If client action is required post account creation, IBKR will assign a login message to the user. Once login message is assigned, user will be prompted to complete login message upon accessing IBKR Portal.

Scenarios which IBKR will assign a login message:

  • Expired tax form
  • Update CRS form
  • Verify Account Information
  • Email Bounced

The following login messages can be completed using the API:

All other login messages will need to be completed within IBKR Portal (not via API).

View Login Messages by Account

The /gw/api/v1/accounts/{accountId}/login-messages can be used to view login messages assigned to a specific account.
