Exact instrument counts should not be quoted unless they are current, entity-specific and verified on an official product page. Where a broker offers both real securities and derivatives, those categories should be distinguished. The same asset name can represent a share, future, option, rolling forex contract or CFD with materially different ownership and risk.

Deposits and Withdrawals

The service-information record states: 24-hour weekday support and broad research/tools; exact language coverage and withdrawal timing: Not Verified. A complete payment review should verify the payment beneficiary, supported methods, currencies, processing windows, withdrawal rules and any third-party or conversion charges. Those details were not uniformly captured across all entities in the current database, so the profile uses “Not publicly available” rather than filling gaps from comparison websites. A small withdrawal test can provide operational evidence, but it does not replace regulator and entity verification.

Customer Support

The available support summary is: 24-hour weekday support and broad research/tools; exact language coverage and withdrawal timing: Not Verified. Support hours, languages, telephone numbers and email addresses should be checked on the entity-specific contact page immediately before publication. Users should contact firms through independently verified official details, particularly when an unsolicited representative provides a different domain, messaging number or payment instruction.

Important Considerations

The execution and risk note states: Agency-style access and smart routing vary by product. Retail leverage, compensation eligibility, margin rules and negative-balance treatment are entity/product-specific; do not apply one region’s terms globally. The regulatory-history note states: No current serious restriction identified in the primary pages reviewed. This is not an exhaustive regulator-history clearance. The recorded conflict or qualification is: The broker is strong for multi-asset access, but its minimum FX trade size makes it unlike a typical small-ticket CFD broker. The unresolved research item is: Reconfirm each regional entity, compensation scheme and retail-FX leverage before jurisdiction-specific publication. The principal source set used in this review included Interactive Brokers spot-currency commissions, Interactive Brokers account minimums. All information was last checked on 10 July 2026. Users and editors should repeat the official-register and legal-document checks before opening an account, depositing funds or presenting the broker in a jurisdiction-specific ranking.
