Why am I not able to connect my account via Open Banking?

There are various reasons why a connection of your account via Open Banking cannot be established, such as:

  • The account holder at the bank is not the same as the account holder with IBKR.
  • The account title of both accounts differ slightly. The connection can only be established if the account titles on both accounts match exactly.
  • Technical limitations or limitation of the other financial institution you try to connect, which is out of our control. 

Unfortunately, IBKR does not receive feedback from other financial institutions on a failed connection request. IBKR advises to use alternative funding methods available in Client Portal to transfer funds such as local electronic transfer methods and/or wire if your Open Banking connection fails.
