IBKR’s Refer a Friend Program lets you share a link with a friend to open an account, and in return you receive a $200 bonus for each eligible referral. Referrers can receive up to 15 flat fee bonuses a year and 30 for life.
Your friend can earn up to $1000 worth of IBKR stock by funding their account according to the terms and conditions specified at signup. The referred client must open an account through the shared link, deposit at least USD 10,000 within thirty (30) days, and maintain at least that amount for one year following the opening of the account.
Your unique link is accessible from Client Portal using the button above, or you can follow the steps below to initiate a referral or check your:
- Log into Client Portal
