The PEA Transfer Position screen allows you to move your PEA account (Cash and Securities) from IBKR to another compatible PEA account at your other financial institution. Your financial institution and IBKR will coordinate the transfer upon your entry of the IBKR transfer-out request form in Client Portal. You will need to reach out to your financial institution to initiate the transfer and ensure they have received all that is required, such as complete forms or other verification's they may require from you. Please contact your current PEA service provider and follow their guidelines for accepting the transfer from IBKR.
Timing: The transfer may take several business days to complete and strongly depends on the receiving financial institutions response times on our request. We advise to ask them for their current processing times after you have provided them with what they require from you to proceed.
Fees: Determined by your PEA provider. We do not apply any fees for transfers.
