3. Accounts with a NAV of less than USD 100,000 (or equivalent) will be paid at a rate proportional to accounts with a NAV of USD 100,000 (or equivalent) or more.

This does not apply to currencies with negative interest rates, where the negative rate applied will be the same regardless of account size. See ibkr.com/interest for details.
