Interactive brokers offers several flexible and convenient methods to Taiwanese clients for funding their account. Clients may transfer funds from a bank account located in Taiwan or overseas as long as the bank account is in the same name as the IBKR account holder and the transfer is in one of the 26 currencies supported by IBKR. At present, TWD/NTD (Taiwanese Dollar/New Taiwanese Dollar) is not one of the supported currency in IBKR. Prior to funding their account, clients should verify that their deposit currency is supported.
TWD is currently not a supported deposit currency, but other currencies are available for our Taiwan clients to deposit to their IBKR accounts. The below table shows the deposit methods available for the most commonly used deposit currencies for IBKR Taiwan clients. To see the list of supported currencies and available deposit methods, please refer to our Fund your Account page and select 'Taiwan (Republic of China)' as "My Region of Residence".
