Investors can initiate transfers electronically through the Client Portal. To initiate a transfer, login to the Client Portal and select the Transfer & Pay option.
Transaction Status & History will display any transfers in or out of the account for the selected time period. Transaction Status & History will display a date range of up to 90 days, however the investor can adjust the date range in the top left corner. The screen will display the transfer date, type, amount/position, method and status. To view further details of the transfer, investors can click on the transaction line.
To do a cash transfer, investors can select the Transfer Funds option from the Transfer & Pay menu. Select to Make a Deposit or Make a Withdrawal. Note that if the investor has multiple accounts at IBKR, they can transfer funds internally between accounts in addition to external transfers. If the investor has previously saved instructions, they will see the option to choose one of the deposit methods they’ve used before or to use a new method. If adding new instructions, select Use a New Method and, on the following page, investors will select the currency they wish to transfer. Once selected, all deposit methods available will be displayed, such as ACH, Bank Wire, Online Bill Pay, and Mail a Check. Please note the transfer methods available are based on the currency selections. There will be a box for each transfer method containing information regarding that method and investors can select More Information to view further details. Investors can select Get Instructions or Use this Method next to the method of their choosing. The following page will allow the investor to enter details of the transfer, including the sending institution and amount. Please note that for deposits, the Bank Wire, Online Bill Pay, and Mail a Check options do not pull funds into the IBKR account but instead just create a deposit notification notifying IBKR of the deposit.
To do an asset transfer, investors can select the Transfer Positions option from the Transfer & Pay menu. Select Incoming or Outgoing. Note that if the investor has multiple accounts at IBKR, they can transfer positions internally between accounts in addition to external transfers. On the next screen, investors will select the region of the delivering firm. Once selected, all transfer method available will be displayed. Please note the transfer methods available are based on the region of the delivering firm. The investor can click the Select button next to the method they wish to use and fill in the transfer details on the following page. If using an ACATS transfer, investors will select the broker where their assets are held, enter their account number at the broker, account title, account type, and tax identification number. Investors can choose to save the broker information. Next, the investor will indicate if they are doing a full or partial transfer by selecting Yes or No next to transfer all assets. If making a partial transfer, use the Add Asset button to manually enter all positions, or the Upload CSV button to upload a CSV file with all positions.
Investors can view any saved bank or broker information from the Transfer & Pay menu and select Saved Information. Select the blue arrow icon to the left of the instruction name to view details of the instruction. Select the blue pencil icon to edit the instruction name or the blue x icon to delete the instructions.
From the Transfer & Pay menu, investors can select the Direct Deposit/Debit option to send funds from their financial institution to their IBKR account via the ACH network. US residents can automatically deposit paychecks, pension and social security payments to their IBKR account. Please note that direct deposit is not currently available for IRA accounts.

I had deposited JPY to my IB account base currency is JPY. However ,JPY is transfered to USD. Why?
Hello, when transferring shares to the IBKR account from XTB, is all data transferred with it? I mean the price of every share and the date I bought it (when some are bought at different prices and at different dates), I mean the date specifically of buying each of the shares at the other broker. I am asking because of tax reasons, it is important for me to know the buy and sale date for each position so I can convert it to my local currency when filing taxes.
Or is the date of the original purchase lost when doing a transfer and the cost basis averaged out? Will the transferred shares be treated any differently in financial statements, then the ones bought directly on IBKR?
Hello, thank you for reaching out. The cost basis of covered positions will automatically update from your manual entry to the basis when sent by the transferrer. Please view this FAQ for more information: https://www.ibkr.com/faq?id=28216784

Hi Team,
I am already a client who has a small portfolio that I trade options on with Interactive Brokers. Can I set up an account for an LLC, transfer my portfolio to this new LLC account and then continue to trade options from the new account?
Many thanks
Hello, thank you for asking. Yes, you can set up an LLC account with IBKR, request to transfer your existing portfolio from your individual account to the new LLC account and continue to trade options in the new LLC account, provided you have the appropriate trading permissions.
Please note that IBKR does not support the direct re-characterization and conversion of a given account type to another as each structure typically requires specific account holder information, legal agreements and, in certain instances taxpayer reporting. Account holders who seek to convert their account from an individual to an LLC account type must first initiate a new account application for a trust or LLC account and then request a transfer of assets once that trust or LLC account has been approved. Once the transfer has been completed, the individual account will be closed. https://spr.ly/OpenAccountfromIBKRCampus
Please review this User Guide for more information: https://www.ibkrguides.com/kb/article-3322.htm
Please note that trading permissions do not automatically transfer to new accounts. You can view and manage your permissions any time here:

Please note that we cannot disclose the requirements needed for specific trading permissions.

I want to transfer positions into IBKR.. What is the significance of Settlement Date? Does it mean that the settlement can only be done on that date, or is there a window period that the settlement can be done/
Hi PJ, we appreciate your interest in IBKR! When purchasing or selling a security or other financial instrument there are two key dates involved with the transaction. The first is the Trade Date which represents the date on which the order was executed and the second, the Settlement Date, or the date at which payment is made and the shares are transferred. The Settlement Date can vary by product type and country of listing. For example, U.S. stocks, bonds, securities options, mutual funds, futures and futures options all settle 1 business day after Trade Date.

Hello, can I transfer margin positions from other broker’s account to IBKR? How does it work? Thanks.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Yes, IBKR accepts a position transfer that includes a margin loan. When you initiate an online application, you’ll be prompted at the conclusion to specify how you intend to fund the account. If your account is held with a U.S. broker, then you can authorize a full or partial ACATS transfer which will be initiated once your account is approved.
If you select a full account transfer, your broker will send a list of securities held along with cash (debit or credit ) balance. IBKR will perform a credit check and if it passes the transfer will be accepted. If you select a partial account transfer, you will be prompted to enter the position and cash balances you intend to transfer and a credit check will be performed shortly thereafter. https://www.ibkr.com/faq?id=35804551

I recently opened an Interactive Brokers account and am excited to manage my investments through your platform. I am based in Germany and currently hold a portfolio with Scalable Capital, including shares of Palantir and PayPal. I would like to transfer these securities from Scalable Capital to my Interactive Brokers account. However, when I attempt to initiate the transfer through your platform, the available options only seem to cover regions for the USA and Canada. I am unable to find a clear process for transferring securities from a German brokerage like Scalable Capital. Could you kindly provide guidance on how I can complete this transfer? Specifically: 1. Is there a particular form or procedure for transferring securities from Scalable Capital in Germany to Interactive Brokers? 2. Are there any specific requirements, fees, or additional documentation I need to be aware of? I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your instructions to complete the transfer smoothly. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for commenting, Zafar. We have received your email on this topic and will respond to you there.
What can be the reason for the funds I deposited via wire transfer not being available for transfer? In advisor account I see the cash (it landed 3 hours ago), but when I go to the transfer section it states 0.0 USD is available. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I added Dominica citizenship (in addition to Russian citizenship) in the IB application and the corresponding tax residence (Andorra, I also have an Andorran residence permit). My orders for buying any shares (USA, Japan, etc.) were stopped. IB support verbally informs about a probable error, since for Russian citizens there are restrictions only on buying European shares if the place of residence is not the European Union. But in fact, the ban has not been lifted and what are the prospects?

Hello, I plan to move from the USA to Canada and hold stock/ETF investments at IBKR USA. I plan to update my address to that of my Canadian address after my move. Will IBKR let me adjust the cost basis in my existing account based on the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the date I become a Canadian Tax resident? What’s the best way to update my cost basis to reflect the Fair Market Value of the date when I became a Canadian Tax resident?
Hello, thank you for reaching out. If you relocate to a different country, you will be able to retain your account as long as you are not moving to a country that IBKR is prohibited from transacting business in due to government sanctions.
However, even if relocating to a permissible country, you may be required to initiate a new application and request a manual transfer of eligible assets once your new application has been approved. Whether this step will be required depends upon the country you were residing in and the one that you are moving to as IBKR maintains multiple entities each of which has been formed to carry client accounts based upon local regulatory requirements and IBKR policies. You would need to contact your local Client Service Center to determine if your particular situation requires opening a new account. https://spr.ly/IBKR_ClientServicesCampus

Hi, I moved from the US to Canada and became a Canadian Tax Resident this year. I am not a US citizen or Green Card Holder. I had a US IBKR brokerage account. Now when I update my address in my US IBKR account to my Canadian address, will the IBKR system let me update my cost basis to reflect the FMV (Fair Market Value) of those stocks/ETFs/Positions on the day I became a Canadian Tax Resident? Or will it just transfer the cost basis as is from what the IBKR USA account has from the original purchase? I am looking for clarity on how to make sure that after I update my address to Canada now that I am a Canadian Tax Resident, I am able to reflect correct cost basis which is the FMV based on the date I became a Canadian Tax Resident this year. Please let me know.

My wife and I are moving from the US to Canada. I’d like to open an IBKR account in Canada and transfer positions in-kind from our current IBKR US account to a new IBKR Canada account. Can you provide me with a step-by-step process for doing this? How do I open the account? Do I create a new account at InteractiveBrokers.ca, or do I ‘open an additional account’ after I’ve logged in from the US? I want to make sure that it’s an in-kind position transfer so we can maintain the cost basis in USD and avoid creating a capital gain on the transfer. Can you confirm that this is possible? It looks like the Tax ID numbers on both accounts must match in order to make the transfer. Can I use both my US and Canadian tax IDs on the new Canadian account? How do I link my US and Canadian accounts? Thank you!
