How do I setup Direct ACH Transfers/Direct Debits?

You can setup Direct ACH Transfers/Direct Debits through the Transfer & Pay menu in Client Portal. You will be prompted to sign an agreement before you can request a Direct ACH Transfer/Direct Debit.

For Direct ACH Transfer purposes, your IBKR account is not specifically categorized as either a checking or savings account. However, please select "Checking" as the account type when setting up the instruction. Provide your employer or paying institution with the following information:

  • Account Holder Name
  • Financial Institution
  • IBKR's ABA Routing Number
  • Account Number (as listed on the "Interactive Brokers Direct Deposit Form" page)
  • Account Type

You can find these details by logging into Client Portal, navigating to the Transfer & Pay menu, and selecting Direct Deposit/Debit.

Please note, direct ACH deposit is limited to USD and is available for individual or joint accounts (IRAs are excluded).
